Sometimes there is a changeup in the way you need to accomplish a task. What you did long ago will not help you finish up what you need to get done now. Things change. People change. Technology changes. How do you stay in the know? You may want to start a self directed education program. It is never too late to learn something new. If you are already primed for learning, picking up a new skill may be easier.
Building relationships with others can help you learn new ideas. Others may have a different way of doing what is given to them. They may interpret it in a different way. They may open to helping you achieve your goals. If you all have a common goal, it is beneficial to have a good repore with your team. You may require some time to think on your own. That is okay, too.
The trick is in applying what you learn. If you are open to trying new things, you can achieve your goals. If you don’t like change, then you may have a difficult time. You can learn a new skill or learn something new and make new friends. Experiment. Change things up or look at them in a new way. Your changeup can help you get out of a rut.
