What we mean
In the context of the "Do Work You Love" concept, self-development encompasses a holistic approach to personal growth and creates the foundation for professional growth. It involves continuous learning, self-awareness, and skill enhancement to align one’s career and life with their passions and values. Here’s how it ties into various elements:
1. Awareness & Management:
Discover self-development topics designed to increase your self-awareness and help you manage your life according to your unique lifestyle and aspirations.
2. Define:
Define and describe key aspects of everyday life, such as happiness and success, and use them as a navigation system and benchmarks for your self-development.
3. Lists:
Develop personalized lists of important and helpful topics to enhance alignment, clarity, focus, and direction in your self-development journey.
4. Practice:
Regularly or on-demand, put into practice what you've learned or created throughout your self-development journey to reinforce and solidify your growth.
In essence, self-development for us is about empowering individuals to direct their career paths, leverage available resources, and build a supportive network to achieve a fulfilling and passion-driven professional life, whether they are employed or running their own business.
