Our focus on technology can make improvement appear to be impossible. The industry is moving at an incredible pace so keeping up is hard enough. Thus, getting head is too much to ask.

The challenge in growing our skills is to stay current in our existing skills while still learning new things. When we are intentional about our growth, these two factors can be addressed as one.

In this episode, we look at how to plan out our learning and build on our skills every day. When this approach is followed, a skillset can grow to an impressive size in a matter of a few years rather than decades.
