New Year Archives - Life is a Laboratory

Happy New Year! I hope your new year has started very well and I wish you every success for the year ahead. Just a quick update that my best selling courses New Year Sale has been extended until end of 26th January 2021. I also have my top 2021 goal setting tips to share below.

Tom’s Top Goal Setting Tips for 2021:

1. Set yourself a learning goal for the New Year. Continuous learning/lifelong learning is key to career success over the next decade. The pace of change in our world is accelerating and the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated this further. To remain relevant in a fast changing world we need to keep building our skills or become obsolete. I deal with the technologies and other forces driving change in our world and how these changes are impacting on jobs and careers in my ‘Future Skills 2030’ course (please see link to course below). In 2020 I built new skills on Futures Thinking and am currently undertaking a course on Cyber Security. I am not just giving you advice but I am following it myself! What learning goal(s) will you set for 2021?

2. Set yourself challenging goals. The reality is that challenging goals are inspiring and motivating. They excite us and fire us up to take action. I have set my own challenging goal on publishing a new beekeeping course that I have been working on. I aim to do this by February 20th and I really feel inspired to achieve that goal!

“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work”…..

2020 a year of massive change

Change was the name of the game in 2020 accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, the future is arriving faster than would have otherwise happened without the pandemic. For example so many aspects of our lives moved online in 2020 such as work, learning, shopping, socialising, entertainment and even worship. Take for example the impact of the pandemic on the future of work and learning. Within a few short months hundreds of millions of people found themselves remote working and learning. The future of work and learning is now blended. That means a mixture of remote working/study and in person work/study. This sudden shift has massive implications for the future. For instance, as a result of the pandemic rents will fall and the market for commercial real estate will weaken. The disruption seen in 2020 underscores the need for lifelong learning. In conclusion, change is happening all around us so we also need to change and grow to remain relevant.

Lifelong Learning

According to Wikipedia lifelong learning is the “ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated ” pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons. Change is happening whether we want it or not and we all need to change and adapt or become obsolete. To change and adapt we need a growth mindset and lifelong learning. Therefore make a conscious effort to make learning part of your daily routine in 2021. Set time aside in your daily schedule for learning and study. When you make your goals for 2021 make sure and include goals around learning and re-skilling and up-skilling. Please check out all my courses below but in particular the first two. The first course on goal setting will help you set clear and compelling goals for 2021. The second course ‘Future Skills’ will show you how technology and other forces including the Covid-19 pandemic are shaping the future of work. The course will show you which jobs are in and which jobs are out.

New year course sale

New technologies combined with other forces such as Covid-19 are creating massive change. However new technology also helps us change ourselves, grow and be ready for change. There is no better example of this than online courses. Below are my courses on sale for the new year. Included with individual courses are copies of my e-books on personal development and beekeeping. As indicated above I highly recommend the first two courses to set you on the right track for 2021.
