☀️ [Noon note] Why not become a working professional teacher? "Someone who puts criteria for decision-making into words and passes them on"

You might already be a "teacher" too

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

A working professional's "common sense" is someone else's "amazing" in the future.
When you think about it that way, doesn't it 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 troubles.

—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 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.
With just that, you are already a fine "working professional teacher."

Real "teachers" who actually existed

For example—
・A "communicating teacher" who can laugh while telling stories of failure
・An "HR 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

You, too, are a teacher.

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

You might think, "I didn't mean to."
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 shining on note

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

1. Shin-an Juku Teacher
　"'The 7 Habits'—A book where you can find the words you need right now."

2. Kingston Co., Ltd. (A slightly unusual management accompaniment office) Teacher
"The moment when 'common sense' breaks"

3. Matsunosuke Yamaguchi | Sales Consultant & Organizational HR Consultant who energizes people and organizations | HR x Sales x AI + Love = Growth Strategy Teacher
"[Weekly] Message No. 20: Failure is not actually failure"

4. SONAEAREBA Teacher
"The front lines of urban disasters: How to prepare for linear precipitation zones, inland flooding, and extreme heat"

5. Paper Counselor Yoshiyuki Teacher
"Paper Counselor Yoshiyuki's Compass for 'How to Live' Vol. 152"

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 a single word can push someone forward.

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 that 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.
