Most Likely to Become a Teacher
Manage episode 182568415 series 1261350
When I graduated high school I was voted Most Likely to Become a Teacher. Back then it seemed like a bad prediction. I was bound for business school and focused on becoming an entrepreneur and a retailer. It took me years to realize that the most beloved retailers (of all sizes) are just that—teachers.
In this week’s episode I share how my skills as a teacher and as a retailer are interdependent. Have a listen as I speak to the teacher inside you.
Summary of Field Notes:
- Early leadership roles that shaped my critical thinking, public speaking, and advocacy skills
- Teaching microentrepreneurship as a college student and returning to classroom teaching 20 years later
- Retailers, Makers, and Merchants impart knowledge and shape behavior, even when they don’t realize it
- Valuable teacher tips for your own team, to help you with hiring, training, and retaining top retail talent
