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.
