Bridging the Growth Gap

Recently, we provided our Emerging Leader Development training to a group of 15 or so managers and supervisors.  One of my (Cindy) favorite parts we’ll land on next week with this group is on the topic of having a growth plan.  With this, we explain some of the gaps each of us face as we step out to grow.  One of these being The Assumption Gap adapted from the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth.

The Assumption Gap says, “I assume I will automatically grow.”  I believe most people have good intentions and assume those good intentions will become great deeds done.  But how many times have you intended to call a friend, family member, or co-worker who had been sick or could use an encouraging word, only to let time pass and your good intention never happened?

It’s no different with personal growth.  Unless we schedule time for growth it won’t happen in our day to day journey and we can find ourselves drifting along in life with no real growth. 

Even if it is just 10 minutes, go ahead and commit to a set time of growth for yourself.  And maybe those other great intentions you have too!  Scheduling time for what is important in life bridges the gaps from where you are to where you want to be.

Where are you headed now?

Where do you want to be two years from now?  Intentional action will get you there but it does take thought and it does take action!  And here’s access to a complimentary course if you’d like to experience more on applying intentional action to your life.  Plus, the exact steps to creating your own professional development plan.   If we can help just let us know!
