Why keep learning?
I’m a learning nerd. That might not be a surprising confession considering my role as Head of Education at Queensland Law Society and indeed may be considered a prerequisite for doing the job. I get a little thrill when I learn something new. After I watch a webinar or do an online course, I want to tell someone about what I’ve learnt – share the little nugget of knowledge or explain how I’m going to apply it in my life. This gives me a feeling of accomplishment and knowing I always have something more to learn helps me grow and move forward, both personally and professionally. While some of us are compelled to undertake continued learning by our employers or for professional regulatory compliance, there are usually other more personal and beneficial reasons that drive most of us to keep learning.
