How can you show commitment to your professional and personal development?

Posted by admin on Jan 30, 2011 under Personal Development


By your personal appearance, especially in college or in the work place. Dress and behave above the manner typically expected at your current level. When you start there, others will somehow elevate you in their minds, and the ball will begin to roll.

What are the advantages of Personal development plan 5mark question?

Posted by admin on Nov 12, 2010 under Personal Development

The test is open book but I can’t find any info on it. Pls help !

I’m just guessing here, so please be aware of that. I’m not sure whether the plan means that you are intending to develop your personality or if your plan is one created by you personally!

The advantages of a personal development plan is that is enables you to set targets, and time limits and to record achievements so that you can monitor your progress or lack of progress. As your plan will have been worked out in advance and recorded you will be able to re-evaluate its effectiveness and make the necessary adjustments to get back on track. (As it is a personal development plan you will know yourself better than anyone and will be able to create something which will be of advantage to you)* see opening statement!

Why is there no section for Life Coaching and Personal Development?

Posted by admin on Oct 23, 2010 under Personal Development

I often need information on these two and other related yet none of the categories really address this.

I don’t know but maybe its something that many people would like. You can go to the "contact us" section and definitely suggest it.

Is there anything more important to personal development that understanding one’s own feelings?

Caring about the feelings of others.

what does it mean why a company tells it will support your personal development?

Posted by admin on Oct 9, 2010 under Personal Development

What kind of personal development does it mean? Things that related to work only? What about other facets of life, would they count? Again i think it depends on different companies, as long as you are doing the job right, and can justify your need for certain types of personal development, the company will support you in those aspects.
What type of personal development you have received from the company?

Within limits, they want you to achieve your maximum potential.

what is a personal development class?

Posted by admin on Aug 31, 2010 under Personal Development

I am in the 8th grade now and i’m taking a personal development class, I just wanted to know what it was about.

You’re right to wonder what this class means, because it could mean a lot of different things. It depends a bit on what approach your school and/or teacher choose for the class. "Personal development" is sort of a catch-all term for anything that makes you a better person.

Some topics that may (or may not) be covered could include:

* How to study well or be organized
* How to cope with changing classes, schedules, etc. in high school
* How to cope with peer pressure, frustrations with your parents, or other teen issues
* What are your personality traits, skills, gifts? Get to "know yourself"
* What type of career should you consider?
* How to handle money
* Health issues: drugs, anorexia, sex ed, organ donation, acne, showering after PE, etc.)
* Dealing with your emotions (anger, sadness, grief, etc.)
* Watching cheesy videos on any of the above topics - then discussing or journaling about them.
* Trying out new skills = archery, cross-stitch, photography, line dancing, or whatever else they dream up to "develop" you
* Anything else the principal, superintendant, or school board decided kids should learn that doesn’t fit neatly into an academic class.

This class could really be anything from a study skills class to a social skills class to a health class.. or any combination thereof. You will have to get the real scoop from your teacher. Good luck!

Writing a personal development plan out, I need to paraphrase I am a person who is motivated (work wise)?

Posted by admin on Aug 4, 2010 under Personal Development

I need to add a skill and I am at a writers block, can’t figure out how to say I am a self motivated worker. (I need to say it creatively :o) help!?
So true coach Kim, this works! Shortening a little, thank you very much!

I am a worker who takes initiative and seeks out solutions whenever problems arise. Additionally, I am proactive and self-motivated when it comes to aligning my actions with the vision and goals of the company.

(hope this all true (smile))

do you enjoy personal development material?

Posted by admin on Jul 31, 2010 under Personal Development

I would like to write only what you want to hear about regarding personal development; how to manage time, how to have a vision, be more powerful in decisions, for example. Would this information be important to you, and if so, what specifically would be of interest to you?

People seem to need guidance for developing self confidence and drive,.
