He would relay to us as little kids all the time, you know what, like somebody can, they can take away your house, they can take away your possessions, they can take away your money, they can take away your family, they can take your health, they can do all that kind of stuff. The only thing that they cannot take away from you is your education. And so I still believe that.

The only thing that they cannot take away from you is your education. And so I still believe that.

I still believe that's very true. And so anyway, from a long, from my early age with those kind of two things, It was education is important, right? And you should constantly be learning, right? And I don't, I didn't know at the time that, yeah, I constantly be learning. Now it's related to keeping technology and technological advances and things like generative AI that I'm now studying.

It was more like you just should keep learning all the time. My parents were very flexible and it didn't really matter what. But it was important that it was with somebody who knows it, so there was an expert. And at the end, there was going to be some kind of written comment. There was going to be a degree, a diploma, letters behind your name, whatever it is. So that's lifelong learning.

For me, there's continually learning from established institutions, programs, gathering up the diploma and other things. And really, the area doesn't matter. Lifelong learning, learn whatever. But lifelong learning is, I think it's an outdated concept and particularly because it just lacks spoken. I may be an example of that.

And that's where I studied English literature, I studied philosophy, I studied liberal art. Then I went to Japan and then I did a master's degree in modern Japanese literature. Okay, there's a little bit of a connection there with literature, but different cultures, different languages. Then I go to the UK and I do a master's degree in social anthropology in South D.C. Learning Burmese.

I lived in lots of countries, so that's where the cultures, the people come from. I can back up again in hindsight, I can connect them, but they didn't really have a focus on building expertise. They were disjointed variety of individual level or understanding and mastery of skills and discipline. And then I had to actually build pathways to connect them.

And one of the pathways that helped me do that was doing an MBA at Durham in the UK. And so I connected intersectional anthropology, I connected multi-generational stuff, and I connected performance management for business to figure out a metric to understand how to support multi-generational organizations with different levels of performance management and guidance. But it wasn't purposeful.

Fast forward a few years. Now we're into the pandemic. I'm living here in Canada. I'm sitting like most of us were in our own little home offices. I'm going through things like LinkedIn learning in other places. And I'm noticing connectivity between, hey, what if I learn...

how to be better at doing online presentation and whatnot from the short course, then I can use the skills that I learned as a lecturer to maybe coach it in-house in my company. So everybody will be better at sitting in virtual meetings. Hey, there's this new performance management tool online because we're all living remotely, so we're worried about efficiency and all of those kind of things.

How could I learn the technology behind it to maybe adapt it so we can add it to the practices we have in comp that are still a little bit traditional? Paper big. building and building and building. So what happened was, I'm not entirely sure that stacking is the right word. I think it's more like staircase.
