Anything will do: mini 
or online courses, lectures, 
conferences, etc. This will 
take you to a whole new 
professional level. Keep 
in mind, however, that you 
need to incorporate this new 
knowledge into your daily 
life. Otherwise, everything 
you’ve learned will be quickly 
forgotten and you will have 
wasted your time.

Other areas
for growth, in addition
to professional 
development.
You can turn personal growth 
into a hobby. Learn to take 
pleasure in educating your-
self. To do this, identify prior-
ity areas that are both useful 
and exciting. Here are a few 
more areas for self-education 
and investment:
Learn
foreign languages. 
Even if you are a programmer who 
spends 24 hours in front of a screen, 
speaking several languages is one 
of the best competitive advan-
tages out there. In today’s world, 
knowledge of at least one foreign 
language is essential. This will 
enable you to work for foreign 
companies and travel around the 
world more freely. That’s a double 
bonus.
Improve
your communication 
skills. 
To get to know successful people 
and benefit from their experience, 
you must be able to establish 
a good rapport and speak persua-
sively. This is especially important 
if you plan to work with people 
face-to-face.
