If you’re a teacher or team leader then you will want to watch today’s tip on how you can find your own teachers in life while you’re teaching or leading others.

Among the many activities that Hamilton Island offers, such as SUP, yachting, swimming, hiking, diving and golf – just to name a few – it also offers fantastic art classes.

It was here in an art class with a teacher named Trevor that I painted my first sea turtle!

Being an arty person it was one of the highlights of my trip but not just because I like to paint!

This teacher was exceptional because he had two outstanding qualities I think make a great teacher, trainer or leader.

1. In just 3 hours he took us from a place we knew we were already at to a place we didn’t think possible!

And this had us jumping for joy!

I tell you, when he asked us to look around the room for inspiration and select what we wanted to paint…

I chose an example from a professional artist, a sea turtle! Now I know I have a few skills in drawing and painting but it’s certainly not my number one thing.

I had NO IDEA how I was going to get that lovely looking sea turtle onto my blank canvas…

But with his help I did! And this didn’t only happen to me, my friends in the class also had the exact same experience.

So when you’re teaching or leading others, strive to take your students or team members to a place they didn’t think possible. As this ignites a new found confidence, happiness and energy within them to believe that anything is possible!

2. Trevor was also humble, in that he demonstrated that even though he is an extremely talented painter and an expert teacher all his life, he is always learning too.

In the class Trevor shared a story from just the day before, where a little 6 year old girl started painting in a way he had never seen before. Immediately he taught us that technique and thus expanded upon his own skills.

Our teachers can sometimes show up in the most unlikely places, however so often when its you who is teaching, its also you who can be the one who learns something very profound.

Are you a teacher or team leader? What interesting lessons in life have you learnt while teaching or leading your team?

Please leave a comment I would love to hear from you!

Check out today’s video and read below for my 3 top tips on how to love your work!

1. APPRECIATE YOUR JOB – even if you don’t love it!

How would you feel tomorrow if it was no longer there for you? How would it impact your life? How would in affect your family? We just never know what will happen tomorrow. But, what we do know is if you don’t appreciate what you already have, the universe doesn’t help you by giving you something better… it usually takes what you currently have away!

2. LISTEN TO FEEDBACK.

What is your boss or coach saying to you? Are there areas of improvement? This is your ideal chance to work on and improve yourself in regards to your skills and expertise right now where you are. This will also help you enjoy going to work a little bit more tomorrow when you have something specific to challenge yourself with.

3. DO YOUR BEST.

Even if you’re currently in a job that you don’t really love – do your best! This will not only make you feel good about yourself but you also won’t be left with regrets if your job wasn’t there tomorrow.

AND HERE IS ONE OF MY BIGGEST CAREER TIPS EVER!!!

You just never know who is watching you. Perhaps another senior manager, client or colleague could see how you work and offer you an amazing opportunity. If you’re at work showing up any less than your best self… do you think they will want it give it to you? No! So get to work and be your best self, you just never know where or from who your next best career opportunity will come from.

Life-changer read!

By Ms. T. Stuart on December 16, 2013

“From the moment you open this novel about a career girl, you won’t put it down. Victoria is an ambitious young lawyer, keen to advance fast in her career. Will she make the right choices? The story unfolds brilliantly, with many exciting twists. But more than her story, it’s your own personal and professional journey that you reflect on as you read. I found myself laying it down and thinking how to apply the lessons in my own life. Go on, treat yourself (or your best mate too)!”

The book to get you thinking and doing!

By Belinda Lockerby on December 17, 2013

“If you are looking for a book to help you, but don’t want to read a self help book, then this is the one for you. Get ready for some realisations that come at you in a very gentle yet assertive way as you relate to Victoria Rose in a very real way that moves you to action.

A great, easy read, I was unable to put it down, and then once finished, found myself putting some steps into action (and I still am!)”

Fantastic book!

By Nathalie on December 18, 2013

“Inspirational, fun and easy to read. This contemporary fable demonstrates that sometimes when things don’t go the way we want, there is always a solution and that we shouldn’t be afraid to ask and receive help. You can use the steps demonstrated in The SHINE Technique to help you in your career, to become empowered and to embrace life! We can all become a successful Victoria Rose.”

Thanks again and I hope you have a fantastic day!
