Right where you are now,
When you share an idea or insight, you are teaching us something.
It could be your work, your music, your voice, your observations, or your writing.
You are a teacher, we are your students. You transform us as you share your experience.
In the Access Potential Academy, one way to look at what we are doing is that we are creating better teachers.
Through engaging in group project work, we are learning by observation and then pitching in.
Yet paradoxically, to be the teacher is to pitch in, so on the surface, we have a chicken and egg situation!
Do I first need to learn more first and get better? Maybe listen to what she has to say first? Or do I start to share now?
Sharing with a group (us!) – creates a positive peer pressure – yes, even if it’s only seen by one person.
This peer pressure means when you share, your ideas, work and projects will get better!
So, simply by waking up today and deciding to teach us something, you have chosen to level up.
For sure, to become a great coach, consultant, a great teacher, there’s this element of technical knowledge we need (I talk about working towards top 5%)..
But then there is this other world that only exists with the “exposure” – stumbling over words and concepts, articulating an idea, as we begin to teach with what we know.
We begin to express a point of view in front of others, in ways that can be understood and received.
In the Access Potential Academy, when we share our work in the Slack channel, we are taking a position.
We are teaching others what we know at that time, our thoughts and ideas.
Stepping up to this line as a form of teacher, regardless of where we think that we are at now, is a massive tool for growth.
This exposure is the catalyst for accelerating not just the teaching, but the learning. The front end.
Through sharing your fresh and new ideas with us – through teaching before you are ready, you accelerate your learning by default.
Learn more -> teach more. Teach more -> learn more. You’ve created an instant positive feedback loop for growth.
Now the question is do you need some love and support to get this thing rolling?
