Lesson Description
This audio lesson examines why lifelong learning is essential for achieving success in an era of rapid technological advancement. Behavioural skills expert Liggy Webb discusses the concept of learning, unlearning and relearning – drawing on Alvin Toffler’s influential work to highlight why adaptability now matters more than traditional expertise. The conversation covers the complexities of an ‘expert’ mindset, the value of humility in the learning process, and how to become an intentional rather than passive learner. You’ll gain insights into why passion-driven learning outperforms fear-based motivation, how to make the most of dead time for development, and which uniquely human skills – including critical thinking, creativity and emotional intelligence – will remain indispensable as AI reshapes the workplace.
