5 Jobs That Involve Teaching Skills

Whether you want to spend your time in teaching in a traditional setting, or you take the attitude that the world is just one big outdoor classroom, there are plenty of jobs that have teaching in them in some sort or another.

1. Management

If you manage a team of people you will often need to provide them with information on how to do their job better, and often how to develop in terms of maturity as well. It doesn't really matter what type of team you are managing they are common themes for almost all teams. If you're not doing that then your team is unlikely to improve and you probably won't be manager for terribly long.

2. Selling

A major part of selling is ensuring that your prospect is able to respond in kind to your questions and understands what the advantages are of buying from you. This can range from the relatively straightforward job of passing on product or service information to the client through to ensuring that they have enough industry information to make their job relevant as buyers can often be ignorant of what they want.

This can range from telling someone what is available to them when they are buying something as everyday as a pair of shoes through to selling a complex business solution that doesn't necessarily have immediately apparent value.

3. Teaching

Of course teaching employs many of the skills involved in teaching, whether you be explain the alphabet to some very young children or telling a group of adults about how they can learn a new language or some business-specific skills. Crucially teaching involves a lot skills that are immediately transferable into a number of other roles, and this is why a lot of people come out of the private sector in mid-life to start in this profession and do very well at it.

4. Coaching

It's very difficult to coach someone unless they have a similar level of knowledge of what they are supposed to be doing as their coach, and therefore it is often necessary for a coach to educate his charges before actually coaching them. For example, a business coach may need to explain to a client what options are available to them to market themselves before deciding what is the best way forward.

5. Fabric Architecture

Explaining the benefits of fabric architecture to a client can often mean you are educating someone who doesn't really know terribly much about the subject. Other than being incredibly durable, fabric structures are also a great way to block out the shade and can be much cheaper than traditional architecture.
