Maturity in the Workplace - Part 3

A self-transforming mind is a mindset that can adapt to changing circumstances, challenge its own assumptions, and seek out new perspectives. It is a mindset that values learning, growth, and diversity. A self-transforming mind is not satisfied with the status quo, but rather strives to improve itself and the world around it.


But how can we develop a self-transforming mind? Here are some tips that can help you cultivate this mindset:



Seek feedback.

One of the best ways to learn and grow is to ask for feedback from others, especially those who have different views and experiences from you. Feedback can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, as well as expose you to new ideas and perspectives. Be open and receptive to feedback, and use it as an opportunity to improve yourself.


Reflect on your experiences.

Another way to learn and grow is to reflect on your own experiences, both positive and negative. Reflection can help you make sense of what happened, why it happened, and what you can do differently in the future. Reflection can also help you connect your experiences to your values, goals, and purpose.


Challenge yourself.

A self-transforming mind is not afraid of challenges but rather embraces them as opportunities to learn and grow. Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone, try new things, and take on difficult tasks. Challenge yourself to question your own assumptions, beliefs, and biases, and to seek out evidence that contradicts them.


Learn from others.

A self-transforming mind is not isolated, but rather connected to others who can enrich its understanding and perspective. Learn from others who have different backgrounds, cultures, opinions, and skills from you. Learn from others who have achieved what you aspire to achieve, or who have overcome what you struggle with. Learn from others who can inspire you, motivate you, and support you.


Keep learning.

A self-transforming mind is not stagnant, but rather dynamic and evolving. Keep learning new things, whether it is a new skill, a new language, a new hobby, or a new subject. Keep learning from different sources, such as books, podcasts, courses, or mentors. Keep learning throughout your life, as learning is a lifelong process.


A self-transforming mind is a valuable asset in today's complex and uncertain world. It can help you cope with change, solve problems, innovate solutions, and achieve your goals. It can also help you become a better person, a better leader, and a better citizen. Developing a self-transforming mind is not easy, but it is possible with practice and persistence.
