The Value of Experience in Career Development

Experience plays a crucial role in career advancement, often surpassing academic learning as a source of knowledge. Unlike formal education, which can be structured and predictable, real-world experiences, such as having critical conversations at work, are infrequent and essential for developing competence. The time spent navigating these discussions is essential for building confidence and skill. Accumulating numerous experiences in a low-pressure context is vital, as this repetition fosters familiarity and reduces anxiety when facing high-stakes situations.
