Catalyst
he mission of
getting people to soar like the golf ball, high and long.
Career growth = Real individual growth ± Environmental aspects
very few opportunities for growth.
The catalyst of career growth tends to be real individual growth
Experience is not gained
automatically; it has to be catalysed.
Grow your skills, your knowledge, your decision-making ability, your judgement, your influence on others, your communication skills, et
We do not focus on deserving more by increasing our capabilities, our skills
and so on
Put all our energies into real individual growth, towards deserving more, then we will experience greater career growth.
‘Tu karm kar, phal ki chinta mat kar’. Loosely translated, it means, ‘Focus on the deeds, don’t worry about the results.’
Learning Model
Time spent at work is not
equal to experience
The reason we believe that the time spent walking and sleeping is not experience is because we perform these activities in a highly mechanical/thoughtless way
Tell me, what experience do you have?
This establishes that it is not the activity that determines whether something counts as experience or not, but the way in which it is done
The presence of a learning model as a catalyst determines whether the activity becomes experience or not.
Hence, our implicit understanding
of experience is about how it enables us to respond to future situations
I like to define experience as the algorithm that we have built in ourselves doing what we have done. You could also think of it as the software in you, the program in you. As we do stuff, we are continuously adding to the software, the program, trying to make it better, and that algorithm/software/program is our experience. That is what responds to situations in the future
‘What
could I have done better?’
The TMR process is the crucial learning model that converts time into
experience
Target, Measure and Review (TMR) model
The presence of the learning model and the will to want to improve—these are the two drivers that the athlete has in walking that you and I don’t. Hence, it becomes experience for the athlete, but a mindless activity for us.
