looking for new skills, insights and ideas.
If they're not learning, they're not growing...not moving."
---Dennis Waitley
Finding motivation and inspiration is strongly tied to your personal drive for self improvement. When you're confident in your skills, you are much more likely to feel more motivated and inspired about your work. And you're then able to inspire and influence others.
Study, learning new skills and talking to people in other companies IS energizing. Feeling like we're the Master or Mistress of our Universe is invigorating. So why do so many of us put off our skill-building?
Some common reasons I know I've faced in the past include: being too busy, finding most development programs boring and just not putting my own development as a high priority. Sometimes, procrastination just sets in. I'd rather go home and watch 24 than go to an Association event in the evening.
If you rated yourself low in the work motivation and inspiration Skills area you may notice:
- You've lost some interest and momentum in advancing your career.
- You may not be clear about your work roles and responsibilities right now.
- You may be procrastinating more than usual at work.
- You don't have a strong network of contacts outside of work.
- You shy away from new assignments and stepping outside your comfort zone.
"A winner is someone who recognizes God-given talents,
works his tail off to develop them into skills,
and uses these skills to accomplish his goals."
---Larry Bird
