It's a bittersweet experience seeing my students graduate.
I get so much joy out of watching them grow, hearing about their experiences and witnessing the learning that takes place, yet there is a little bit of sadness as I finish their final assessment, send their congratulations email and organise their certificate to be sent out. These things are done with so much joy and excitement but the sadness of something ending is there too.
I know that they are off to start their new career or to add to their existing business. That they will make an impact and change peoples lives with the work that they will do. And this is the reason that I started the academy, for the larger ripple effect. Knowing that each student that comes into the academy has the opportunity to impact the lives of many. That I am part of something bigger than me and the work that I do in my coaching business. I can see the flow on effect that comes with teaching others to support others. But I still get a little sad that I don't get to witness so closely the changes that come after graduation.
This role and opportunity gives me so much fulfilment so I will take a little sadness as each student moves onto their next step in impacting the lives of others. And sometimes I am lucky enough to see the students come back to further their studies so they can provide deeper support and change.
So today I acknowledge the three new meditation teachers that are entering the world and ask you to congratulation them as well.
