Personal Development and Professional Growth January 6, 2025 | Addis Ababa
On January 6, 2025, a thought-provoking Monday Knowledge Sharing Session was held, focusing on the theme "Personal Development and Professional Growth." The session was led by Engineer Feleke Woldeyohannes, a dedicated staff member from the Contract Administration Directorate. His presentation was aimed at encouraging employees to focus on self-improvement and the integration of personal growth with professional responsibilities.
Engineer Feleke emphasized the significance of continuous self-development in achieving success in both personal and professional spheres. He highlighted how an individual’s commitment to improving themselves—whether through skill enhancement, attitude adjustments, or expanding knowledge—directly contributes to better work performance and overall productivity. According to Feleke, "When we work on ourselves, we naturally enhance our ability to serve our roles with greater competence and passion."
Feleke also pointed out that personal development is not an isolated effort but one that can be fostered through collaboration and learning from colleagues. He encouraged participants to adopt a proactive approach to self-improvement and utilize the resources around them, such as feedback from peers and mentors, to continuously evolve.
In his conclusion, Engineer Feleke reminded everyone that personal growth is a lifelong journey and that the key to achieving professional excellence lies in the willingness to invest in oneself—both in skills and in character.
