And lifelong learning is really all about .

The more skills you have, the easier it is to...

- be for a variety of positions
- do well in situations
- find ways to be

This was one of our favorite points of the conversation with Diane Johnson Flynnn, co-founder and CEO of ReBoot Career Accelerator for Women, on this week's episode of Let's Talk About Skills, Baby.

Diane believes Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are a critical piece to creating the type of work environment we want to see.

"They are really [able] to embolden people, give people a majority experience […] They are the 'onlys' or the lonelies' in a lot of meetings, and all of a sudden, they can show up in a space that is safe, where they can express their full self." - Diane Johnson Flynn

📖Learning does not only happen once. Not only do we learn so many things throughout our life, but we also have to practice what we have learned.

💪Think of this like going to the gym. You have to keep working those muscles so you don’t lose them.
