I’ve recently introduced several aspects of soft skills, or professionalism concepts. Read more about that here.
Additionally, I have challenged you to outline your personal and professional goals. Read more about the challenge here.
Like the flow of life, the challenge I will present here builds upon previous experience.
Have you been writing things down?
Here’s something that I learned a very long time ago in my career, yet I have learned to implement it personally and it has served me very well:
“If you didn’t document it, it didn’t happen.”
Create a portfolio. That’s it, full stop.
Create a collection of your soft skills, hard skills, productions and professional development.
It’s typical to have a CV, resume, and a few references. It’s not very often that someone has collected a portfolio of personal and professional accomplishments.
The easiest way to stand out is to be yourself. Do you want a great way to demonstrate your personal and professional capabilities? Have a portfolio of those things ripe and ready to go!
Pro Tip: Create a blog.
Did you take on a new task at work today and knock it out of the park? Document it.
It wasn’t until I asked for routine feedback from clientele recently that I realized that 90% of my clientele has been with me 90% of the time that I have been in business.
WOAH! What an accomplishment?!
Yet, I had not been reviewing these metrics and documenting it routinely. I had not been personally tracking my growth in a way that benefits my own self care (encouragement) or professional development (marketing tool).
Now that I know better, I will do better.
Hopefully you will too.
