Leadership and Business Roadmap – October 2023
“IF KNOWLEDGE IS A POWER, THEN LEARNING IS A SUPERPOWER.”
WELCOME TO October!
With its crisp autumn air and vibrant colors, October ushers in a season of transformation not only in nature but also in the realm of personal and professional growth. Recognized globally as Learning and Development Month, October is the perfect time to foster a mindset of continuous improvement and self-discovery. This month-long celebration is an opportunity to embrace the spirit of lifelong learning, encouraging individuals and organizations to invest in their intellectual and professional development. Whether it's acquiring a new skill, expanding our knowledge base, or honing existing talents, October encourages us to take deliberate steps toward self-improvement and lifelong learning. This could involve registering for an online course (see Skillsoft's course catalog), attending workshops, or seeking mentorship opportunities. The idea is to challenge ourselves to grow.
For companies, October serves as a reminder to invest in the growth and development of their employees. Creating a culture that prioritizes learning not only enhances employee satisfaction but also contributes to the overall success of the organization. This could involve hosting training sessions, providing resources for skill development, and recognizing and rewarding employees who actively engage in their own learning journey.
Skillsoft's Global Head of Content for the Leadership and Business portfolio, Anju Choudhary has some outstanding tips for building a culture that embraces learning that she shares in her recent blog post, How to Build a Vibrant Learning Culture in Your Organization.
So, seize the moment, cultivate a mindset of curiosity, and embark on a journey of continuous learning that will enrich your life in more ways than you can imagine. Happy Learning and Development Month! Be sure to check out this month's OFF THE SHELF bookshelf for Learning and Development Month.
