A Priest And A Taxi Driver Arrive At The Pearly Gates
St. Peter welcomes them and shows them to their homes.
For the taxi driver, a beautiful villa looking over a gorgeous field of clouds. “Thank you,” the ecstatic taxi driver said.
Anticipating an even bigger mansion, the priest was dismayed when they arrived at a small 1-bedroom apartment.
“St. Peter, I’m a little puzzled,” the priest began. “As a clergyman, I devoted decades of my life solely to serving the Lord. How come the taxi driver got a villa, and for me, only a small apartment?”
St. Peter smiled. “Up here, we go by results. While you preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed.”
From this story we can conclude on how the priest’s task didn’t obtain the expected results (that the believers prayed), while the irresponsibility of the taxi driver while driving obtained unexpected results.
If we make a parallel between this story and the teaching-learning processes in organizations: How do we replicate what we are transmitting? And how do we achieve the proposed results?
Do they “sleep” in your class? o Are you a hard trainer that your audience doesn’t even breathe?
When we talk about learning, the result we should try to achieve as trainers is the behaviors modification of the audience, learning itself seeks change. The mutual change that enables the learning construction, not only of the public that attends but also the trainer that transmits.
I invite you to reflect on your task as a trainer and on how you carry out the learning processes in your class: are you the priest or the taxi driver?
