Whether it\u2019s reaching a new level of positioning at one\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.5wpr.com\/new\/jobs-in-public-relations\/\">job or working<\/a> up to owning a business as an entrepreneur, we all have our own definitions of what it means to \u201cmake it\u201d. One common pitfall that many fall into as their careers progress, however, is that of misplaced confidence and feeling that there is nothing left to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider the example of a Nike executive, Vanessa Garcia-Brito. As the vice president of purpose communications for the prominent sporting goods brand, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garcia-Brito says<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> she treats her job as any professional athlete does and trains for it accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does this mean, exactly? \u201cYou need grit, courage; you need to be optimistic and flexible,\u201d Garcio-Brito described in a recent interview. This type of mentality means that there is no finish line, no end of the road where one feels as if they\u2019ve \u201cmade it\u201d. For Garcio-Brito, the training and education to best prepare herself for her job is never ending.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an important takeaway for anyone who pursues excellence in their career. While some may reach a certain executive level or obtain a promotion and feel as if they are at the top of the food chain, the reality is that our world changes quickly and there is never a lack of opportunity for education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some may scoff at the idea of continuing education, this show of humility \u2014 proof that an individual can remove their ego and feeling as if they\u2019ve \u201cmade it\u201d \u2014 can do much more for a professional over time. Continuing to bolster existing knowledge by learning new skills or simply by staying abreast of topics of relevance to that person\u2019s line of work are both forms of continuing education. And this knowledge can help a person\u2019s job security and ability to continue to make strides in his or her career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who choose to remain stagnant and feel as if they\u2019re at the top of the food chain are more susceptible to loss of respect from those around them. Often, a refusal to continue one\u2019s education in some form is seen as a sign of arrogance or, at least, a lack of humility. This can be disheartening to others and can lead to fallout or loss of trust over time. And for those concerned about job stability \u2014 for every aging executive, there is a younger, hungrier version just waiting for the right moment to strike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying \u201crelevant\u201d is a loose term, and it means something different to everyone. However in an industry that is constantly seeing updates and changes, it\u2019s important to maintain a working knowledge of the current state of affairs. This allows professionals to pivot quickly and to have the ability to make decisions based on trends within the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuing education doesn\u2019t only refer to taking a class or obtaining a second degree. Continuing education can apply to staying on top of current headlines, learning about new platforms or software offerings, and keeping up with one\u2019s professional network. All of this works to create a more complete professional who is up to date on current trends and knows how to take their work to the next level according to this always-updating knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of us are constantly in search of that proverbial feeling of \u201cI made it\u201d.
