The presentation, given under the influence of acute heat-induced brain damage (reversible?) was an instructive experience. Let me briefly describe the setup, so if you ever find yourself in a similar situation you know what to expect: I was asked to give a presentation on teaching, without actually teaching a class. So far so good.
My problem was caused mainly by something I want to call "instinctual conflict" or "conflicting instincts". The presentation had all the elements of a performance or a lecture. That's what instinct number one said. And the rewarding aspect of lecture or performance is that I am always right. Until we leave the room, that is. Like sci-fi movies and politics they are ruled by a mandatory "suspense of disbelief". This, however, was also a job interview (instinct number 2 speaking). And as such it required modesty (jacket) and humility. And now that I think about it, I don't even know what to advise, should you ever find yourself in my place..... I guess it would be advantageous to research the clothing customs in the area. Other than that, it's probably best to listen to the master
