A few people from my team at work have left the company this month, and we've been doing an Ask-Me-Anything session for them on their last day to have a fun chat and gain unshared wisdom.

When it came to my turn to ask a question, I asked everyone the same question: "Apart from all the technological and career growth, what was one thing that contributed to your personal growth?"

I was particularly interested in this question because the regular expectation from the workplace is learning the trade, levelling up your relevant skills and moving up the corporate ladder.

Interestingly, this has brought up a variety of answers, like travelling to other countries for work and meeting people from various cultures, learning to be calmer and control anger, and so on.

Learnings or habits and behaviour changes that come in as a side benefit of your regular work are fantastic because they can flow over to the other parts of your life outside work.

For example, the guy who learned to manage his anger can now have a better temperament at home and with people outside work, too.

Which brings us to a fun activity to do before this year ends:

Spend some time this weekend or during your holiday break to identify how you've grown this year or the past few years at your work or professional projects outside of the traditional career growth.

See if you can take some of those lessons outside of work and apply them to other parts of your life.

You might be surprised how much untapped wisdom and life lessons you have within you already.

Often, being a generalist and playing the field before you settle down on a career path can be beneficial in the long run.
