Crappy to Happy

Why It's Essential You Learn Something New (especially if you think you're an expert)


Listen Later

As adults, we don't often put ourselves in the position of being a novice. In this episode, I'm sharing why I've gone back to basics in my professional life, and the uncomfortable truth that despite years of experience, stepping back into a learner's role can trigger our ego by forcing us to confront our poor practices. Through my experiences, I highlight the importance of intellectual humility and the courage to unlearn old patterns in order to grow and stay relevant. Embracing the discomfort of being a beginner not only supports personal growth, mental agility and psychological flexibility but it enhances our cognitive abilities and keeps our passion for learning alive. I also share an incredible study highlighting the impact on our cognitive wellbeing from continuing to learn new skills as we age.Takeaways:
  • Embracing the beginner's mindset is essential for continuous growth in our professional lives.
  • Experiencing discomfort when learning new skills can lead to significant personal and professional development.
  • Our ego often hinders us from acknowledging our need to learn and grow, especially as experts.
  • Humility in accepting feedback and criticism is crucial for maintaining relevance in our careers.
