Let's Learn Our Way Through It, Shall We?

At the end of 2018, I found myself beginning an exciting new position as chief learning officer of the Kraft Heinz Company. Having been in learning and development for more than 20 years, I was to be responsible for creating a culture of continuous learning, bold creativity, and intellectual curiosity; for driving training and learning initiatives at one of the largest food companies in the world. It was a great challenge.

On a snowy day in Canada, during a ride from a leadership retreat to the Toronto airport, heading home to Chicago. I made a daily commitment. I made a promise: every day for a year, I would learn something new, and would share it with the organization through our internal social media channel. 365 Days of Learning. This journal shares the lessons I learned in that year of learning. I invite you to use it as inspiration as you make a commitment to learn something new every day too!

Your daily learning can be just a few minutes long or a few hours. Reading articles, taking eLearning courses, listening to podcasts, reading books, and learning from everyday interactions. It all counts! This journal allows you to spend time each day reflecting on what you learned. Use this journal to commit to a learning practice of your own-because by learning, reflecting, and sharing, we empower others as well as yourself. Let's Learn Our Way Through It, Shall We? can be the foundation of a learning transformation for you, your family, your community, or your organization. A vibrant learning practice is an important ingredient to fuel any transformation.

There is power in making a commitment to be a lifelong learner. There is power in making a commitment to start a new habit-even if you start with a few minutes a day. There is power in deciding to be the Chief Learning Officer of your life as you continue to work toward the best version of yourself.

Welcome to the next 365 days of your life. Let's learn our way through it, shall we?
