Use your everyday work as your classroom. Got a team meeting today? That’s a chance to build your communication skills. Customer calls tomorrow? You can use those to hone your business development pitch.
You can find blogs from subject matter experts on almost any topic, not to mention a nearly infinite supply of YouTube videos. All told, you have a lifetime of learning at your fingertips. Find spare moments to read up on the skill and keep a folder where you can begin to classify the skill into different subcomponents.
Once you’ve achieved one goal, move on to the next. Move through all the goals until you’ve mastered one component of the skill. Then move to the next component and repeat the same process. With a skill such as communication, you can devote an entire year to exploring and refining your skills. Be sure to refer to your efforts in your performance management conversations so your manager understands what you’re working on and can support you.
When you use the activities you’re already engaged in as the forum for building new skills, you take control of your own development. You aren’t vulnerable to training being defunded. You aren’t overwhelmed by adding tasks to your already overflowing calendar. You aren’t losing accountability by abdicating the responsibility for your growth and development. You’re nourishing yourself with a steady diet of learning.
And then you’re entitled to a little dessert. By that I mean once you’ve learned what you can from free resources, applied new concepts and built new skills, and done the difficult work of seeking out and applying feedback, you’ve earned access to a formal learning program and you shouldn’t be sheepish about asking for it. The good news is that with the investment you’ve already made, you’ll be in a great position to benefit from what you learn.
