Mission drive is the passion you feel when you make a true connection with the mission. It opens you up to new possibilities for making an impact as a trainer. It pushes you to step out of your comfort zone and do hard things. Mission drive is the key to breaking through the fear of change and building the discipline to master your craft and deliver a legendary virtual learning experience.

Without mission drive, you cannot and will not be an effective instructor and educator. You won't make an impact—and you won't be happy.

You may go through the motions, but the people you teach will see right through your façade. Without mission drive, you'll treat your learners like part of a transaction, and they'll respond in kind. They'll sit there for the required amount of time so you can talk at them for the required amount of time. They'll get a certificate of completion and you'll get paid for your time—and everyone will walk away feeling empty.

You may be able to get away with going through the motions and faking your passion in a physical classroom, but you will not in a virtual classroom. Your enthusiasm, focus, and passion for teaching are under a microscope in the virtual classroom. When you are not fully engaged, there's no hiding it. Learners know when you are not into it, and they check out. In the virtual classroom, without mission drive, you will fail.
