Control ALT Delete: Unlearn to Learn

There comes a moment when rebooting your career is not just about learning something new—it is about unlearning what no longer serves you. For many adults retooling in midlife, artificial intelligence is the wake-up call. The rules have changed. The pace has shifted. The tools are evolving faster than traditional systems can keep up. But here is the truth: you do not need to master it all. You just need to reframe your approach. Control: Start by letting go of outdated beliefs—about age, about learning, about what you “should” already know. Then, Alt: explore alternative paths, tools, and perspectives. Finally, Delete: remove the fear that says you are too late to adapt. In this AI era, reinvention begins with release.
