The inverted pyramid refers to the three dimensions of professional growth:

- competence
- responsibility
- maturity

The spiral shaped arrow climbing round it refers to your own personal growth whereby your insight deepens, your experience enlarges, and your horizon widens. Should that spiral become a flattened circle whereby everything remains unchanged, it is time for a quantum leap and to take a new step in your career.

At the bottom, the rippling water refers to the drive to 'infect' others with enthusiasm and guts, based on your own experience, and this way to help them grow as well.
