GRATITUDE CHALLENGE NUMBER 1 - I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY STUDENTS

By
Education & Training with Performance Development Strategies

I can say that I have had a career where I have enjoyed what I did.  I have enjoyed doing many interesting things during my many stops.  As a  Baby Boomer with lots of knowledge and experience and love mentor people who are newer in their HR careers.  I receive great satisfaction and reward from my role instructing HR at Fordham University.

Fordham UniversityI originally contacted Fordham to suggest that I could add a course in Human Resource Certification to their school.  My objective was to get my expertise out there and increase my consulting business.  The course is a review prep course for HR professionals to prepare to take the certification for the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP.

A wonderful thing has happened.  When you seek to give you get so much more back.  I am very grateful for the students (HR professionals) that I have come to know during 3 and 1/2 years there.

I stay fresh in the field because I am using the latest teaching information.  But the real gratitude is seeing the interest and appreciation from that next group of HR leaders.  When I am covering topics I always give my take and experience and add my context to the learning.  In polling my students I have been told that they feel fortunate to learn from my expertise.  Some usually say, how did you handle a situation like this one?

I have already seen where some have achieved new roles and promotions and come back to thank me and tell me about it.

I am very greatful that I have been an influence in my HR studeent's careers.

Hi Grant Schneider,

As a person who spent a whole other career in the staffing industry, I appreciate what you are doing by educating the next generation of HR people.  There is nothing like the gratification that comes from someone who really appreciates what you are doing for them. Kudos!

Hi Grant... teaching is something that provides so many rewards to the teacher... I don't teach, per se, but I do train from time to time... and it's at least as rewarding to me as it is to the people I train. And I do have a soft spot for Fordham, as I did my MBA there many, many, many years ago.

That is so true ... when you give without expecting anything in return, the return seems to multiply on it's own.  Sounds like you definitely love your job and that you are wonderful at it.  Love seeing these grateful posts for sure.
