S.E.I.Z.E.
My personal goals for the upcoming year involve more
training and education. No matter what age or stage in your
professional career, I don’t think there’s a time when you can sit
back and say “Well that’s it, I’ve arrived, and I know all I need to know.”
So I’m kick-starting myself. There is no aspect of both my personal or
professional life that is more important than learning.
My new personal watchword for the year is S.E.I.Z.E
My co-workers and customers deserve the best from me. I want results
and yes, I deserve them also.
Search for training opportunities. Don’t be picky at first. Brainstorm or
make lists by subject or availability.
Evaluate training opportunities. Is it appropriate Does it further
company or individual goals Can it do both
Initiate preliminary research, study, or find other ways to familiarize
yourself with the scope and benefits of the training opportunities
available. Ask yourself how it will advance your goals and your company’s
goals to pursue these opportunities.
Zone in on the right training for you. If you’ve done your homework
right, it will benefit you and your company.
Encourage yourself. You can do it. You have the abilities. Encourage your
company to expand the training agenda. Address financial considerations
or other concerns that hinder the consideration or development of
training. TAKE THE LEAD ON YOUR OWN TRAINING. Don’t
assume others will do it for you.
