The fear never goes away, but we can reclaim the child-like zest we once had for exploring new things. That zest sprang from our ability to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. As adults we can reclaim that zest if we broaden our perspective. Jim takes this idea and develops it further in relation to corporate America and the fast-paced changes resulting from the information age. We can take his writing and transfer the ideas to our learners and to ourselves as learners.
Secure people overcome fear and stay open to learning by becoming comfortable with change.
At WIDS we are constantly trying to remain open to new ideas and perspectives that facilitate learning.
