Is it Time to Adjust Our Approach to Learning?

At a recent multigenerational family gathering, the millennials (and the boomers) were bemoaning the still-in-college-GenZs. “You get to learn all day. I miss that.” I would argue that those in the group that have jobs and responsibilities are still learning every day, but it’s a different learning because of said jobs and responsibilities. There is noise in our modern day life that can inhibit true learning over knee-jerk reactions.

There is probably no job or role today that doesn’t contain a modicum of learning. Whether it’s formal learning courses provided by your company, informal learning provided by your team, or personal learning during the course of your day, there are myriad opportunities from which to learn. But do we learn? Do we understand and incorporate the knowledge or information we have gleaned? Or are we too busy to get it and retain it?
