You signed up to become a certified meditation teacher?

You signed up to become a certified meditation teacher?

And you don’t intend to become a teacher—why?

Meditation has made a significant impact on my life.

I’ve experienced,

Increased patience and tolerance,

Better focus on the present,

Greater self-awareness,

Reduced negative emotions,

And increased creativity.

Despite the benefits, my reason isn’t to share the knowledge with others as a certified teacher.

Recently, I felt like my meditation practice hit a wall.

I’ve wondered how I can rekindle and develop my practice.

After reflecting, I saw a parallel.

There was a turning point in my biz dev career.

It all started coming together when I started teaching it.

At first, it was blog articles to help clients.

Later it was training a biz dev team.

Intending to teach later, I looked at the content I was consuming differently.

I looked for what’s interesting, valuable, and worth teaching.

It forced me to think about how I would explain the concept.

It provided me real-time feedback.

Since biz dev was my job, this learning process organically unfolded.

However, meditation isn’t my career.

But I feel learning it as if it was might get me over that wall.

At this time, I have no plans to teach meditation formally.

But this path will deepen my practice.

It’s an investment in my long-term health and wellness.

What I learn will help me become a better version of myself.

A better me will improve relationships and make me a better leader.

Are you struggling to learn something new?

Or trying to overcome stalled progress?

Maybe you, too, would benefit from teaching to learn.
