In The Path Of Learning

Put yourself in the path of learning!

We often equate learning with the formal opportunities of education, training and the like. Yet learning is a life-long, everyday happening.

When we choose to take on a course of formal study, we are choosing to acquire the new skills or knowledge specific to the area.

When we choose to go through our days with curiosity, remaining open, interested and engaged within all aspects of our work and lives, we’ll find ourselves in the path of many a learning opportunity.

This week I chose to engage with the Great Aussie Bird Count, a citizen science project to observe the birds in our local neighbourhood and I have learned something new and interesting about the birds I see all the time.

Being a lifelong learner is a valuable workplace skill and the fun thing is that we can choose to practice everyday.

I’m curious, how might you put yourself in the path of everyday learning?
