Working for a Mainland corporation (real estate developer) that is a newcomer to Hawai'i, I was pleased to discover that my employer considers learning "good fat". Flew all 1500 of us sales executives from around the country to Las Vegas in August for 2 days of packed learning experience...handed each of us at the beginning a blank page to use in creating our action plan for integrating the learning into new habits when we arrived home. Friday I received an email blast announcing all the ways in which they are investing in continuing our learning curve to thrive in what other companies are bemoaning as a catastrophic environment. Winter and waves are arriving!

That is wonderful Beth, mahalo for sharing it with us. Your company made quite a statement with that investment in all of you, and I like hearing that they made it clear they expected a return from the investment too: In asking all of you for your lessons-learned and planned action steps, they treated all of you as business partners – you all work ON the business, and not just “within” it.

It will never be a “catastrophic environment” for all of you when continuous learning colors the character of your working discipline.
