Reclaim your student status. If you can, go back to “school” and collect certifications like infinity stones. Taking a single class or utilizing company training courses to learn more about your field is a great way to pursue new knowledge and skills.

Be a part of a community outside yourself. Join a work club or sports team, get involved in activities and events, and give back to your community through volunteering. You’ll meet people you never would have interacted with before, and their stories just may surprise and inspire you.

Listen up. I know – we all have a story to tell, but instead of sharing your side first, listen to others when they speak up. The simple act of listening well is the magic food to growing a lifelong learning mindset, especially when faced with an idea you might disagree with.
