Having a successful career means continually learning and adapting to rapidly changing environments. You must manage and build on your intellectual capital and adapt to new challenges in your industry. You need to develop your capacity to self-assess honestly and be willing to learn new skills and concepts.
You simply can’t do that alone. You may think you know what’s best for you in your career or business. But coaching yourself is like the blind leading the blind. You can’t possibly know what you don’t know.
