Teachable: A willingness and capacity to learn

Willingness to learn from others + using mistakes and feedback as opportunities to grow = teachable

A teachable person is more than intelligent; they are humble and willing to learn from others. They are receptive to instruction and have a thirst for knowledge and growth. They receive information and correction with an eager and motivated spirit, and they approach every situation as an opportunity to learn.

Teachability requires:

  • A HUNGER FOR WISDOM – Teachable people have a desire to learn daily.
  • RESTRAINT – An open mind and a closed mouth promote learning.
  • APPLICATION – Teachable people are quick to apply what they have learned
