Today is World Teachers’ Day! Let’s celebrate with some stories about how teachers change lives. Here’s mine. 🙂
My Grandma Bea was one of my EARLIEST influences. She was a kindergarten teacher. And sometimes I got to go to school with her.
Even at 3 years old, I could see that Grandma Bea did MUCH more than just teach. She encouraged, supported, and EMPOWERED every one of her students. And watching Grandma Bea teach showed me something ESSENTIAL about life:
We are here to contribute to the well-being of others. And contributing to others is the key to success.
That’s true for you as a person, and it’s true for your organization. When you prioritize and contribute to the teams you build, the customers you serve, and the communities we all live in… your organization becomes more valuable and more valued by everyone it touches.
That opens up more opportunities to serve… and more opportunities to increase value for everyone in your orbit. And when you can do that, your organization is set to thrive over the long term.

And Gregorio, you know, there’s something that people may know about my background. Or if you don’t, let me tell you so, you can enjoy it yourself. I had a grandma named Grandma Bea and she taught kindergarten for 40 years. And when I was only three or four years old, because I was your grandchild, I got to go with her and watch her be the kindergarten teacher. And when you’re teaching kindergarten children, you’re not thinking about making money, and “What’s my profit margin?” What you’re concerned for is encouraging and supporting and empowering and enabling and loving all of these crazy little kids that are running around. And so, I really got very early on that this idea of education for the well-being of other people, yes, later on, it may turn to commercial, or it may turn like government or civil service or even military service. But what’s the purpose of really teaching other people? To contribute to one another’s well-being.
