A story about who I am
and how curiosity started
The Career Growth Basics System.

Hello. Welcome to my website.

I am Andrea G. Shenkman, the author of The CGB System.

Curiosity is an important aspect of who I am. Since childhood, I've asked questions about how things work. My parents were good at explaining but even better at showing. As a result, I learned at a young age the value of having the right know-how for the job to get the work done.

A good way to explain this is through a story about how my childhood summers were sp

What are the benefits of following curiosity?

Each summer of my childhood, my parents planted a garden.

The fruits and vegetables grown in our backyard were cultivated and picked and preserved by all family members.

This yearly family tradition showed me how:

*Experience expands knowledge.

*Repetition grows expertise.

*Every person has a purpose.

*Every thing has a use.

Here are a couple specifics from my experiences to illustrate this idea.

>Weeds and grass clippings and falling leaves were composted into mulch to spread on the garden before winter. This not only enriched the soil; but it also helped keep the ground warm. My Father called it the garden's blanket.

>There was a large oak tree in our yard. Fallen leaves were raked into the compost pile. Throughout the spring and summer and fall, the acorns that fell off this tree were collected and given to farms for planting.

Yes. We recycled long before recycling was a "thing".

These childhood experiences planted the seed for my interest in looking for possibilities in life.

Everything has a purpose.

I took this perspective with me into my first "grown-up" job at a pharmaceutical company.

I was administrative assistant to the VP of marketing. The marketing department was about generating ideas. It was a creative atmosphere that made the daily work interesting.

All new proposals had to be backed up with credible data. Usually, this material was easily collected from the company library.

Keep in mind that this was before the internet was what it is today.

One day my VP Boss came up with a new idea during a brainstorming session. No one at the meeting was able to contribute credible data for the concept. I volunteered to do research to determine the possibility of going forward to create a project around the concept. I knew there had to be knowledge about this in a library.

I bypassed the in-company library. Having done research in the past, I was sure I needed a larger source of information.

With the help of the Librarian at the local library, I was able to obtain the needed credible material.

I wrote the report. Typed it up. Listed the credible sources.

My report was reviewed at the next brainstorming session. The decision was made to begin the process of creating a marketing campaign around my report.

The result was that I became known as a credible source of information for evaluation of marketing concepts.

I put a new skill on my resume.

And yes. It eventually led to a promotion.

So, what is the reason I am highlighting this here?

Well, there are a few reasons.

FIRST: to emphasize that Career Growth Basics isn't about writing papers and taking tests.

SECOND: Career Growth Basics is a guide that helps build knowledge about using current strengths and abilities to overcome job/career stagnation.

THIRD: Career Growth Basics is about working to increase understanding of how personal skills can be utilized in the creation of a path to the job/career of your dreams.

YES. Personal abilities and skills are still important in the age of AI.

It's my belief it's more important now than ever before.

Individuals who have the skill to think and problem-solve and apply information with care and wisdom put themselves in a position to be in charge of their work growth. 

The Career Growth Basics process gives you the tools to

create a career progress plan leading to career advancement.
