Choose learning
We’re all busy with our personal and professional lives, but that doesn’t mean we should stop educating ourselves.
I have spent a good portion of the last eight months crisscrossing the country training professionals in the AEC industry on a variety of topics including leadership, project management, hiring and keeping great talent, professional speaking, and communication. It never gets old. I enjoy helping others polish the diamond within themselves.
Randy Wilburn CONTINUING ED
So many of us have been there in our careers where we kind of limp along, just getting by but never really jump-starting our appetite for learning. We forget to stoke our curiosity. “Learning is one of those things that we either choose to do, or choose not to do, while we keep ourselves busy with everything else. My challenge to you is to figure out a way to do it all.”
Einstein said it best: “All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.” We are all given options to advance ourselves, improve our calling, and contribute to society in a meaningful way. Our careers and chosen professions can provide us with a chance to make a mark that stands the test of time. I remember when I graduated from college I swore up and down that I would never pick up a book again. Boy, was I wrong! I quickly developed a curiosity for learning that has pushed me into the unchartered waters of education, waters that started out as cold as the San Francisco Bay but ended up as warm as a South Beach Miami breeze.
