We used to go to work to learn to do the job. Now learning IS the job.
The Number One Sunday Times bestseller
Staying relevant and resilient is essential to success in any role, but it can feel like we’re too caught up in the day-to-day demands of working life to pursue opportunities to learn and grow. This leaves us feeling stuck and unsure where to start.
In Learn Like a Lobster, Sunday Times bestselling authors Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis show us how to unlock more time in our working lives and use the work we already do to develop our skills and master new ones.
And lobsters are the surprising role model for accelerating your ambitions.
* Lobsters never stop growing - and your potential is limitless too
* Lobsters grow through hard moments - use your challenges to uncover new learning
* Lobsters fuel their own growth - don't wait for career opportunities, create your own
Whether you’re someone who is ambitious to grow or you’re not sure about where to start, Learn Like a Lobster offers energising practical tools and actions that you can start using right away.
Because when you learn, you grow.
