Personal mastery refers to successfully
and consistently working toward our own goals to become as efficient and
effective as possible. This is one of those aspects of life that is really
about the journey we are on, rather than the destination, since we don’t stop
learning or pursuing once we reach our goals. As part of the lifelong learning
process, we set new goals and keep going. We also recognize that in order to
help grow the organizations that we work with, we must also learn and grow
ourselves, and become better at what we do.
The term “mastery” refers to full
command or understanding of a subject. Personal mastery, then, means that we
have a great deal of understanding of what our own strengths are, as well as
where we want to go.
If you are responsible for also leading
people in the workplace, it is important to model our own commitment to seeking
personal mastery. That means that we must demonstrate our commitment to
learning and to setting goals and achieving them. This approach can also help you
to support your staff in identifying their own vision, overcoming gaps in
knowledge and performance, and finding a way to achieve their objectives.
Self-studying is a useful tool to enhance any learning experience, and when mastered, students young and old reap the benefits. Whether applied to studying for an AP exam or exploring new material independently due to sheer curiosity, self-studying can lead to new opportunities academically and professionally. Remember to utilize the world around you! Technology has put knowledge at your fingertips, so take advantage of all the easily accessible and low-cost tools at your disposal.
Self-study, when done correctly, is a very effective learning tool, so it can be helpful when used to prepare for a test or learn an entirely new subject matter on your own. Here are some tips for practicing successful self-studying:
