I am always looking for opportunities to expand my knowledge base: learn something new, refine existing thoughts, add a new perspective, or stumble across the unknown. As a cyclist, there is a refrain that goes through my mind- ‘always be pedaling’. So may people I ride with have a tendency to put effort into the pedals when necessary and then coast the downhills. If power can be applied to the pedals and the result is a favorable use of energy then I pedal. I believe the same is true for professional development. If an opportunity exists to learn, I take advantage of the opportunity.

I stumbled across the “How To” section of the Wall St. Journal online today. Great brief interviews with CEOs of Fortune 500 companies about leadership and managing.
