What Do You Have To Teach?

Think of all the teachers you have had in your life – those that held the title of teacher, boss or parent and those that held no title at all. As children we had many formal teachers, yet some of the more impressive life lessons we learned probably came from our peers. Who taught you how to be a friend? Who taught you how not to be a friend? Where did you learn what music to listen to or how to dress as a teenager – going out on a limb here, I am going to guess it wasn’t your parents! Who taught you how to treat your employees? Did you learn more from your best boss or your worst in terms of motivating those around you? What lessons have you learned from your significant other? As a take charge person I have relied on my hubby to teach me to enjoy each moment in life instead of rushing onto the next project. My children have taught me many lessons over the years and a few of the most important have been to take care of myself so I have energy to take care of them, to be supportive instead of being judgmental, to give others the space to find their own answers and how to love unconditionally.
