Episode 168: Daphne Koller: How to Get an Education in Your PJs - On The Dot Woman

During the weekend, I attended a conference full of educators and innovators. In more than a couple sessions, panelists contended particular careers require lifelong learning. A physician, for example, can’t stick with her 1970s med-school education if she wants to stay relevant and help her patients. This week, get in the learning mindset. (No protractors necessary!) Identify a subject you’d like to know more about then spend some time thinking of the best ways to learn about it—online courses, getting help from a mentor, studying a particular textbook—and set a reasonable deadline for implementing this academic work into your busy life. It might not be as easy as learning your ABCs, but it’s worth it. So, put on your thinking cap, hit the books and embrace your continuing education with an open mind.
