Holiday Edition: Gift Ideas for Professional Growth

Listen Later

Recently, someone reached out to me on LinkedIn and asked if he could purchase one of my training programs as a Christmas gift for his girlfriend. 


I loved that he thought about that! Not for me but for him AND for her! Because giving a gift of self-improvement or professional growth, not only does it demonstrate his support for her career but it is also a gift that will keep giving back. 

As Warren Buffet says "The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself. The more you'll learn, the more you'll earn."

Because of that, I decided to create this special holiday episode on gift ideas for professional growth.  We share a number of great gift ideas that might be exactly what your friend, family member, or partner needs right now.
