In this week’s vlog, “How Do We Stay Relevant in 2019?”, @lornerubis and I dive into the world of technology and offer you tips on how to remain relevant in an ever-changing marketplace.

Nowadays, organizations are constantly updating their technology, searching for better ways to increase collaboration and innovation among their staff. Employees and leaders both need to understand how that technology will affect their lives and their future as well as their work.

In a world that’s constantly transforming, we must ask ourselves: how can we stay ahead? No matter how old you are or where you are in your career, everyone can benefit from approaching learning as an exciting and necessary opportunity to upgrade your skills. Learning about technology is crucial to staying relevant.

Focus on incorporating healthy learning into your everyday routine. Developing new skills isn’t restricted to traditional “classroom” learning either – you can expand your knowledge by attending conferences, workshops, or reading magazines. With smartphones, learning is easier than ever; everything you need is right at your fingertips!

Don’t worry about becoming an expert in everything. Start building skills by looking into new things, then dialing into one or two that spark your interest.

Here are the three main takeaways from today’s episode:

  1. Plan to learn like you plan your budget – intentionally set aside resources to develop new skills.
  2. Work on understanding what’s going on in the world around you and select a few things you want to learn more about.
  3. Don’t wait; the time to start learning is NOW.

Here’s to disrupting sameness and achieving #betterwork.
