From Potential To Performance: A Recap of Our Recent Webinar
Shock Your Potential
Working with businesses and professionals to achieve their full potential in leadership, sales and customer experiences.
As the webinar kicked off, Martin Wanjohi's words resonated deeply: "You can’t measure potential, but you can measure performance." This profound statement set the stage for an enlightening session where we explored the pivotal role of curiosity in transforming potential into tangible performance. Guided by Michael Sherlock, we delved into the six pillars that form the foundation of professional excellence.
The Six Pillars of Crafting Your Path to Professional Excellence
1. Self-Reflection
How often do you pause to reflect on your career? In our session, participants admitted that self-reflection was a rare practice. Yet, this process is crucial. Self-reflection allows us to scrutinize our work habits, responses, and underlying motivations. It shines a light on both our potential and the obstacles hindering our performance. A simple yet powerful question to ask yourself each morning is: "How did I perform yesterday?"
2. Self-Direction
Building on the insights gained from self-reflection, self-direction involves setting a clear path for improvement. Imagine giving yourself the same candid feedback your boss would if they were aware of your progress. This internal dialogue is essential for staying on track and making deliberate choices to enhance your performance.
3. Self-Adjustment
As you learn more about your work patterns and behaviors, it's important to adjust and align your daily plans with your goals. Creating new habits and fine-tuning your approach can significantly boost your productivity and bring you closer to your performance targets.
4. Self-Assessment
Midday is a perfect time for a quick self-assessment. Reflect on what went well in the morning and what didn't. With this newfound awareness, you can make informed adjustments for the afternoon, ensuring continuous improvement throughout your day.

5. Be Visible
In the digital age, visibility is key. Make a conscious effort to show up in the spaces where you want to be noticed. Participate actively in virtual environments by asking questions and sharing your insights. Visibility enhances your professional presence and opens doors to new opportunities.
6. Be Brave
Take action. Embrace the challenges that come your way and don't shy away from asking questions. Being brave allows you to seize opportunities and expand your horizons.
The Difference Between Self-Reflection and Self-Judgment
It's crucial to distinguish between self-reflection and self-judgment. Self-reflection and self-assessment are about understanding and improving oneself, whereas self-judgment and self-criticism are often harsh and unproductive. Our focus should be on constructive growth, not on undermining our confidence.
Conclusion
Our webinar delved into the importance of curiosity and continuous self-improvement in achieving professional excellence. By embracing these six pillars, you can navigate your career path with clarity, confidence, and a commitment to ongoing development.
