Adopting a Habit of Continuous Learning

Technology is ever evolving. New open source databases pop up and fade away. Even the role of a database administrator changes as DBaaS adoption becomes status quo. The burden of maintaining your skills and knowledge is on you. Charles Duhigg, the author of The Power of Habit, writes “If you believe you can change – if you make it a habit – the change becomes real.” Through anecdotes of how a global managed services provider like Pythian enables learning for its employees, this session will provide strategies to make learning a habit. These strategies will help you thrive in your career, whether you are an individual contributor, or a leader hoping to enable learning for your team.
