PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Your early years are all about learning, and success is measured by how you perform at school. As you get older, you get more comfortable, settling into a routine and sticking to what you know.

But outside your comfort zone, as the saying goes, is where the magic happens. Learning new skills keeps you relevant and competitive at work. It brings interesting new perspectives, ideas and career opportunities. And it’s intrinsically rewarding.

‘Learning’ can mean a formal academic or professional education, but it can also be practical or creative, and doesn’t require time off work for full-time study. There are endless resources available to learn for free, anywhere, any time, and to suit any learning style. Start small by listening to a new podcast, reading a book, or watching an interesting Youtube video.
