I'm about half way through my first class in Project Management and must say it's not as hard as I feared. Project Management is fairly straightforward at least at the introductory level. I'm learning a few new terms and some things that pass as "theories" which are closer to Murphy's Laws than the Law of Supply and Demand from my economics classes during my undergraduate days. Still, there's a lot to get right when managing a project and if these simplistic rules assist in that then I am ready to learn, or at least store them in short term memory for the exam at the end of class.
I am enjoying getting to know some new folks - we work on a team just like I did when I went to get my MBA. I'm pleased to report that I have done a good job establishing a good team relationship and the team is operating at a high productivity level already.
While I was initially worried about taking classes again I am pleasantly surprised at the satisfaction the intellectual challenge of learning a new field of knowledge has given me. Bod Dylan wrote "most of the things I worry about never happen anyway" - and I couldn't agree more.

The class may affirm how much you have already derived from life experience. It certainly should apply to your coaching concerns. Did you know that learning new things increases your ability to learn more, and can extend your lifetime?
Irene,
I had read about some research that mentioned that learning new things when you were older helped lower the risk of dementia... but I didn't pay much attention because I don't think I'm that old. Vanity, vanity
