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.
- You can 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.
Have fun while also evolving yourself, and your team!
