Greetings Duane,
I found myself in a position similar to yours. Just thought I'd add something you probably already know.
I spent several years trying to use my skills as a watchmaker to execute my new role as an instructor. I spent way more energy than necessary because I was slow to realize that instructing is a profession separate from watchmaking and requires development of a different set of skills. It takes years of practice to develop skills so I found for me that the five year mark was the watershed period of time I needed to become adequate at instructiing.
Wow, we have to maintain two professions.
Stan
