It’s important to refine a career journey with solid footprints to accelerate performance and unleash potential.

We live in a complex business environment with a high degree of unpredictability and ambiguity, change is the new normal with increasing paces. Business leaders and professionals need to broaden their outlook, envision the bigger picture, analyze their strength and weakness, identify decision blind spots and growth bottlenecks, refine their character, mindset, capabilities, experience, etc, develop a unique professional profiles, make "conscious" choices all the time in order to improve problem-solving effectiveness, professionalism, refining their career journey with professional advancement.

Refine character & mindset: We all have some inner strength, perhaps some weakness as well. We experience all kinds of situations good and bad in our lives that require inner strength and moral courage to deal with. Character is based on authenticity, who you are inside, spiritually; mindset shapes who you are cognitively - how you think, decide, act. It is a construct formed in the mind and we know that the mind of every individual is different - cognitive perception, psychological responses, and subsequent manifestations in action will be different for each individual. 

Advancement is a refinement journey starting at the mindset level, with your version of strategy. Character decides who you are; strategy guides you on who you want to be. People with strong character can think originally &; act cohesively and be “who they are '' authentically. People with a growth mindset can think independently with the capability to make a good judgment, decide effectively, solve problems thoroughly, make change progressively.

Refine capabilities: Capability is the ability to do certain things and solve certain problems. Thus, the professional capability maturity assessment is based on the scale and scope of problems you can solve, and the degree of impact you can make on your surroundings. The capability is not the same as certificate, major, skill, or experience, etc, which are “nice to have” ingredients to build professional competency. Linear capabilities are usually based on the skills sharpened via training or years of experience, usually focusing on one specific discipline.

To build the next level of professional capabilities, it’s important to gain insight into the dependency of capabilities. build integral competency with core focus, fluency, coherence. At a high advance level, people are not only fluent in making professional deliveries, but also becoming more influential on innovating, coaching, and driving transformative changes.

Refine professional experience:
People have an accumulation of a set of working and life experience. There is positive or negative experience; experience can either advance or stifle you. Any lessons learned from experience are helpful in future progress. The better way to define experience is “Lessons Learned”; refined from “Experience to Education to Wisdom. “

If lessons are not Learned, then it is not an impressive experience. When experience saturates your mind, you are not open to understanding beyond what you’ve already known. The experiences become a hindrance to future progress when it resists you to intake knowledge, or de-learn and relearn when necessary. Our intentions to gain experience needs to be pure and the aim should be driven towards discovering the truth, driving us towards progress.

Being a digital professional inherently and inextricably links with high levels of “professionalism.” People are always the center of changes. Mindset-attitude-behavior fine tuning conveys authenticity, demonstrates accountability and professionalism. It’s important to refine a career journey with solid footprints to accelerate performance and unleash potential.
