Amelia, I primarily focus on structured learning, especially self-paced courses or instructor-led training. These formats have proven to be highly valuable in today’s rapidly evolving landscape, as they provide comprehensive and organized content. While I do supplement my learning with blogs, YouTube videos, and other online resources, I find that these can sometimes be less effective, particularly when the topic is completely new to me. Structured courses help build a solid foundation, making it easier to then explore supplementary materials.

Thank you for sharing! Yes, there is still much to learn from experienced PMs. Having structured courses gives the big picture of the framework, not just piecing thing together from random resources.

GenAI is just a tool that helps me for not doing what I did for years related to search for data, transform it into information, and synthetize it. But take into account that "human in the loop" is the key success factor when you use GenAI. Starting from following the right prompt framework and format to avoid wasted of time.

Thank you! Very insightful point of "human in the loop". I've been learning how to refine my AI prompts with detailed context and sometimes specific data to produce efficient outputs. Do you have any strategies in prompt framework when using AI to improve the output quality?

For consistency, make the same question using difference formats using the prompt framework, for example, I shared here.
For trust, ask for references (links) inside the prompt format.

Amelia,
Yes, I rely heavily on online resources, though not the ones you mentioned, such as blogs and YouTube.
I prefer reading over watching/listening, read periodicals like HBR, subscribe to scientific journals, look at PPTs from webinars, and even buy books on Kindle. All online.
The human component comes in from mentoring sessions, which keep me alert to the life problems of young people, meetings with my volunteer teams (all online), and monthly 1-2 face to face meetings. Saving Changes...
Unfortunately there is no single guru who is suitable across a large range of innovations. One of the biggest challenges whenever there is a rapidly advancing field such as AI is to know who is a trustworthy source and when they cease to be trustworthy.
You are likely to find that the more specific your inquiry, the easier it is to find one or multiple reliable sources of knowledge. The broader, the more challenging.
(BTW, when I saw your post, I immediately thought of a famous, fictional Amelia Pond WHO I'm sure folks have mentioned to you before... :-) ).

I rely on a mix—blogs for depth, podcasts for ideas on the go, and YouTube for hands-on demos. The key is filtering reliable sources, taking notes, and applying what you learn quickly. Channels like Harvard Business Review, Coursera, and industry-focused blogs help me stay current without feeling overwhelmed.

Usually mix sources: YouTube for tutorials, blogs for frameworks/trends, and podcasts for real-world stories. The key is to test what I learn right away so it sticks. For AI, Towards AI and Data School are solid; for PM, Projectified and RebelsGuideToPM are good options
