☀️ [Lunchtime note] Why not become a working professional teacher? A 'lunchtime where just articulating your experience changes how you teach'

You might already be a "teacher" yourself

That work you do as a matter of course today,
might actually be a "lesson" for someone else.

The "obvious" for a working professional is "amazing" for someone in the future.
Doesn't that make your heart beat a little faster when you think about it?

What is a "working professional teacher"?

Have you ever heard the term "working professional teacher"?

This is not limited to school teachers.
You, who gave advice to a junior colleague.
You, who talked about life to your children.
You, who stood by a subordinate's worries.

――Every single one of those moments is the very image of a teacher.

A working professional's "experience" becomes teaching material

After working as a news reporter, I now teach Japanese at a high school.
Standing in the classroom every day, I think:
"A working professional's experience is the best teaching material."

You don't need major achievements or qualifications.
Just put your own experience into words and hand it to someone.
That alone makes you a fine "working professional teacher."

Real "teachers" who actually existed

For example—
・A "communicating teacher" who can laugh while telling stories of failure
・A "human resources teacher" who spoke while holding back tears at the entrance ceremony
・A "father teacher" who reads books to his children
・A "nursing teacher" who conveys the weight of life through their actions
・A "re-learning teacher" who started writing about their experiences on note

Every one of these teachers pushed someone forward with their words.
That figure is, without a doubt, a "working professional teacher."

And you are one of them too

You, too, are a teacher.

Even if you haven't been introduced,
even if your name isn't in this article,
you who spoke to someone today are already a teacher.

You might think, "I didn't mean to be."
But the other person might have been saved by your words.
They might have gained the courage to take a step forward.
That one word is proof of "you as a teacher."

The words of teachers who shine on note

What I am introducing here are five "teachers" I met on note.

1. Narisawa = Questioning Power Master Teacher
'People aren't moved by systems. They are moved by "conviction."'

2. Kengo Shibata | Dam-style management teacher for stabilizing revenue
"How to deal with the need for approval"

3. Self-improvement sommelier, a teacher who moves people with words
"For example, why not try the First Chess Theory?"

4. Rie Aoki | Supporting effortless consistency! Teacher of customer attraction and consistency | R-labo+ organizer 📖 Continuing note for 1826 days! Teacher
"Now that child-rearing has settled down, it's time to organize what I want to do"

5. Tomoaki Suga | Note teacher who gains work hints from real-life experience
"Delivering warmth, not correctness. The image of a leader in today's era"

Your words, too, surely remain

Even if they aren't flashy words,
even if you don't have a special title,
there are moments when just a single word can push someone forward.

A single word spoken to a junior colleague.
A story of your own failure told to your child.
Advice based on experience shared with a coworker.

All of those are "a teacher's words."

To you, who hasn't been introduced yet

In this note, I will continue to introduce such "working professional teachers."

But, in truth—
it is "you," who hasn't been introduced yet, who is surely a teacher who will remain in someone's life.

Your experience will change someone's future.

You are the teacher.

Afterword

Thank you for reading this far.
I am sure you, too, are someone who has supported others with your words.

If these words today have left even a small impression on your heart,
I would be happy if we could exchange words here again.

Your experience and words
are pushing someone forward today, too.
