Learning is ON … Everywhere

Even on vacation as I have now discovered.

First where have I been since the last few days. Well, I have been away on a small vacation just to get away from the grind and the boredom. It was a good break to drive down and enjoy the good mountain air of the western ghat section.

In between all this vacationing, I also got to learn a few things. One was about the service of the hotel we stayed in. Exemplary. The owners had really put in a lot of thought into converting their residence into a hotel and had painstakingly trained the staff to ensure that the guests had the best experience at this place. I assume there must have been quite a few trial and error learning process before they achieved this kind of service. I for one do plan another short trip again and also intend to refer this place to my family & friends if they need to travel. I guess this is what converting customers into client is all about :).

My other area of learning came from friends whom I shared the vacation with. Everyone had interesting anecdotes to share about work and come from diverse fields in variety of positions they work at. We discussed topics like team management, ethics, performance evaluation etc. Quick learning that I am bound to remember and use at work.

Anyway the bottom line for me is that once I have started writing this blog :), I am constantly in the lookout to learn more and share the same.
