Every one of us teaches each other to some degree in remote work. We do a lot of teamwork, create content, share tips and best practices, hold meetings, speak in different venues, etc. We must familiarize ourselves with new things often and learn those to master them and to be able to tell others about them.
I’m a teacher and I’ve taught and trained pupils and people a lot. I’ve experienced learning by teaching happening so many times. You need to research the teaching topic profoundly to become an expert and be able to teach it to others. When you start to teach the topic you find the things that need to be developed both in your teaching and the materials.
You learn along the way. You iterate constantly. You reflect and measure your actions to be able to make everything better. You need to have an ambitious mindset not to accept mediocrity but always seek the best. I don’t know about else but I’m that kind of person.
