Learning is so important and I agree, the temptation is to think about it only in terms of courses and formal learning. I was having this conversation with one of my team members today (as part of her annual review) and she was talking about how she has just discovered the value of writing a reflection after an event or new experience (or even a not so new experience) and the richness and depth of learning that accompanies that. It is something that I know, and have practiced previously, but don't always 'get around to doing'. Listening to her saying that today was a healthy reminder that I would also benefit from such a practice! Who knows where that would take me :)

Yes, reflection after learning something new is SO important!
