How do you define personal growth and what role does it play in your life?

What according to you is growth? I work as a backend developer (fresher) and my manager expects me to complete tasks on time. Though tasks are pretty random and I don't learn much from them. So I am curious to know what ideal growth looks like?

So I might get some hate for this. I know this is weakness and the feedback I've gotten is toughen up. But I've never known how. Is there anyone else whose body and mind had accepted that they're not going to amount to anything but fought their way through it? Can you tell me your story? Or give me any book suggestions?

So! There is a growing trend where professionals reach out to a life and clearer coach or a therapist to deal with all the stuff we juggle today. How much would yiu be willing to invest per month for your personal growth and/or mental well being?

If someone consistently overshadows team achievements by over-promoting themselves in meetings and daily conversations, it might be a red flag. How do you identify such leaders?

I am a Tech PM transitioning to Growth. Why? My belief 👉 Corporate earnings correlate with the revenue you generate. Growth contributes significantly to revenue 📈, unlike Tech PM, which is primarily a support role. Do comment your opinion on this 🤔💭

Hi Grapeviners, **Question for those at higher level (SM+)** How do you perceive your job? Isn't that too demanding, boring and depressing (corporate politics) at the same time considering you're stuck doing it for years/decades on end(that too will intensify more you climb up)? Essentially, I want to know what motivates you apart from you big checks? Is it about the power that you enjoy over people? (i mean, does it really make you feel powerful?) Or is it you can't go reverse because of the status and other factors that are attached with you? Cuz my underlying assumption is that if you're doing a job and earning quite well then it's unlikely that you would get significant time to enjoy that money with your family/ friends or even alone. (pls correct me if I am wrong) Like yesterday I was talking to a client AVP who's been toiling day n night over the weekends from last 2 month just like an unpaid intern. If that's the path to carrer growth, then man, I am already done!😂 -------- Your answers/ perspective would help me understand the point of chasing carrer growth from your lens and decide for myself!! Thanks 🙏

I have read and heard it several times, that in one on one’s with your manager discuss your growth with him, but I never understood it, how to do it in every 1:1 or more than once or twice? Growth is something very simple to me Software Engineer to Senior to Principal to Staff etc And you keep working at next level and you get promoted, but what discuss about it in every 1:1 ?

The way I see it growth = acquisition + activation. Do you agree with this definition?
