To Whom Much is Given

Over a period of three days I read the quote “To whom much is given, much is expected.” in three different books and magazine articles. I believe the quote is from the bible but please do not quote me on that. Every time I read the quote I reflected on a variety of issues including how it applies to educators and trainers in law enforcement, or any profession for that matter.

As trainers we are given much. You are given:

 

  • The opportunity to share your skills, knowledge and experience with others.
  • The power to influence behaviors and attitudes through the lessons you teach.
  • The ability to save lives through the training you deliver.
  • The ability to influence others through your example.
  • The opportunity to lead.
  • The opportunity to mentor.
  • The opportunity to do something you are passionate about.
  • Extra training.

With this comes great expectations:

 

  • The expectation of accountability.
  • The expectation that you will give the best you have every time you teach.
  • The expectation that you will prepare yourself and the material you will present.
  • The expectation that you will strive to continually improve your skills and knowledge.
  • The expectation that you will continually strive to have your students be the best they can be.
  • The expectation that you will set your ego aside and do what is best for your students.
  • The expectation that you will always focus on What’s Important Now.
  • The expectation that you will always be professional in your appearance and demeanor.

To whom much is given, much is expected. Eight words – one powerful message for all trainers.

Take care.
