Elevate Forward

As you refine your approach for learning/growth in a chosen area, keep the following developmental principles in mind:

Challenge: Stretch yourself; move out of your comfort zone, remembering that real improvement nearly always involves a departure from your “tried and true.”

Experimentation: Treat the world as your learning lab, with the intention of paying close attention to what strategies are most fruitful, and which might not apply to you.

Self-observation: Become a student of yourself — your purpose, goals, strengths, gaps. Only you can determine what works best for you when it comes to learning and improvement.

Simplicity: Set a clear intention around one key area of improvement and follow through on this — picking something that will have an outsized positive impact on your effectiveness.

Structure: Find and implement structural changes that will support your shift. Changing your schedule, joining a club, modifying your diet, adding sleep are simple examples of structural levers.

Accountability Partnering: Who can support you in your journey, push you in your more difficult moments, and help celebrate your progress?

Fun: As you experiment and make progress on your growth path, move forward with a sense of adventure. Tap into the “fire in your belly” rather than the “weight on your shoulders.”
