Brushing Up Your Skills
This era of accelerating change calls us to constantly grow our skill set so we can perform well on a variety of levels and difficult settings.
How aware are you of the best skills you currently possess? Have you identified those you need to acquire? Brushing up your skills may mean you need to buff and polish vigorously to remove the rust, or it may mean you just need to lightly dust them off. Recognizing what you still need now, and will need in the future, can help you develop and improve your game plan.
Take some time to identify what you need now, and anticipate your future needs. Begin by identifying where you want to be in the future (say, in 5 years). Get as specific as possible. Then identify the competencies required to be effective in that situation, and rate yourself against them.
Regularly assessing and upgrading your inventory of skills will help you stay competitive in today’s market.
