Learning styles
Most people are unaware that they have developed learning “habits” over the years, which means that you benefit from some learning experiences more than others. This is your preferred learning style and pinpointing your learning preferences means that you are in a better position to select learning experiences that suit you.
Work values
In any career you develop a set of values around the things you feel passionate about. These are more than just behaviours, they are the profound beliefs that you live by and become known for, and everyone has them! If you take on a job which cuts across your values you will be unhappy and very likely unsuccessful. Understanding your values will define the type of work you’re most suited to and should seek out, as it is here that you have the best chance of being successful.
