When was the last time you took a class?
The Challenge
Is there some skill you have been wanting to learn for your personal or professional growth? The process of continuing your education may be informal or formal, online or in person, mandated by your employer or embarked upon simply for the joy of learning. Whatever your reason and whatever form this learning might take, do some research into what resources are available to help you learn this skill. Is there a class offered at the nearby community college? An online course? A local expert you could contact?
Why do this?
Expand your skill set. In this rapidly changing world it's not uncommon to feel that your professional field has evolved past your original knowledge base. Taking a class is an excellent way to "catch up" with the most recent developments in your industry, and regularly adding a new skill to your toolkit keeps you from becoming stagnant.
This task is part of your long-term effort to stay abreast of changes in your workplace, industry, and the wider world. Learning a new skill or enhancing one you already have can be both personally and professionally rewarding.
What’s next?
Once you've identified a course you want to take, sign up! The new skill you achieve and the sense of accomplishment you gain may spur you to invest more of your time in educational activities.
