Developing Self
The simple truth is that people who grow, develop and enhance their skills are more successful in their careers. The world doesn’t stand still, so the skills you have today aren’t going to be enough to cope with the demands of tomorrow and acquiring new skills is the most effective way to prepare for the future. Being truly committed to self development means that you will actively seek out opportunities for learning and acquiring new skills, will welcome constructive feedback, and will challenge yourself rather than waiting for others to challenge you. Self development is a personal commitment, but stretch yourself and see what you can achieve. It may be more than you thought.
