In this episode of eLABorate Topics, co-host Tywauna Wilson dives into the transformative world of learning beyond the traditional classroom setting. Join us as we explore strategies for medical laboratory professionals to continue their education, enhance personal growth, and achieve professional success.

Today, we will cover:

- Techniques for integrating daily practice and repetition in your routine for mastery and personal transformation.

- The role of technology in reinforcing learning and habit formation for lifelong success.

- The value of coaching, mentoring, and surrounding yourself with achievers in accelerating your learning curve.

- How to diversify your skills through experiential learning, continuous education, and embracing a culture of growth.

- Practical steps to make lifelong learning an intentional, fulfilling journey, including participating in book clubs and joining forces with accountability groups.

Reflection Questions

1. Reflect on your current approach to learning and development. In what ways can you incorporate lifelong learning practices into your daily routine to ensure continuous personal and professional growth?
2. Consider the last time you learned something new. How did you apply it in your life or work? What strategies could you use to ensure that new knowledge is not only retained but also applied effectively?
3. Think about the role of mentors, coaches, and mastermind groups in your life. How have these relationships (or the lack thereof) impacted your learning journey?

Cindy Esliger talks all about boredom in this episode. Often viewed as a negative, research actually suggests that boredom can have some surprising benefits. Experiencing boredom is a necessary part of growth. Cindy unpacks what causes boredom, the problems and perks that can come of it, and ultimately how to handle it. 

When we’re bored, we’re more likely to engage in divergent thinking. That’s important for generating multiple solutions to a problem, sparking creativity, and inspiring growth. Whether bored at work or in our personal lives, boredom is often a catalyst for exploring new career options or skills and trying a new hobby. Not all boredom is beneficial, though, so Cindy explains the differences between good and harmful boredom. 

Frequently, how we combat boredom can make it more or less useful. Our unoccupied minds demand entertainment but if we just idly distract ourselves with our phones, we miss opportunities to take a break, look for novelty and unique solutions, or pick up a new skill. Cindy offers five ways to embrace boredom and overcome the discomfort it can bring. Cindy will inspire you to view boredom in a whole new way.

• Guide to Using Boredom As a Catalyst for Growth
