FROM OPA’s WORKSHOP – RECORDED JUNE 7 2025
Knowing how to communicate our knowledge of astrology in lectures or classes and to convey this information in practical and inspiring ways are the keys to being an effective teacher and presenter. This special, interactive course, open to astrologers of all levels, will benefit those wanting to teach classes and/or present at conferences, as well as more experienced practitioners who are seeking help to streamline their work and make it more accessible. Join Frank Clifford to learn the skills of presenting and teaching astrology succinctly and effectively.

Being a teacher is about being and staying informed … and then sharing, interacting and encouraging. A great teacher offers a good balance between visuals, information and delivery. In this workshop, we’ll look at:

• Talents: pinpointing your strengths and selecting your specialist subjects
• Inspirations: learning from others
• Structuring your time
• Working with different types of learner; humour and respect
• Amateur mistakes and expert blindness
• Selling yourself and your subject through your blurb
• Creating the best presentation
• Coping with the unexpected; difficulties with students
