YWell: Leadership and Personal Development Session #1
Personal Development December 10, 2020
Session One of the YWell Leadership and Personal Development Series with Dr. Steve Patty, PhD looks at identifying your own growing edge.
Session One: Identifying Your Growing Edge
Characteristics of a Growing Edge:
- It’s about you, not your team or organization
- It’s not a technical skill to get better, but rather a personal capacity to develop
- It’s oriented towards having an impact or in service to something significant
- It pushes you into a zone of “stretch” or “productive discomfort”
- If you could make progress on your growing edge it would have implications in many areas of your life and/or work
Growing Edge Rules of Thumb – You’re on the right track if:
- You’re not sure how to grow in this area
- It might be a game changer for you
- The thought of working on it holds a little dread
- In discussion with friends/family, they say “yes that’s it!”
Before the Next Session:
- Write down your personal growing edge
- For help with your growing edge, talk with trusted friends, family, and or colleagues.
