Strange and unprecedented times have befallen each and every one of us, no matter the profession or trade. And in this midst of turmoil and confusion, many of us go to bed at night thinking, what the future has to offer us, and how do we survive in the coming months, years maybe.
I definitely do not have an absolute answer to the questions you might have, but I do in fact, have something that I would love to share with everyone. Something that might lead you to those answers you seek. To stay afloat and relevant no matter how these tides crash onto the ships we are on. Enter Learning and Development.
Learning in itself is something we do every single day of our lives. Just like how we were struggling to ride the bicycle for the very first time when we were young, to the pain of heartbreak as teenagers. Till this day, we learn new things about our co-workers that we didn’t know yesterday. But just like getting back up after falling off the bicycle with bruises on our elbows and knees, we strive to evolve and hone our claws to become the amazing professionals we are today.
Thus, with that said, learning and developing ourselves as well as those in our organization is vital in today’s context, more so with the evolution of the digital world and integration of AI in our industry. Here are 3 articles that can help us further enhance our skills and experience as we go through turbulent times.
