Personal Development

What is Personal Develoment? Some people get a bit confused when this term is mentioned. They think it's just using a Personal Trainer to work out, others think it's doing Yoga and Meditations, and some may think it's just repeating mantra's or affirmations in the hope something good will come their way! "Isn't it all just a bit too airy fairy?" - well No, it's not.

In an effort to shed light on this subject here is the definition of Personal Development given on Wikipedia:



Personal development
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The field of personal development includes individual self-development and the development of others. By extension, personal development may involve programs, tools and methods. At the level of the individual, personal development includes goals, plans or actions oriented towards one or more of the following aims:

* improving self-awareness
* improving self-knowledge
* building or renewing identity
* developing strengths or talents
* identifying or improving potential
* building employability or human capital
* enhancing lifestyle or the quality of life
* realizing dreams
* fulfilling aspirations
* defining and executing personal development plans

The concept covers a wider field than self-development or self-help: personal development also includes developing others. This may take place through roles such as those of a teacher or mentor, through a personal competency (such as the skill of certain managers in developing the potential of employees), or through a professional service (such as providing training, assessment or coaching).

Beyond improving oneself and developing others, personal development is a field of practice and research. As a field of practice it includes personal development methods, learning programs, assessment systems, tools and techniques. The following sections on education and management discuss areas of practice. As a field of research, personal development topics increasingly appear in scientific journals, higher education reviews, management journals and business books.

Any sort of development — whether economic, political, biological, organizational or personal — requires a framework if one wishes to know whether change has actually occurred. In the case of personal development, an individual often functions as the primary judge of improvement, but validation of objective improvement requires assessment using standard criteria. Personal development frameworks may include goals or benchmarks that define the end-points, strategies or plans for reaching goals, measurement and assessment of progress, levels or stages that define milestones along a development path, and a feedback-system to provide information on changes.
