What IS Self-Growth?

Simply stated, it's the desire to become a better version of yourself every day. It's a life-long process to improve performance in all aspects of life, resulting in an ever-increasing quality of life.

Before stepping in to lead us, Auston Van Slyke participated in the 2022 Self-Growth Institute. Here's a bit of what he had to say about that experience:


"The self-growth institute helped me understand myself, who I want to become, and how I need to grow in order to meet my personal goals. This has helped my marriage, my productivity at work, and enabled me to take control of my free time. I wrote over 50 pages during the institute that I still use today when setting goals and making my weekly plans."

Where They Are

A philosophy professor friend once told me about the greatest regret he had from all his years in the classroom. Early in an Intro to Philosophy course, he tasked his students with writing an essay in response to a prompt he shared. One of the papers got a C and my friend wrote “This is recycled Plato” across the top of the paper. Later in the semester, he realized that this student...

The Trap of Unconscious Competence?


My mother used to call and ask me to come over and fix her computer. While she could tell when there was something wrong with it (“It says it can’t find the printer but the printer is right where it always is!”), she didn’t have the knowledge or skills that fixing it required. I did, as I had been working with computers since my first Commodore 64 crawled from the primordial sludge of 20th century technology.

Each time she needed my help, I was able to take care of the problem and get things running smoothly again. She would always ask me to explain to her how I knew what was wrong and how I knew what to do to fix it. Those were uncomfortable questions for me because I was working on the basis of many years troubleshooting and fixing hardware and software. I could fix her PC but what I couldn’t do was EXPLAIN to her how I knew what to...

Monthly Self-Growth Tip

Asking for Help


Assume that most everyone wants to be helpful to others. In fact, if you explore your most powerful relationships, you will likely see that many of them shifted from you and the other person being acquaintance to being friends when one of you asked the other for help. People get a lot of return from helping others and if they don’t want to help (either because they don’t believe they can help or the timing isn’t good), they will let you know.

Be direct and simply ask, “I wonder if you would be willing to help me?” If you know you’re willing to help others in the future (paying it forward), then you can think of this as investing in yourself so you can help more people in the future! (The biggest difference between asking for help and taking advantage of someone is that taking advantage is asking for help when you can do the thing yourself.)
