Training and professional development often get short shrift at companies these days.
I’ve been fortunate to work at organizations where training was not only a goal, but also a reality. I went to workshops, conferences and lectures, and I forced my staffers to do so as well.
(“Forced” is the right word. Some were so dedicated to the daily grind, they would miss the bigger picture: Taking time to learn, grow and breathe away from their regular duties.)
I asked them to absorb everything, and to share it with us when they returned. A great method to retain knowledge is to teach others what you just learned.
And before the year ended, I made sure to use up all of our training budget (I know, I sound like I’m from an another era), though I didn’t have a lot of options with a few weeks left.
You might need some brushing up. Or you might want to learn some tricks that will help make your job easier. You might have a new intern or colleague or boss who needs a patient, tireless instructor in visual content marketing or metrics that matter. (Hint: You will always have new interns, colleagues and bosses.) Perhaps you simply want peers to understand what you’re trying to accomplish as a content aggregator or a tech startup PR disaster recovery specialist.
