Growth is the ongoing, intentional process of becoming who you were created to be. This applies to growing as a person, as a leader, in relationships, in professional growth, or in other areas of life. Intentional growth is a process of asking questions, finding answers, and taking action. Where and who are you? What do you hope to become? What is the gap that needs to be filled between who you currently are and who you hope to be? What steps of learning and development begin to fill that gap? What action do you need to take? How will you be held accountable? How will you assess your progress? How will you identify the next step or area for growth?
Growth is an ongoing process because we never reach an end state on this earth. We can make continual progress (or more likely, sporadic progress) but we never reach completion or perfection. There are always opportunities to grow further or in new ways to become more of who we were created to be.
What are the areas of growth on which you need to be working? What is your process for growing?
