Good morning! And Happy Friday!
I am starting to train my co-worker who will be reviewing plans once I retire at the end of the year. I have a difficult time explaining things. I know exactly what I'm doing, I know what I want to say. I'm just not very concise and I always worry that I'm confusing him more than anything. He says I'm doing OK and he asks a lot of good questions. But it's going to take a while. Plan reviews can be difficult, especially when there are multiple pages of stormwater stuff and post-construction stuff! Lighting information. Landscaping information and the formulas involved. Some days I just want to when it's just me, so trying to explain this to somebody else isn't easy.
So: Are you good at explaining things to people? Are you concise with your explanations? Would you do well with explaining your job to somebody and training them to do your job?
