Do you need to be like Cristiano Ronaldo to unlock your potential?

Develop your potential Ugh, so much pressure!

Okay.

So, why do you have to be like Cristiano Ronaldo to develop your own potential?

Well, first of all, I love this question.I associate Cristiano Ronaldo with two words.

The first one is talent and the second one is work.

Even though being considered by many the best of the world,he is the first to arrive at practice and the last to leave.

And to me that's what hard work looks like,someone who is resilient and never gives up.

Therefore, it explains very well how potential and talent alone are not enough.

And, if you allow me a sport analogy,not only because I love sport and running,but also because I believe sports allows us to draw analogies that translate great to the workplace.

There are three The first one is self-diagnosis or self-awareness.

Both athletes and professionals need to know their areas of strengths,their areas of expertise.

The second one is about setting ambitious goals,healthy, of course, but still ambitious.

Lastly, the third thing, I'd say is recovery,the importance of mental health.

After a big game, Cristiano Ronaldo,like all the other players, spends a lot of time recovering.

And I think that sometimes, in the workplace,we forget that part.

After a big meeting, a big project,we forget to stop and recharge batteries.

So, it's something we should learn from sport as well.

In sports.For me, another important part is the adaptation,the ability to adapt.

I'm going to set up a hypothetical scenario Let's imagine that tomorrow the rules of soccer changes and the game is played completely different.

Maybe Cristiano Ronaldo would no longer be the best.

Because if the rules of the game changes,he might not have other skills that are required.

Perhaps, whoever is considered the best in the world will be the one who adapts the fastest,who acquires new skills.

Therefore, the concept of adaptation will be very important.

Although for me, Cristiano Ronaldo would have a good chance of remaining the best in the world.

The simple fact that he has learning agility,that ability to learn,to remain motivated,to care about his goals.

Cristiano has a very large team of nutritionists, personal trainers,coaches, but he is the main responsible for his own development.

And I find that very, very inspiring Without a doubt And there is a concept that is also associated to Cristiano Ronaldo,that he has constant mentality of growth mindset, of growth.

And the idea that talent is developed,that it requires time and dedication to that purpose, to that goal.

Without a doubt.I believe that the concept of growth mindset, or growth mentality,has gained and is getting more attention in organizations,because it provides us autonomy,autonomy to grow,to obtain new skills and continue growing and develop new areas of expertise.

Therefore, that part as the collaborator's part,Cristiano Ronaldo is a collaborator,who invests in his development,doesn't wait for Human Resources to knock on his door to tell him the next step on his career,or his manager saying, what is the next formation he has to do,but rather a person who seeks opportunities for development.

And I see this happening very clearly in L’Oreal through the mobility program and internal mobility,where workers have the chance to try in different sectors, different paths,and is perceived in the organization that willingness to meet for a coffee to try to meet new people,get to know other sectors, and when that happens there's a low turnover,and the feeling of commitment increases.
