Prioritizing Self-Development for Career Success

Structured career development models are scarce, with only about one in ten professionals benefiting from one. Investing time in personal skill development is essential for achieving not just a good career but an extraordinary one. By treating skill-building as a priority—similar to paying oneself first financially—individuals can ensure they are continuously growing within their careers. Creating a dedicated space for skill development in one’s schedule is crucial, as many people fail to take accountability for their growth, assuming their jobs will provide all necessary training.
