Teaching
is more than just sharing knowledge; it’s a gift that connects, empowers, and
transforms both the teacher and the learner. The act of teaching is an
expression of generosity, a celebration of growth, and a pathway to purpose. It
allows you to turn your unique journey into a beacon of light for others,
offering solutions and sparking change.
As
Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you
can use to change the world." And as Maya Angelou reminds us, "When
you learn, teach. When you get, give." These words resonate with those
who find joy in teaching, as they encapsulate the intrinsic rewards of sharing
what you know.
Teaching
is a gift that keeps on giving. It’s not just about disseminating information
but about fostering a connection with your audience. Every experience you’ve
had, every lesson you’ve learned, and every skill you’ve mastered is a treasure
that holds the power to uplift someone else. When you teach, you provide others
with tools to solve their problems, accomplish their goals, and navigate life
more effectively.
Every
Profession Has a Teaching Component
The
truth is, every profession has a teaching component. So even though you may not
see yourself as a teacher, in actuality, you are. Whether you’re a doctor
explaining treatment options, a chef sharing recipes, a manager training a
team, or a parent raising a child, teaching is at the heart of what you do. By
sharing your expertise and experiences, you empower others to grow and succeed.
Teaching is not limited to classrooms; it happens in boardrooms, kitchens,
hospitals, and homes. When you embrace this truth, you unlock the potential to
make an even greater impact in your profession and beyond.
Do
you remember having a favorite teacher? What made them your favorite? Was it
the way they taught, the topic, or the passion they exuded? Did they seem to
enjoy what they were doing? For me, my favorite teachers were my psychology
instructors, which is probably one of the reasons I ended up majoring in
psychology. They knew their stuff. They brought the material to life,
connecting theories to real-world applications and making every lesson
engaging. Their enthusiasm for the subject was contagious, and their dedication
to teaching left a lasting impression on me.
But
not all teaching happens in a classroom setting. Others, such as my parents,
aunts and uncles, church members, Sunday school teachers, and youth sponsors,
taught me valuable lessons. We must not forget the books we read, the sermons
we heard, or even the documentaries we watched that shaped our perspectives.
These moments of informal teaching remind us that impactful lessons can come
from anywhere and anyone.
Reflecting
on your own favorite teacher can be a reminder of the impact great teaching has
on shaping lives and inspiring futures. It’s a testament to the power of
sharing knowledge with passion and purpose.
I
remember in high school when several of my friends decided to major in
education. I had no desire to become a teacher. Little did I know that although
I didn’t want to become a teacher, I was called to teach what I know. No wonder
I ended up teaching through my books, coaching programs, blogs, and even social
media posts. It is by God’s design that I eventually became a teacher of
teachers in my career as a Director of Learning and Development.
This
journey taught me that what you are meant to do will always find you. Teaching
is not confined to formal education—it’s about sharing the unique knowledge and
wisdom you’ve gained to make a difference in someone else’s life. I encourage
you to reflect on how teaching plays a role in what you do and how it enables
you to give back to others.
The
Joy of Being a Lifelong Learner
Being
a learner, I try to learn something new each day. Sometimes, I am so excited
about what I’ve learned that I want to share it with someone else—especially
someone I know who needs to hear about it. Has this ever happened to you? It’s
the joy of having knowledge that can benefit others. That’s why I love being a
catalyst through Pearls Perfected Institute to help experts teach what they know so
others can grow. The joy of teaching isn’t just in the act itself—it’s in
witnessing the transformation it brings to the lives of others.
