Learn, Share, Grow – Are You Doing Your Work?

Below is a lesson from Seth Godin’s blog on doing your job vs doing your work, as well as our key learning.

The Blue Courage team is dedicated to continual learning and growth.  We have adopted a concept from Simon Sinek’s Start With Why team called “Learn, Share, Grow”.  We are constantly finding great articles, videos, and readings that have so much learning.  As we learn new and great things, this new knowledge should be shared for everyone to then grow from.
