Recently, I joined a university to teach part-time. I learned a lot but these are my highlights:
1. Teaching is Learning. Yes, I am teaching, but fundamentally, I am also learning. I get to refresh my knowledge of business theories that I apply to my business. My interaction with students gave me a fresh perspective on how their generation thinks and behaves.
2. Relationship is the Best Teacher. I observed that students lend their ears and focus more if you have a good relationship with them. They are more open and participative. The students engage more and are available to speak their minds.
3. Humbling Experience. My short time at the university taught me that I don’t know anything yet. Yes, I have a business, but I still have a lot of things to learn. Learning is and should be a lifelong journey.
Hopefully, each one of us will influence the next generation positively! #business #university #learning
