It was a moment of brilliance. I was moderating an employee focus group about change , and during the discussion an educator in the group shared this Buddhist quote: “When the student is ready the teacher will appear.”. I could see the concept resonated with everyone. It was almost as if I was privy to a collective “ah-ha” moment.
