HEY! Wait a minute, stopping learning has been an option?!?! Oh who am I kidding, I'm just a geek that can't get enough!

The PDI training is rather good, with a few so so ones here and there but nothings perfect!

@JKWinigerWell as you state nothing is perfect, but apparently we all need to adapt and adopt a "growth mindset" so that despite the challenges, rather than give up - we have to state I don't have those skills yet. But give me a little time, and I achieve them. Or one can adopt a fixed mindset and never achieve anything at all. The human mind according research indicates that in a "fixed mindset" it never changes, yet with a "growth mindset" the human creates new neurons and new pathways.

In time everyone, if they apply themselves will achieve the skills they strive for, we all learn in different ways, and at different rates.

Happy New Year and great success.

Learning and developing a growth Mindset:

First:

Skills and Intelligence are grown and developed
Concern is focused on learning and growing
Effort is necessary for learning
Mistakes are learning opportunities
Challenges are obstacles to be overcome

Then take action:

Recognise and monitor your own mindset
Share your mindset
Provide feedback for others growth
Strive for continuous team improvement

Hence keep learning on a daily basis, make time and effort to do this on a regular basis.

Well put and I totally agree!

I believe I can learn things from anyone, we all have had our own experiences, and in the same light can always teach others if they want to learn. I seem to use something I call relational learning in that most of what I learn I can relate to something I already know in some way. This way, I am not learning something from scratch but rather building on something I already know. The most important words I know are "Why" and "What if" and I think because of that I will always have a passion for learning and discovering the unknown.
