With limited time and organizations tightening their budgets, investing in yourself and your personal and professional growth can take effort and resources that are limited. Take the initiative to upskill yourself by reading, listening to podcasts, mentoring someone, and finding a mentor. You may be surprised how carving out time to learn and grow daily or weekly, whatever you can invest, will help you reframe your thinking and bring new and fresh ideas to your daily work.
Below are some of my favorite podcasts across Technology, Leadership, and Research Craft themes.
