HOW To Develop (Velocity) Continued
Lesson 17 Course Review
Taking responsibility for learning will not only support career development, but also lead to greater personal fulfilment. Opportunities for growth are not only limited to years in formal education – they can be a lifelong pursuit.
Learning is the acquisition of knowledge and skills, whereas development is the gradual mastery of those skills, putting knowledge into practice and incorporating it into everyday work. This success involves
Having the right mindset as per Carol Dweck’s growth mindset where we believe we are not limited by circumstances, but can improve and seize opportunities to learn and grow
Actively putting processes in place such as seeking feedback, completing a personal audit to input into a development plan
Supercharging with your Strengths, by focusing on what you do best
