Better Skills, Better Businesses
无论是在其他领域，还是在财会领域，只有构建自己的知识体系，才能抵抗住知识快速更新迭代的浪潮。
CIMA教会我们的不只是它的严谨和缜密的知识体系，教会的更是站在更高的层面上的思维逻辑和方法，让我们独立思考，构建自己的思维模式，从而重新认知世界、工作、人群，并采取行动。
而只有当我们建立形成自己的知识体系，才能知道自己要的是什么，才能不疲于奔命地低效学习，而是留住宝贵的时间和精力用于挖掘自己的潜能。
自2016年CIMA高级经理人项目开班以来，Dave便作为CIMA管理级的讲师陪伴大家，他丰富的案例教学经验，深入浅出的教学风格使管理级通过率也是节节攀升。在教师节之际，让我们走近这位可爱的英国老师，听他分享他教学生涯和个人生活的趣事。

你理想的工作是什么？为什么选择成为管理会计的讲师？
我的理想工作是成为英国国会议员，在政界有所作为。希望有一天能实现这个梦想，但是就目前而言，我非常开心能做一名讲师！当我成为一名会计师的时候，我发现这个工作的回报并不是很可观，但我觉得这个工作很多样且有意思，所以并没有觉得有挑战。所以很早我就决定完成资格候审之后开始踏入教书的职业生涯，教书这么多年以来一直未后悔当初的决定。
你是什么时候获得CIMA证书的，感觉难吗拿到这个证书，你怎么看待这个证书？
不得不说获得CIMA证书以及为拿到证书所付出的所有努力真的是我做过的最有挑战的事情。获取任何一个职业资格证书的确需要100%的付出和努力。话虽如此，我还是非常享受学习并获得新知识的过程，当我结束这段学习旅程的时候，我是真心很怀念。我喜欢挑战，并享受职业考试带来的压力。事实证明，CIMA对我是无价之宝。我来自工薪阶层，CIMA的证书让我有机会走遍世界去体验和探索我从未想过的局面。我对教育事业充满热情，非常享受教学工作和帮助学生去发现他们的潜力。教育不是属于特权阶层的，我发现对于出身贫寒的学生来讲，教育带来的价值尤其巨大，使他们能够从职业资质中受益匪浅。
除了在英国教学，你也在迪拜和中国教学，这三个不同文化的学生有何不同？能否给我们分享一些在你教学生涯中的趣事？
文化方面的差异真的非常有趣，我发现我的英国学生很擅长解决问题，并能够给企业界正面临的挑战给予务实的解决方案，但是他们在学术方面就相对较差或者不太勤奋。另一方面，我的中国学生在学术方面很厉害，而且非常勤奋，但是有时让他们运用自己的想法去解决实际问题的时候就比较痛苦一点，所以英国学生和中国学生是正好相反的。我觉得最有趣的是，尽管文化不同，但是相同还是大于不同的地方，例如，我在中国课堂和英国课堂上说的同一个笑话，中国学生和英国学生都能发现同样的笑点，哈哈！
中国的学员对你的课程评价很高并受益匪浅，他们很好奇你是怎么做到在如此短的时间内把预览材料分析到位的，毕竟每次的案例都涉及不同的行业？
这的确需要下很多功夫！我教案例考试很长时间了，所以知道应该关注什么内容，知道考官想考什么，我每次都是把案例中虚构的公司与现实生活中的公司相关联，这将有助于我更好的理解公司的业务和它所在的行业。
临近考试的时候，学员总是会比较焦虑，能否给他们一些备考和放松的小建议？
我的建议就是要在备考阶段用心复习，不要等到最后一刻才来抓紧复习。我以前的经验是每晚3小时的复习，从晚上6点到9点，然后停下来去做一些别的事情，同时周末我也会给自己放一天假。备考很重要，但是不要让备考完全占据你的生活，抽一些时间去见见朋友，留一些时间给自己的兴趣爱好。一个生活学习两不误的学员会比一个被备考占据所有生活的学员取得更大成功。
现在我们聊一聊你的兴趣爱好，除了管理会计，你在平时都喜欢干点啥？
我喜欢和朋友们在一起，我经常去迪斯科。我家里有一艘小船，我喜欢跟家人一起去玩帆船运动。这样可以使我在短时间里清空杂念，让头脑变得清醒。我哥哥有一个7岁大的小女儿，我喜欢带着她出去玩。

以下为英文原稿：
What’s your dream job? Why you chose to be a management accounting tutor?
My dream job would be a Member of Parliament in the UK, and to have a career in politics. Hopefully, one day this dream will come true but for now I am happy being a tutor! When I qualified as an accountant, I did not really find the work particularly rewarding. It was varied, and interesting, but I did not feel challenged. So I decided very early post-qualified to go into teaching. Something which I do not regret.
When do you get your CIMA qualification, do you feel difficult to get it, how you evaluate this qualification?
The CIMA qualification, and studying towards it, was the toughest thing I have ever done. Studying for any professional qualification is exceptionally hard work and requires 100% commitment. Having said that, I very much enjoyed studying and learning new things and, when I did finally finish, I found I really missed studying. I liked the challenge, and the pressure of professional exams. CIMA has proved invaluable to me. I am from a working class background, and having the CIMA qualification has taken me all over the world and exposed me to situations far beyond what I was expecting. I am passionate about education, and I enjoy teaching students and helping them realize their true potential. Education should not be something that only the privileged can access, and I find it exceptional rewarding when students from poorer backgrounds qualify and get to enjoy the benefits that having a professional qualification can bring.
Apart from Britain, you have also taught in Dubai and China, what’s the main difference about delegates from this 3 different cultures? And would you please share with us some interesting thing in your teaching career?
The cultural differences are really interesting. I find my UK students are very good at problem solving, and being able to suggest practical solutions to the challenges the business community face. However, they are certainly not the most academic! Or indeed, the hardest working! On the other hand, my Chinese students are very academically capable, and their hard work is inspiring. However, they sometimes struggle to apply their ideas to real life situations. In that respect, my UK and Chinese students are the opposite of each other! What I have found most interesting though, is that despite huge cultural differences, there is more that unites us than divides us. For example, my Chinese students will laugh at my little jokes in exactly the same way that my UK students do!
Our Chinese delegates speak highly of your course and benefit a lot from it, they are curious about how can you get pre-seen properly analyzed in such a short time as each time it has different industry background?
It does require a lot of hard work! I have been teaching Case Study exams for a long time, so I know what to look for and what the examiners are thinking. I always try to relate the fictitious company to a real-life company, and I find that helps to be able to understand the business (and it’s industry) more.
As you know delegates are always getting anxious when exam date is approaching, do you have any tips for them to be well prepared for exam and be relaxing?
My advice is to approach studying diligently, and not to leave it to the last minute is always the key to success. I used to do three hours each evening – from 6pm until 9pm – and then I would stop and do something completely different. I always gave myself one day off at the weekend too. Preparing for exams is important, but don’t let it take over your life. Make time to see your friends, and to spend time enjoying your hobbies. A well balanced student is always more successful than someone who lets professional exams take over their life!
Now let’s talk about your hobbies, apart from management accounting, what do you like to do at spare time?
I enjoy socializing with my friends, which means I very often go to the disco. My family own a small boat, so I like to get away with them sailing. I find it clears my mind perfectly, and refreshes me in a fairly short space of time. My brother has a 7 year old daughter, so I love spending time with her and taking her on days out.
