One of the top skills you will need to be successful at work, both now and in the future, is the ability to learn new skills. How can you learn a new skill? We don't have the time funding to just go back to school and get a new degree. The trend nowadays is more towards informal learning constantly to stay relevant, because that degree you got way back when is no longer relevant. Many of the technical skills you acquire are out of date in as little as 2 years.

This episode is for you if:

• You want to learn a new skill, but you aren't sure where to start, or,
• you are thinking you need a lot of schooling or training to do it, so you aren't pursuing it, or
• you've tried learning a new skill, but it hasn't stuck with you, or its going slower than you hoped
