Pursue Professional Growth, Not Competition
Professional development can seem unnecessary. Perhaps there are no new skills you want to learn, you feel your previous professional growth is sufficient, or the professional development courses seem unhelpful.
However, professional growth, learning leadership skills, and having career goals can all set you up for a successful career through self-improvement.
Professional growth is an ongoing process, and success is measured as you see self-improvement, not when you feel you are doing better than your peers.
