Developing talent and building capability should be ongoing practices for professionals today. A set of professional capabilities can be integrated into unique progressive competencies to produce high performance outcomes in a consistent manner:

Perception: Perception is based on one’s cognitive ability to understand and interpret what they see; perception matters because it affects how you are going to respond to “what happened,” and which influence you would make on the surroundings. Perception can be positive or negative, objective or subjective; Even though everyone lives in actual reality, we experience actual reality through the filter of personal realities. As people’s perception reflects their inner self and which lens they apply to make the judgment of others. One's perception can be altered and influenced by variables and tests introduced to his/her reality. The perception could be outdated if you get stuck in old traditions or conventional wisdoms. Perception is changeable if people are open minded to embrace other minds’ perception, keep updating knowledge, and gain fresh insight.

Having positive thoughts doesn't necessarily change the external world, but it does help you see the good that is already there. Positive perception makes people more optimistic for overcoming difficult realities and leading progressive changes. Thus, it’s important to have a learning attitude and open eyes to understand different perceptions of the world, keep positive energy flow to overcome bias or perception-based obstacles. The more objective one’s perception is, the more effective decisions people can make, and the higher mature problem-solving capabilities they can build for adapting to the ever-evolving changing environment.

Personality: Life's a journey with ups and downs, perception articulates what we see; personality reveals how we interact with the word and accumulate varying experiences. Extroverts are more prone to action than contemplation, and generally, show warm interest in their surroundings. Introverts tend to spend more time on individual thinking or other activities with their own thoughts and feelings. Ambivert is a complementary concept to cover the personality spectrum between the two ends - introverts and extroverts. The world is perfectly fine to have diversity of personality. Professional leaders and professionals wear different personas if necessary, demonstrate ambivert traits for dealing with complex people, things, and circumstances accordingly.

There is one aspect due to physical appearance, but actually, we will know personality only through the action and reactions, attitude and character. Understanding personality traits helps professionals to know themselves or associates better, regarding their thinking or learning style, communication preferences, or problem-solving methodologies or practices. Introversion is turning inward toward the inner world of ideas, feelings, intuitions, sensations, and other facets of subjective perception or experience. Extroverts live almost exclusively in and for the exterior world, accumulating experiences or deriving fulfillment from active interaction with outer reality. Both introverts and extroverts could be great innovators if they have innate talent to generate novel ideas and keep building creative muscles to develop innovation competency.

Professionalism: It doesn’t mean if you had a profession, you would automatically be a well-respected professional with professionalism. Being professional means you present certain skills to do certain work with quality, showing a high level of value, excellence, peculiar and essential character. People with professionalism make a positive influence on surroundings and bring wisdom to the workplace. They are information savvy to make sound judgments; they are skillful to get the work done and deliver high quality results consistently. To deal with frequent disruptions and knowledge abundance, people with professionalism are able to keep learning and building their unique competencies all the time.

High professionalism is a mindset, principle, and discipline. It requires authenticity, quality, capability, credibility and influence. Nobody is perfect, we all have strength and weakness, focus or preference. Being professional means you do what you say and you deliver what you promise.
