People are looking for more guidance and leadership than ever — on how to act, what to read, who to follow and what to believe… A “practice what you preach” approach to learning isn’t always easy, but it can be very impactful

Takeaways of Note:
1. Change your mindset – we’re all learning… what was learned from every experience, what went well or not
2. Use different language – future-forward & positive approach… discuss how team can proactively apply learnings to next steps or future work
3. Give away power – allow others with relevant expertise to respond… may not be your answer; the goal is learning, not perfection
4. Build it in – reduce stress & normalize talking about learnings with team… prompt everyone to share recent learnings
5. Walk the talk – Attend team trainings, be engaged & ask questions; put money where talk is… set aside time & monies to support learning
6. Learn for life – “Don’t set out to be an interesting person, but an interested one“… model continuous learning & lead by example
