Welcome to ABG, Asian Boss Girl, a podcast for the modern-day Asian American woman.

My name is Helen, I'm Mel, and I'm Janet.

In college, I am her loving the feeling of taking random classes outside my major

and learning something totally outside my comfort zone. From West African dance class

to the history of Greece, yes, your girl loves history, school is definitely the playground for my brain.

Oh, I also took West African dance. What? I did not.

But as the three of us graduated from college and moved into corporate jobs,

a lot of the new learnings largely consisted of skills needed to excel in our careers,

whether that was taking a bootcamp to job transition into UX design or taking a course to get

certified in accounting, it all circled around our careers. As much as we learned a lot

from those experiences, there's a novelty with learning purely for our own personal interest.

So for today's episode, we are going to be sharing something we've learned and teach it to each

other and to you. Hopefully this episode will spark a light for you to try and learn something you've

always wanted to do, but have put off for one reason or another. So I will say that learning

into your adulthood is kind of difficult, right? But why is continuous learning so important?

Well, according to LinkedIn's article, seven reasons why continuous learning is important.

Tell us, Mel, tell us why continuous learning important.

Sorry, I just realized the article is the same thing. Anyways, um, wait, I don't get it.

I said, why is it difficult? Sorry, now I get it.

Continuous learning is your self-motivated persistence and acquiring knowledge and competencies

in order to expand your skills and develop future opportunities. It forms part of your personal

professional development and effort to avoid stagnation and reach your full potential.
