Today I'll start a topic as requested by a friend of mine for you out there. I believe you can gain from this.
So what then is Personal development?
Personal development includes activities that improve
awareness and identity, develop talents and potential, build human capital and
facilitate employability, enhance quality of life and contribute to the
realization of dreams and aspirations.
The concept is not limited to self-help but includes formal
and informal activities for developing others in roles such as teacher, guide, counselor,
manager, life coach or mentor. When personal development takes place in the
context of institutions, it refers to the methods, programs, tools, techniques,
and assessment systems that support human development at the individual level
in organizations.
Personal development includes the following activities:
Improving self-awareness
Improving self-knowledge
Improving or learning new skills
Becoming a self-leader[2]
Building or renewing
identity/self-esteem
Developing strengths or talents
Improving wealth
Spiritual development
Identifying or improving
potential
Building employability or human
capital
Enhancing lifestyle or the
quality of life
Improving health
Fulfilling aspirations
Initiating a life enterprise or
personal autonomy
Defining and executing personal
development plans
Improving social abilities
Personal development can also include developing other
people. This may take place through roles such as those of a teacher or mentor,
either through a personal competency (such as the skill of certain managers in
developing the potential of employees) or a professional service (such as
providing training, assessment or coaching).
