Selecting From a Toolbox
I spent the last week diving into a new environment, and really getting my hands dirty. It was all fun, lots of having my nose to the grindstone. Just a set of great feelings, vibes, and people around me in general. It makes things all tons of fun, effortlessly.
In working through many of the tasks that I needed to, I realized that being able to pull from a personal toolbox is invaluable to performance.
What exactly is a “personal toolbox”? I define it as the materials, relationships, and experiences on which you can call on in order to conceptualize, envision, and ultimately, execute. While I’m still pretty young, I’m already feeling the effects of what I’ve been able to learn.
I won’t lie - there’s no way I’d define myself as seasoned / experienced or anything like that. There are those folks that do exist, but I’m not one of them. I’ve either read, been through, or seen everything that I currently know to this point.
So, I suppose my point is, if you are in a position right now where you don’t feel as though you are contributing or part of something exciting, take another quick glance around you. You may find that you are building an solid personal toolbox of your own, that will only continue to help.
