Shun the Comfort Zone

Shun the comfort zone, say yes to new beginnings.

When you seek constant professional evolution from within, you commit to change, not accepting less than you deserve, and to becoming a better version of yourself. It isn’t always easy to commit to this evolution in our pillar-to-post lives but when self-motivation is low, surround yourself with like-minded people. As they chase a better future, they will inspire you to stay true to your mission.  

A by-product of this evolution is you have the gumption to view your past decisions in a new light with the maturity to make amends for course correction. When others see your change is well-intentioned and geared for good, they embrace it readily. This habit of questioning old choices when faced with new knowledge forms a core tenet at Rayden Interactive.  

Stasis or complacency in our skill development is a trap we all must avoid in our careers. But there are some fool-proof ways of fighting professional/purpose stagnation, and the most important ones are nurturing curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. At Rayden, we have many initiatives worth mentioning:  

· Cross-functional teams band together to solve business problems.  

· Each unit has the flexibility to choose its path of functional upskilling.  

· We have a robust Internal Job Posting policy that leads to the cross-pollination of talent.  

· Drop Everything and Learn (DEAL) – one hour per week to amplify the learning game as per your choice.  

I’ve seen that improving professional capabilities also leads to better performance, improved self-confidence, contentment, and job satisfaction – all excellent reasons to never settle, wouldn’t you agree?
