Having well-designed training programs is not enough. What truly matters is that these programs generate positive, meaningful, and lasting experiences in the lives of participants. Beyond the quality of a course or the technology behind it, learning takes on real value when it becomes an experience that transforms behaviors, expands perspectives, and strengthens competencies.

​

For this reason, we must break away from the belief that the training or learning department is solely responsible for charting our development path. Each of us must take ownership of our own growth, recognizing that the training area can be a powerful ally, but never the only architect of our future.

​

This book is precisely about that: a reflection and a practical guide to self-manage our own development journey. Inside, you will find ideas, recommendations, and examples that will help you build your path—leveraging the competencies you gain at work, while also focusing on those you must cultivate through personal initiative.

​

The book also provides a realistic and practical look at how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping every profession. When people ask me which jobs will be affected by AI, my answer is simple: “All of them… absolutely all.” This book is not meant to create fear, but to inspire you to see AI as a powerful tool that, if embraced wisely, can unlock your potential and accelerate both professional and personal goals.

​

The COVID-19 pandemic served as a painful reminder of how fragile our work and social structures can be. It forced us to transform entire programs into virtual and hybrid formats, to reinvent teaching methods, and to rethink our priorities. That experience taught us that adaptability is not optional but an essential skill. Today, with the rise of AI, we face a new turning point where adaptability, innovation, and self-management will define our success.

​

This book is written for business owners, executives, HR leaders, training professionals, entrepreneurs, and professionals who are moving toward the creation of a Corporate University. Yet, it goes beyond organizational structures: it is meant to remind us that our Development Path must never rely solely on others, but on our own decisions and personal commitment.

​

At the same time, it calls us to embrace the shared responsibility of supporting the development of our teams, building learning cultures where every individual finds the space and tools to grow. True leadership is not only about building your own path, but also about guiding and empowering others to shape and walk theirs.
