A crane stays still for a long time as it looks for resources. It watches the world around it and observes.

Here’s the weekly roundup of upcoming learning events, so that we can continue to be nourished.

🎯 I try to learn as much as I can and fill up with meaningful things.

πŸ‘‰ I often find various upcoming learnings about cybersecurity β€” I thought I’d start sharing those out as a rolling weekly thing.

πŸ‘‰ You can choose or not choose to use them

πŸ‘‰ You could decide maybe you want to make a rule

πŸ‘‰ Rule Example: Learn/attend two virtual conferences a month

πŸ‘‰ You can research which are the best organizations

πŸ‘‰ Or you could have an accountability learning buddy.

❓ Are there other events in May/June related to technology and/or cybersecurity that are free that I should add?

You can choose to be part of the learning ecosystem! 🌍 Thank you!
