Abhishek Ratna said, “A gap in skills and abilities reveal a golden opportunity!”

Sunday Adelaja said, “Your calling should be a pointer for your skill
development.”

Justin Ho said, “Your skill can be either an asset or a liability.”
Here are some motivating tips to improve your skills:

1. Find out what you are good at.

First, you need to identify what are the skills that you already
possess—especially those that you want to improve. No matter how
many skills you have, you need to pick your topmost expertise so you
can focus on enhancing them.

2. Do not hide them.

Being shy is one of the reasons why a skill is usually left forgotten
in a corner. If you want to improve your skills, then you need to come
out of your closet and use them whenever and wherever needed. You
need to get used to using them around people so that they can be
beneficial to yourself and others.

3. Be involved in activities that will require them.

The more you use your skills, the more that they are honed. For this
reason, do not miss opportunities that will allow you to highlight what
you got there. For instance, if you are good at playing instruments, then
be involved in a band that plays in events.

4. Enroll in short courses and training that can enhance them.

Look for short courses or workshops that will not only give you a
certificate of completion but will train you to be more effective in
handling your skills too. These can supply you with fresh knowledge
about your specialties, which can help you level up.

5. Keep using them.

What you do not use, you will eventually lose. If you do not use
your skills for a long time, there is a tendency that you will forget about
them. Therefore, keep your skills active and growing by constantly
using them, whether professionally or just for your satisfaction.
