Invest in You: Personal and Professional Development Tips
Invest in You: Personal and Professional Development Tips
What you’ll learn
Skills you’ll gain
There are points in our lives where we find ourselves spinning and stagnant in our development. We reflect on what we've accomplished and compare our achievements with those of people close to us, often judging ourselves in a way that adds little value. What can we do to start investing in ways that build momentum and flip the script on this narrative?
In this course, longtime L&D professional and coach Jason Weeman shares his knowledge about ways to successfully invest in your personal and professional development. Jason starts by helping you explore what you really want for yourself by identifying your purpose and possibilities. He then spends time connecting you to what is getting in your way of prioritizing your development and making a shift from planning to action. Finally, Jason shares lessons and tools on how to sustain these changes in behavior by implementing habits aligned with what you really want for yourself.
