In this opening session address to the St. Mary’s Graduate School of Business, Robert outlines a life philosophy of blending and intensifying learning, practice, and teaching into your life: that we must never stop learning, nor stop practicing, nor stop teaching. Together they form a cycle of growth for all individuals.
Volunteering in an industry organization pays big dividends for only a small amount of time energy. There are many benefits you may not have considered.
If only learning and teaching were as natural to us as breathing. But if you don’t keep learning and teaching in a significant manner, you’ll get less and less accomplished, and you’ll make less and less difference in the world.
