The Right Mindset Is Key When Teaching | Guidance from a Slope Construction Specialist

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

New Surgery

Today, another ground anchor operator—a young man just 20 years old—joined our ranks.

I guess you could say it starts today, though lol

 

I was teaching while feeling irritable this morning, so that came across, and neither of us was able to teach or learn effectively.

In the afternoon, I pulled myself together and continued teaching calmly.

Before you know it, you'll be able to do it effortlessly.

 

Oh.

The learner's ability to absorb information depends on the teacher's mindset.I learned something else.

Actually, at my current job site, I’m the only Japanese person there—and I’m also the driver, lol—so I’m pretty busy managing the construction while also doing the drilling work myself.

Meanwhile, the phone was ringing off the hook, and if the supplier had forgotten to place the order for the materials, it would have been 💢💢💢💢.

And since my Japanese is still a bit broken, it’s hard, isn’t it?

 

But I've started to feel that words aren't really necessary.

I suppose the important parts are necessary to some extent, but the rest isn't really that important.

 

So, even though it was just a short anchor, I managed to drill the hole all by myself.

There’s still a mountain of things to learn, but in the end, whether a message gets across or not depends entirely on the mindset of the person conveying it!

Ground Anchor Construction: Pressurization

Teaching our rotary percussion is pretty scary, isn't it?

If you're not careful, it could easily rip off one of your arms.

Fingers are just spawns.

As anyone involved in construction or facility management will know, this machine is that dangerous.

That’s exactly why I felt it was necessary to teach them properly, and I realized that if I were frustrated while teaching them, it could actually lead to more accidents.

The frustration I felt when I was taught that continues to linger.

People who are taught that way tend to drive recklessly.

To prevent that from happening, I decided to take things slowly and teach them at a relaxed pace.

Safety is more important than speed.

I’ll gradually teach them the finer points—like not acting on impulse—but still,When things get dangerous, run away.That's it!

 

Next, as a basic technique for using the lever, I taught them to keep their elbows tucked in.

Keep your arms close to your body

It's hard to control when I spread my arms to operate the lever.

When operating the lever slowly, if you keep your elbows tucked in and imagine pushing with your whole body, the lever is less likely to suddenly spin rapidly.

With a few simple tips (on how to use your body), you'll improve faster.

 

He'll probably have a pretty good handle on double-pipe drilling by the end of this week.

Now it's just a matter of practicing a lot.

Since it's a job anyone can do with enough practice, it's just a matter of time before you reach the level of a veteran.

 

It was a day that really made me realize I need to further hone the skills I teach my subordinates.

I think from now on, I’ll be able to be both stricter and kinder.

 

See you later.

Go for it!
