Teaching Whether you Like it Or Not
I’ve mentioned before that I didn’t want to teach at many points in my life, but now not only have I realized that I enjoy teaching, but more in non-traditional elements, like speaking opportunities, and one-on-one guidance. Now I need to add to this that everyone is a teacher whether they intend to be or whether they’re a good one or not.
You see, there is always someone watching you, whether its the person behind you in line seeing if your polite the the cashier, and learning about how others engage, or its a sibling or cousin that sees you as a great example in their life, or sees you as getting cool opportunities, or maybe its your Instagram follower that you don’t know but seems to enjoy your content.
That said, you have to be careful of what you represent, whether it’s your personal brand, the company you work for, an organization that you are affiliated with, or even your religious beliefs.
Make standards for yourself, and stay true to them. That and be a teacher of what to do.
