Reaching our Potential

Career Development Leadership

George Freeman Thought Leader | Author | Architect| Florida, United States

What time-tested strategies allow one to reach their potential (i.e., a currently unrealized ability) in our profession?

Does it require one to go beyond the expectations that others have set for their role? Is it an appropriate focus for one to have?

Replying to Thomas Walenta

Hi George

agree what has been said: life is a journey, not a destination. So, from cradle to grave, being alive means continuous change.

If it is valued as improvement or decline is a matter of our own perspective. Be happy or depressed.

BTW thinking of having a career is predictive planning at its core. You think knowledge, reputation (certification) can be piled up for the goal of your life.
Nope.

My thesis is:
The only worthwhile goal is building wisdom, defined as the ability to handle situations. And wisdom is based on more than knowledge, it includes having a range of perspectives, empathy, emotional balance, humility etc..

Thomas

A thesis worthy of proclamation to the masses. What would a society, or to make it easier, a profession look like that sought such a worthwhile goal? Thank you Thomas!

Good question. It is different for everyone and relies upon the types of characteristics that one identifies in another.
