YWell: Identifying Your Growing Edge
Characteristics of a Growing Edge:
It’s about you, not your team or organization
It’s not a technical skill to get better, but rather a personal capacity to develop
It’s oriented towards having an impact or in service to something significant
It pushes you into a zone of “stretch” or “productive discomfort”
If you could make progress on your growing edge it would have implications in many areas of your life and/or work
Growing Edge Rules of Thumb - You’re on the right track if:
You’re not sure how to grow in this area
It might be a game changer for you
The thought of working on it holds a little dread
In discussion with friends/family, they say "yes that's it!"
Before the Next Session:
Write down your personal growing edge
For help with your growing edge, talk with trusted friends, family, and or colleagues.
In partnership with the YMCA of Canada, Dr. Steve Patty is producing a Leadership and Personal Development Series, taking viewers through seven parts on how to grow and nurture your personal leadership. How do you maximize your ability to move forward on the things that really matter in your life? How do you lead yourself? In each of the seven episodes, Dr. Patty will walk you through one key idea and invite you to try an action step.
