What Will I Learn?

This is the sixth post in a continuing series designed to help you create a great 2008 - using questions to reflect on last year, and project into the future. All of the questions and additional information can be found in this tool, available for you to download now.

The sixth question is:

What will I learn?

I believe this question is extremely powerful because it makes us intentional and conscious as learners. In many ways this is the necessary follow-up question to the second in this series - What are my goals?

Why?

Because when we set goals by definition identifying gaps in our knowledge.

In my experience most goals require more than just time or other resources - they also require that we learn some things! So if you have been following this thread and (hopefully) answering these questions for yourself, go back to question 2 and start there in creating your learning list for 2008.

My list for 2008 includes:

- How to use and extend Web 2.0 tools for the benefit of our clients - current and future.
- How create and tell stories more effectively.
- Write to elicit more emotion from the reader.
- implement ideas with greater speed.
- ways to collaborate more effectively.

As with many of these questions, I haven't shared my full list, but rather a sampling. If you are also interested in learning these things, or if you may be able to help me as a mentor, coach, or teacher, let me know - I am VERY open to learning these things in any way that I can!

As with all of these questions, I welcome your comments and answers.
