Nick van Dam, chief learning officer (CLO) at McKinsey, is passionate about learning.
His role in the company is to oversee leadership development and skill building. He fulfils this for some 25,000 colleagues globally, while also teaching as a visiting professor at several prestigious universities.
He claims research proves that learning makes one's life much more fulfilling. Moreover, during the last 40 years, scientists have demonstrated that our capacity for learning does not diminish as we grow older.
There is no doubt that people really can continue to learn throughout their entire lives.
