Worth Reading – Learning AI Feels Like a Second Job
It’s no wonder that people are burning out professionally. Every week there are new things to learn, changes to deal with, strategies to reconsider, projects on deadlines, etc. We don’t often get a chance to simply do the work, let alone rest.

Worth Reading – Unlearning Is an Important Part of Learning
I’ve talked about this before, but it bears repeating. Change is our reality. The most challenging students I worked with as a trainer weren’t the ones who struggled with a concept or had to overcome a barrier related to language or cultural understanding. It was the ones who didn’t think they needed to change anything they had been doing for years. They didn’t understand why they were being asked to change the way they worked.

Worth Reading – Most managers can’t participate in training because they don’t have time, study shows
When you don’t provide management training, or have it available but never give the new manager time to attend, what do you think happens to their performance as a manager? Again, you’ve undermined them. You’ve put them in a position to fail.

Worth Reading – No surprise that Phishing Training Doesn’t Work!
Every employee is probably learning about AI because their job demands it, learning new features after new features of the tools they use to do their job, learning new systems that get rolled out every year, and dealing with technological change at a ridiculous pace.
Then, we make them responsible for learning how to stay secure and deal with all of the hack attempts that may come their way, too.
It’s all too much. Most of your users aren’t going to put in that kind of effort, and a yearly reminder about data security isn’t going to help them keep up with the variety of risks that are out there. It might not be worth the money you spend on it.
