What drives your learning, growth, and development?

…Passion…!

…Curiosity…!

…Enjoyment…!

…Performance feedback…!

…Problem solving…!

…Risk management (against the unknown)…!

…Crisis management…!

…Respect…!

…Deference…!

…Obligation…!

…Impostor syndrome…!

…Image management…!

…To feign/maintain a semblance of superiority…!

…Etc etc…!

Take 5 min to reflect…

>> What are your top three?

>> What part(s) of your drive to learn is getting desired results, now or future?

>> What part(s) is getting in your way?

Learning to learn well — not just a lot — will serve you and others brilliantly long-term.

Don’t take my word for it… Test, observe and iterate.

For (too) many this means:

(+) Be not-so-still, my heart.

(+) Get out there, in the ring, on the court and on the dance floor.

(+) Enjoy the dance, the fight, the game and the adventure :)
