Competency isn’t just about what you can do — it’s about how you show up while doing it. At The Buck Approach, we see competency as the combination of skill, confidence, and curiosity. It’s what allows people to perform effectively, adapt to challenges, and continually grow.
The Three Pillars of Competency
1. Skill: The foundation of competency lies in your abilities. Skills can be learned, practised, and refined over time. Investing in skill development ensures you have the tools to succeed.
2. Confidence: Competence without confidence is limited. Believing in your abilities allows you to apply your skills decisively and take on challenges with resilience.
3. Curiosity: The drive to learn, explore, and ask questions keeps you evolving. Curiosity ensures that competency is never static — it grows with experience and insight.
Developing Competency in Practice
Building competency is an intentional process:
Reflect: Understand your current strengths and areas for development.
Learn: Seek knowledge, training, and experiences that expand your skills.
Apply: Put learning into action to build practical experience.
Feedback: Use constructive input to refine skills, boost confidence, and fuel curiosity.
Competency Drives Growth
Competent individuals are capable, confident, and adaptable. Competency doesn’t just benefit the individual — it elevates teams, strengthens organisations, and creates a culture of excellence.
Build Skills, Confidence, and Belief
At The Buck Approach, we guide individuals and teams to develop true competency — equipping them to perform with skill, act with confidence, and continually grow through curiosity. Competency isn’t just about being capable; it’s about being unstoppable.
