How do you all think of personal learning and growth as partners ? Is there a difference between when you were junior partners vs. senior partners? I ask because I don’t know how much I’m learning on the job anymore .

I try to learn something on every engagement. Job would get boring otherwise. MD for 14 years.

This comes across like you are waiting for someone else to give you a learning path. You are a Partner; you determine your learning path.

I put together 4 things I want to learn in a given year, one for each quarter. 6 months in, I assess and see if something new has popped up that should replace something in this year's plan, or if it should be added to my backlog.

Having a plan like this allows me to also put in conferences or other items that I can then go and see what the company will cover, as part of my broader biz dev plan for the year. I get most things covered this way.

Assuming one is all-knowing is proof enough that one doesn’t know a lot.

Sorry - not being cheeky. Just channeling a Shaolin monk. Look around - plenty to learn & grow from.

Technology, regulation, and best practices are always changing. There is always something new to learn.

There is a difference between learning external changes versus internal. My challenge is that I'm not growing internally to really learn the ins and outs of running a business. Feel like a glorified employee more than a part owner of a business.

What is holding you back?

I think it’s fair that on the job learning is not the primary source anymore. You have to seek out new topics and then bring them into your job. ‘23 and ‘24 I spent a ton of time learning about AI deployments (both good and bad). In ‘25 I’ve brought that into the job through sold work.

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either. Then you get an interview and they tell you it’s remote/hybrid(1-2-3days, take your pick)/on-site. So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value.

What is your opinion on this topic?
