Productivity Coach’s Corner: Cultivate a Community of Continuous Learners

Proactively design an approach that values adaptation, enthusiasm, and purposeful action.

Let’s enter the spring, redefine development, and position ourselves to create a learning community. Advocating for a community approach to professional development transforms essential skill acquisition into meaningful growth.

As you lead or participate in this charge, ask: “How can we motivate a community of learners?” Beyond simply measuring classes offered and attendees present, cultivate a collaborative culture of improvement focused on the organization’s future needs. Instead of creating audiences, proactively design an approach that values adaptation, enthusiasm, and purposeful action. In this way, we can drive innovation, impact our learning culture, and magnify our purpose as Learning professionals.
