Am I Growing Complacent Currently

- Growth/Future alignment: Have I acquired valuable insights or skills? Are these skills aligned with my future goals?
- Challenge: Have there been days when I was thinking about a work problem in the shower so profoundly that I forgot if I used the soap or not?

Reinventing myself
What, specifically, do you want to learn? The first step in developing your board is a rigorous self-assessment. Where are you headed professionally, and what skills do you need to get there?
Whom do you respect most? Once you’ve developed your list of skills, write down the people you know and respect who possess them. Think broadly — they could be peers, senior leaders, or even (like Phillippi Ryan’s mentor) interns or junior employees.
How can you arrange to spend more time with them?
How can you make the relationship reciprocal?
How are you adapting to the new reinvention curve?
How do you stay comptetitive and relevant?
