Harsh Truth of corporate life and ......

Her name was Janice.

Janice was an important executive at a very large financial services company.

Working there made her realize a hard truth in the corporate world.

Yesterday's performance didn't matter much.

All that mattered were the results she was able to achieve today.

So if she wanted to stay on top and keep climbing the corporate ladder, she needed to always be upgrading her skills.

The problem was that Janice was a slow learner.

She needed twice the time it would normally take to learn new concepts and technologies.

On top of that, she was the mother of two teenage kids that needed attention and care.

She just didn't have any time left to keep improving her skills.

To make things worse, her job was in danger.

Her work environment was extremely competitive, and she was always pushed to deliver results.

Because she wasn't able to keep up with the demand, she was being left behind.

Fewer projects were assigned to her team.

If this continued, she could even lost her job altogether...

What could she do?

How would she be able to learn the skills she needed in the short time she had left?

That's when she decided to drastically change her approach.

Instead of trying to multitask and learn different parts of a skill at once.

She would deconstruct the skills she wanted to learn.

She would find the key components involved in learning the skill.

Then, she would create a system to learn each one of them one by one.

She would focus on only one key component at a time, and wouldn't move forward until she mastered each one of them.

What was the result?

Thanks to this new approach, she became a much more efficient learner.

Now, she was more adaptable and was always ready for every new challenge that appeared.

Her work performance improved tremendously, and she was regarded as one of the most valuable leaders in the organization.

All because she learned how to deconstruct any skill she wanted to learn.
