Hello Toyin. Thank you for your eye opening lecture on Digital being the new name, it made me understand so much about the impact of branding and the countless opportunities available in the digital space. My question is this: How were you able to overcome learning challenges or barriers when faced with projects outside your scope or strengths. Looking forward to your response :)

Hello Ebunoluwa, 

I'm glad you found the session useful. 

My approach to life is that I'll never get given anything I cannot deal with, so the fact that I'm faced with that particular challenge means I have the ability to overcome it.  Then, I go into learning, it's my first point of call with most things. Not necessarily structured learning, I spend a lot of time reading, not books, just blogs and articles on things I am curious about, or need knowledge on, sometimes I turn to podcasts, or videos - an easier way to learn for me. In this space, you have to cultivate a culture of learning as it is so dynamic and forever evolving. I also rely a lot on my network, no one is an Island right? You cannot be an expert at everything, so rely on people who can offer their expertise when you need it, or coach you.
