☀️ [Noon note] Why not become a working professional teacher? "Sharing insights changes the field—the moment you become a working professional teacher"

You might already be a "teacher" yourself

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

A working professional's "ordinary" is someone else's future "amazing."
Doesn't that make your heart beat a little faster?

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 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 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 talking about failure stories
・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 undoubtedly a "working professional teacher."

And you are one of them too

You are a teacher, too.

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. Teacher Yang Wen-li [Follow back 100%]
"Want to change but can't move? Psychology and practical methods to break through inner conflict"

2. 422 yasu-sensei
"A story about how you kept searching for 'what you want to do' and just ended up returning to 'being'"

3. Shiro Koizumi🎈 | Professional Engineer (Construction/General Management) x Self-Care x Researcher-sensei
"What effects does stress have on the brain? A neuroscience approach to protecting mental health [The secret to health learned from neuroscience]"

4. Rie Aoki | Supporting effortless consistency! Teacher of customer attraction and consistency | R-labo organizer 📖 1867 days of continuous note posting! sensei
"Say goodbye to weeks that start with 'I have to.' Creating a system that starts with not doing"

5. April Sakura-sensei
"Learning from Japan's first internal newsletter: 'The power to convey people'"

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 encourage someone.

A single word spoken to a junior colleague.
A story of your own failure told to a child.
Advice based on experience given to 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 a 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 encouraging someone today as well.
