Learn your craft. Know your craft. Honor your craft.


You decided to become a teacher, a plumber, a painter, a manager, a coach.
You honed some skills, you learned some theory. Is it enough?

The fact is, you are doing what everyone can do: you have acquired a craft. Learning your craft, really knowing it and honoring it, means continuing to develop it. That’s what the essense of a craft is about.
Diligently practice it, keep your knowledge and skills updated, research, pursue your constant improvement and growth.

And you may find that: 
  • The more time you dedicate to developing your craft, the more you learn what you are capable of.
  • You will develop more credibility as a skilled person/ professional.
  • The more you learn, the more you can teach others.
  • The more honed your craft is, the more you will stand out in your field.
  • The further you go, the more you can create, because your understanding of your ability has grown.
  • Your understanding of how things and processes work will improve.
  • The greater the legacy you will leave behind.
