As in most things, life is about seeking to understand first, before you seek to be understood, and whilst nobody is responsible for your personal growth but you, that does not mean you have to try and understand your journey or your potential growth all by yourself, you do however need to own its trajectory.
The average sales person in the UK, that calls themselves a professional, has only ever purchased one book on sales or a related subject. Don't lose sight of your growth just because you have talent, its too important, and talent alone will not always smash those glass ceilings!
Always remember, this life will only give you what you are prepared to take from it, so why not upskill and take it all!
Commit yourself to lifelong learning, because the most valuable thing you will ever have is your mind and what you fill it with.
You are never the finished article and only a fool would believe so, learn and grow every day and contribute positively to the people around you.
It takes tremendous courage, especially if you are an experienced person in your field, to ask for help or even accept it. Learning and growing from others is not a weakness, it's exactly how all the other successful people have got to where they are.
Its ok to feel vulnerable, let down your guard and let the learning in.
A comfort zone is a wonderful place to be, but nothing ever grows there.
Do not sit around waiting to grow confident about your abilities, because it is not confidence that will get you by in this world, even though people are drawn to it like a moth to the flame.
Confidence is a learned behaviour that is so often presented badly to the world when it comes across as arrogant or overbearing. Even if confidence was a real thing it would still not gain you anything in real terms, because it is not confidence that wins wars and conquers mountains, it is action, and whilst bravery is not the absence of fear but rather action in the face of it, this also works exactly the same way with confidence, you can always choose to take action, even without confidence.
Work hard to give yourself the best skill set that you can, and then take extreme action with it, because this is how success is achieved.
