Community Learning

One of the best ways to learn, is from others and their experiences. Whether the community you want to reach out to is online or physical, there is lots to be learnt.

Online

LinkedIn is a great networking tool as well as a great learning tool. Not only does it offer career/professional development videos and tutorials, but also the opportunity to connect to anyone around the world.

Consider reaching out to someone whose work appeals to you - schedule a coffee chat!

Physical

Check out your local community centre for courses, seminars or simply people to talk to. Seize the opportunity to learn from those around you.

Leverage your professional networks, your family and your friends. People around us have varying expertise and can always teach us something new - we just have to ask and try.
