Your "thereβs room for me to grow" statement made me recall this: Whenever I'm asked to fill out a survey on someone's job performance, I (almost) never give them a 10 out of 10 (or 5 out of 5) because that suggests that there's no room for improvement. And, the fact is, there's ππππππ room for improvement. When I worked for Circuit City, back in the 1990s, the company made sure and recognize the achievers each and every month, then again at the end of the year. It felt good being recognized for doing a good job. On those months and/or years where I didn't receive an award, I remember thinking, "Maybe I should work harder, smarter, and more resourcefully". It apparently paid off as I have a nice collection of awards including my favorite (which you will appreciate) a unique "Innovator Of The Year". No one before or since ever got one of those. I'll be happy to share the entire story next time we head out on a long walk.

Absolutely, there's no point in moving on if you feel you've reached your ceiling. I can't wait for the talk. π
