14. EXPLORING NEW LEARNING AVENUES

Cases of application for the job market

The stories below illustrate how the ability to explore new ways of learning
brings value to the workplace, positively impacting performance, results

and the ability to work in innovative and adaptable ways:

A.

Alex, a marketing professional, was perfectly happy with his job and his

workplace. He also knew that he was talented and smart and that he could
work for better positions in bigger companies or even bigger cities. The

only thing that held him back was his fears of changing work environments
which has always prevented him from exploiting unimaginable

opportunities.

Rather than moving between different companies, Alex decided to become
aware of his needs to diversify his skills and develop new knowledge in
order to cope with his reluctance to change work environment. He defined

clear personal and professional development goals that were matching his
growth needs.

Alex started exploring new horizons of learning such as digital marketing

courses, customer experience, data analytics and innovative online
advertising techniques. He shared this knowledge with his team, inspiring

them to adopt innovative strategies.

The results were quick to follow. Alex's team successfully implemented
digital campaigns that generated significant increases in traffic and

conversions. The team's adaptive learning skills led to a stronger brand
image and increased sales. Alex has become a respected leader in his

organization due to his continuous learning skills and ability to lead his
team through industry changes. And that was about transforming a

weakness into a strength by focusing on continuous learning and upskilling,
which he transformed in a way of living.
