A Thanksgiving Post for 101 Teachers in My Life
I enjoy making lists.
The list I want to reveal to you this Thanksgiving Day is my Gratitude List of 101 Teachers who have influenced my life and reminded me of the importance of being a lifelong learner.
This partial list is alphabetized by first name. Many of my Teachers are still living and some have passed on.
I consider this a “partial” Gratitude List because I’m absolutely certain that I’ve overlooked lots of people who have had deep influences on my personal and professional life. Forgive me if you are one of those people.
If you’ve taught me something, but don’t see your name on the list, again please forgive my oversight and help me complete my list by commenting & sharing what you feel you’ve taught me.
Sound fair enough?
My purpose in sharing my 101 Teachers list is for you to create your own. I encourage you to make a list of your Teachers and share it publicly as a declaration … just like I did.
The simple act of writing the names and what you’ve learned will put a smile on your face and make you feel great.

As a trainer and teacher, I feel the most validated if one of my students unexpectedly shows their appreciation by verbally acknowledging the time and effort I put into designing the tele-curriculum.
How and why they show their validation is important to me, but when the validator is specific about what they appreciate about my training, it makes me feel even better.
