I've been thinking about this a lot recently; at a high level, it falls into a few groups; communication, development and technical.

For communication, I'd say 50% of my job is communication and I've definitely room to improve here.
My plan here is to make and take more opportunities to speak at events, engage more in the communities I'm part of both online and in-person and go out of my way to put myself in situations were I have to engage with groups of people to explain an idea.

Development is both my personal development, getting into a habit of setting shorter goals aimed at goals in a 3-5 month space and its also helping others earlier in their career make the initial steps from 0 -1 that I've made only a few years ago.

Lastly, technical - pretty straightforward I guess, I want to improve my technical skills, going to target some of my personal projects towards stacks and areas I'm interested in learning, as well as setting some goals to read some famous technical tombs I've tried to avoid up to now! on the books, probably will start here actually!
