What is a self-grower?


Self-growers are life-long learners who are focused, highly motivated, responsible and take ownership of their own learning process. They are committed to their success towards their life vision through hard work, persistence, and self-efficacy. They seek challenges to develop self-growth: take risks to get outside their comfort zone, embrace failures, seek feedback and use self-assessment. In their efforts, they prepare, engage, and collaborate.


Self-growers communicate, ask questions, think critically and write and share insights publicly. They effectively plan and prioritize to manage their time and resources and disciplined when working their plans. They approach each day positive and intellectually curious, and supportive of others. They apply their learning and expertise in new contexts by using higher order thinking to contextualize and generalize their knowledge to solve complex problems. They develop and grow without limit to realize their life vision and potential.
