"When One Teaches, Two Learn"

While formal certification or accreditation brings us to the classroom as teachers, I'm a firm believer that the more we know, the more we can share. Even though ongoing education helps guide our techniques, for me the most meaningful lessons come through lived experience - mine and those I've had the privilege to share space with, whether as a student and instructor. Perhaps that why this quote by Robert Heinlein resonates so deeply. It grounds me. While each of our paths is unique, it's the shared moments of presence and purpose that gives it meaning.
