I've been thinking a lot about the ways I can continue to educate myself throughout my career trajectory.

I've tried conferences, but sometimes those are a little too long and/or filled with sessions I don't need. I've looked into courses, but some of those can be pricey, too. What have you personally done to continue learning throughout your career?

I am a continuing education advocate. I have sought cases and programs through the business department where I got my business degree. I also have augmented my credentials with certifications in areas that support my job (my company pays for this). I love conferences too for networking and to keep abreast of trends and advances in my field.
Finally, I read leading publications and network with those on the front lines writing books and speaking at business organizations.

I read a lot of trade publications and books (check the library). I know a lot of folks who listen to podcasts & TedTalks as well.

Having conversations with individuals who have careers I admire and hope to emulate. Learning from others who have reached the level I want to be or are working in the space I want to find myself - have been huge for me, and you never know who can help you along the way.
