How you think you should develop your career:
• Wait to have time to "work on your career"
• Take on every project that comes your way
• Attend every possible training
How you actually develop your career:
• Integrate career development into your existing projects
• Look for win-win opportunities that help you grow AND create impact
• Attend trainings that you can put to use
The difference? Working "in" your career versus working "on" your career.
The most successful professionals don't separate career development from their day job.
They make every day count twice: once for results, once for growth.
PS: How do you incorporate growth into your role?
