Experience only counts when we consciously understand and internalize the lessons learnt from all the failures and successes along the way.
As “to learn and not to do is not to learn,” a simple test for whether we actually gained experience on a project is to ask ourselves – did that experience change how I operate or make decisions?
The difference between yes and no is the difference between stasis and growth.
And, the conviction in the yes is a good indicator of the steepness of the growth curve.
