Everyday is an opportunity to learn. We no longer have to be enrolled in school to be an active learner. In today’s age of constant flows of ideas, how do we stay on top of all the new skills that we will need to be successful leaders? Here are some concrete steps you can take to enrich your knowledge and skill set: 1. Read a lot. “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to your body. It gives us the freedom to roam the expanse of space, time, history, and offer a deeper view of ideas, concepts, emotions, and bodies of knowledge.” 2. See learning as a process. “Learning is an investment that usually pays for itself in increased earnings.” Learning about the journey, not the destination. If you enjoy the process of learning, you’ll be adding new skills and knowledge to your repertoire everyday. 3. Teach others what you know. That’s one of the most effective ways to learn, remember, and recall new information. “Learners retain approximately 90% of what they learn when they explain/teach the concept to someone else, or use it immediately.” 4. Take care of your brain. We often overlook the importance of letting our brains rest. To maintain robust brain health, make sure you feed yourself leafy greens, whole grains and healthy proteins regularly. Take this week to let your body and brain rest and recharge. Medium.
