Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
A friend of mine was considering some speaking engagement opportunities to teach potential business prospects about his consulting niche. But my friend rarely teaches publicly, and when he does, unfortunately, he struggles to hold people’s attention.
Many professionals build their business by writing books and teaching to generate leads. But not all people are gifted teachers.
Some people speak without thinking, later regretting their words. Others just aren’t comfortable engaging publicly with a crowd.
James 3:1 says, “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.”
Teaching can be a great business strategy, but it’s not for everyone. Pray and be sure God wants you to be a teacher before doing something that may bring judgment later.
