Learning Should Be a Daily Practice
No matter what industry you’re in or how long you’ve been in it, the ability to learn is an essential skill. But it’s not as simple as acquiring knowledge. It’s a regular practice of trying out new things and seeing the world in new ways.
So conduct experiments as part of your daily work, whether it’s using a new productivity tool or trying out a new approach to meetings. Keep a log where you track the experiments you’re running and reflect on what you’re learning along the way. You might also look for opportunities to learn from others.
Set a goal of having one "curiosity coffee" each month, virtually or in person, with someone you haven’t met before. This might be someone in a different department who will help you view your organization through a new lens or someone in your profession at another company who could broaden your knowledge. You can also make learning a team activity. Try a weekly or monthly skills swap, where people can share a skill they’re happy to help others learn. This tip is adapted from
