☀️ [Noon note] Why not become a working professional teacher? "Your daily 'interactions' can become someone's learning"

You might already be a "teacher" yourself

The work you are doing normally today,
might actually become a "lesson" for someone.

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 worries.

--Each 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 "storytelling teacher" who can laugh while talking about their failures
・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 back
・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 are also 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."
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 5 "teachers" I met on note.

1. Teinen no Otchan-neru (Retirement Old Guy Channel) Teacher
　"I am very grateful that influencers are talking about Japan's strengths!"

2. Chiemi Noji
"Emotions have 'intensity,' 'duration,' and 'shades'"

3. Hiroaki Takahashi | Learning Output Specialist
"How to raise children to turn their 'likes' into lifelong 'strengths'"

4. Self-Development Sommelier, Teacher who moves with words
"For example, why not try out the reasons why quitting overtime can make you happier?"

5. Noriko Fujisawa
"The meaning of being born: Life is like a dandelion seed"

Your words, too, are surely leaving a mark

Even without flashy words,
even without 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 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 leave a mark on someone's life.

Your experience will change someone's future.

You are the teacher.

Afterword

Thank you for reading this far.
I am sure that 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.
