The power of learning new things is the topic in this lively conversation with guest host Tom Hodson, coach Bev Jones and frequent WOUB guest Judge Gayle Williams-Byers. Your days at work are more rewarding when tasks challenge your thinking and stretch your mind. Learning activities – whether you take micro steps or deep dives -- can inspire new ideas, help you stay relevant and make your job more fun. 

The topic was inspired by Kerry Hannon’s 9/2/20 New York Times article, To Build Emotional Strength, Expand Your Brand: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/02/health/resilience-learning-building-skills.html
