Character & Competence


Listen Later

In this episode, we unpack a powerful idea: It’s not always the skills you gain that are important, but the character you develop while gaining those skills that ultimately is the most important.

At first, it sounds a little counterintuitive, right? After all, skills are the tools we use to make an impact and achieve our goals. But what if I told you that the character you build in the process of acquiring those skills is often what truly defines your success?

I dive deep into the concept that it’s not just about mastering a new skill—whether it’s coding, communication, or any technical expertise—it’s about what you learn about yourself during the process. From frustration and self-doubt to perseverance and humility, those moments of struggle are where your character is forged. The hard lessons, the failures, the consistency—it’s all part of the growth that shapes you, both as a professional and a person.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

  • Why character is more important than skills when it comes to long-term success
  • The value of persistence, discipline, humility, and resilience in achieving your goals
  • How struggles and failures during the learning process shape who you become
  • Why the best leaders and successful people have developed their character through their challenges
  • How to shift your mindset from focusing only on skills to valuing the growth of your inner strength

🛠️ Action Step:

As you work toward your goals, ask yourself: What am I becoming through this process? Reflect on how each challenge, failure, and setback is shaping your character. Embrace the discomfort, because that's where your true growth happens.

📌 Perfect For:

  • Aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs
  • Anyone facing a challenge or learning a new skill
  • People striving for personal growth and resilience
  • Those who want to develop the inner strength to push through tough times
