KPA Legacy: Benefits of Lifelong Learning, Take Shark Advice
With technology rapidly changing the way people live, the KPA Legacy leadership team encouraged their associates to develop lifelong learning habits. The firm's director also shared tips from celebrity mogul Barbara Corcoran.
Norwood, MA, September 25, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “It’s really amazing how quickly the world can change,” stated Dena, KPA Legacy’s director. “Technology continues to dazzle us with new and exciting ways to personalize our promotions and meet the needs of even greater audiences.” The team has ambitious plans for growth, which means they are poised to embrace exciting careers in sales marketing. It also means new opportunities to join the KPA Legacy team will be presenting themselves.
Of course, with these rapid advances comes an increasing responsibility to stay current on technology and trends, and the best way Dena and her crew are able to promote this ideal is to encourage lifelong learning habits in their associates. “If there was a time you could learn everything you needed to know by time you graduated from high school or college, it isn’t today,” Dena explained. “College simply helps train people to absorb information; the real learning takes place after you graduate.”

With this in mind, Dena shared some benefits of lifelong learning. She stated that it makes people more mentally agile and better able to adapt to changes – big pluses in an industry so closely tied to technology and big data. Also, it’s a way to meet new people and discover hidden interests that a failure to keep learning new things might not reveal. Perhaps most importantly though, it inevitably leads to a more fulfilling life. “The more people know about themselves and the world in which they live, the more satisfaction they take in even the most mundane tasks,” Dena shared.
KPA Legacy’s Director Shares Valuable “Shark Tank” Advice
A specific goal Dena and the KPA Legacy leaders hope to accomplish by encouraging lifelong learning is to enable the professional success of their colleagues. To that end, they share some practical advice from “Shark Tank” investor Barbara Corcoran. “I love watching Barbara; I think she’s an inspiration to business women everywhere,” Dena declared. “She’s the first to admit that she’s made a lot of mistakes to get where she is, but she doesn’t apologize for them – she embraces them.”
One of the most important pieces of advice Dena gleaned from Corcoran is to be optimistic, even if it doesn’t make any sense to do so. “Being irrationally optimistic is probably even more important than being smart. So-called intelligent people might not take the risks necessary to make it in the business world,” Dena shared.
Of course, risk-taking can be an anxious affair, with the possibility of failure looming around every corner. According to Dena, Corcoran gives excellent advice for this situation as well. “Barbara said that the only way to defeat a fear is to confront it, and she gives examples from her own life on how she did exactly that. No matter how hard I fall, I know that if I’m willing to get back up the reward will always be worth it.”
