Taking proactive ownership of your development

Do you ever find yourself waiting for someone else to point you toward your next growth opportunity? When learning feels like something that has to be assigned, it can quietly stall your development and make it harder to keep building momentum in your role. Over time, that can leave you feeling stuck instead of steadily moving forward. In this course, you'll learn why waiting can slow your growth, how treating learning as assigned work becomes a trap, how to use a notice-and-choose loop to identify your next learning step, and how to keep the habit going.
