Growth Program
- Have a look at the Skills Maturity Matrix and evaluate where you are: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18vPo7S1KJqxBWaZYcLVa3f4Zwuc94zcp8_aKBviS3Y8/edit#gid=0 (this is by the awesome Clay Parker Jones and unpacked here https://www.cpj.fyi/the-undercurrent-skills-maturity-matrix/ )
- carve out 30 mins a day to explore information/ inspiration
- take at least 30 mins one a day a week to record and reflect the week’s journey- what have you learned?
- the hard part here is just to start
- my process was to just take the three most resonant things and do a bit of a compare and contrast….
- here’s my blog- and an example of a month worth of reflections- https://katiechatfield.wordpress.com/2006/10/ (just an example- you could explore https://katiechatfield.wordpress.com/category/great-stuff/ or https://katiechatfield.wordpress.com/category/experience/)
- Schedule a 30 min chat with someone who will challenge you once a month to explore what you’ve found and how it’s informed your thinking
