| The inimitable Tim Gunn |
 |
| Mrs. B |
Say what you will about drama queens, prima donnas, and Heidi Klum, I really like Tim Gunn of Project Runway. The man knows design, and just as importantly, how to critique the fashion works set before him. I love the way he exudes personal warmth while illuminating potentially disastrous design decisions to contestants. Anyone can affirm good work or, conversely, rip it apart. It takes a superb teacher to ask just the right questions prompting a person to find the solution themselves. I need to get better at asking more questions, not giving answers. In the words of Mark van Doren, “The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." I need to channel Tim's teaching style more, and maybe I can improve my fashion sense as well.
