    IMPORTANCE OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

    There’s a common misconception that personal development is


    reserved for those who need to work harder to achieve their goals. In
    reality, even the most successful people constantly strive for
    improvement. Your brain needs new information so that you can
    continue to flourish. Learning is a continuous process and doesn’t stop
    unless you want to. Personal development may be time-consuming but
    there are many advantages to this process.
    1. Provides Clarity To Personal Vision
    Personal development helps you define your personal vision and
    life goals more clearly. When you establish targets for yourself, it
    becomes easier to create a plan and work towards those
    objectives.

    2. Improves Existing Skills


    Learning and personal growth are the hallmarks of personal
    development. You learn from your past mistakes and overcome
    challenges through education, training and guidance.

    3. Helps Identify True Potential


    The more you work on your skills and abilities, the more you
    discover your hidden potential. You learn to push your boundaries
    and explore new things because you know how to best utilize your
    knowledge.

    4. Drives Motivation And Satisfaction


    Personal development is empowering as it lets you take control of
    things. Since there is constant improvement, you feel more
    confident and motivated. Your productivity increases and your
    performance gives you satisfaction.

    5. Helps Focus On The Bigger Picture


    When you acknowledge your shortcomings, you hold yourself
    accountable for your mistakes. This level of self-awareness helps
    you look at the bigger picture and not beat yourself up about
    things that are beyond your control.
    WHAT IS SELF-DEVELOPMENT?

    ‘Personal development is often used interchangeably with ‘self-


    development’, but they’re two different approaches to life. The former
    focuses on developing new capabilities and adding a new direction to
    life. The latter focuses on ways to improve things that are already a part
    of one’s life. Both processes deal with personal development and
    complement each other but shouldn’t be confused with each other.

    Self-development is a conscious process of improving oneself in various


    aspects of life. It’s a constant pursuit of growth by developing skills,
    competencies and knowledge. The ultimate goal for self-
    development is to be a self-fulfilled person. The process includes three
    key components:

     Skill Enhancement: 
    There are two skill enhancement processes, personal and
    interpersonal effectiveness. Interpersonal skills focus on how you
    interact with others and develop relationships. Personal
    effectiveness skills like goal-setting, time management, decision-
    making and stress management benefit you personally.
     Mental Conditioning: 
    The process of building and strengthening our minds is known as
    mental conditioning. We’re able to focus on our objectives by
    visualizing what we want to achieve. This helps maintain a positive
    focus, improving self-image and self-confidence. Some mental
    conditioning techniques like meditation, breathing exercises and
    relaxation activities have proved useful in boosting concentration
    and bettering performance.

    Habit Creation:
    A habit often refers to routine behaviors or tendencies that are
    automatic and without intention. It’s difficult to break out of habits
    but it’s not impossible. To make our lives more enriching we can
    also create new habits and bring about positive changes.

    WHAT IS PERSONAL GROWTH?

    Personal or self-growth is the result of both personal and self-


    development. It’s a process of becoming the person that motivated you
    to work towards self-improvement in the first place. In layman’s
    terms, personal growth is a transformational step made towards
    improving your physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual and
    financial state in life.

    Sometimes, it doesn’t matter what your abilities and skillsets are. Your
    attitude towards pushing yourself and stepping out of your comfort
    zone makes all the difference. Here are some questions you can ask
    yourself before you start to invest in self-improvement:

     What Am I Grateful For Today?


     What Do I Want To Achieve In Life?
     What Are The Things I’m Afraid Of?
     How Do I Face My Fears?
     What Is That One Thing I Can’t Live Without?

    PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

    You can set personal development goals to advance your career. Here


    are some ways that’ll let you align your personal goals and work goals.

    1. Communicate Frequently
    Communication is essential to break the ice and build
    a rapport with colleagues. Show your coworkers that you’re open
    to conversation and healthy arguments. Listen attentively and
    disagree respectfully, whenever someone challenges your existing
    beliefs and opinions.

    2. Work In Teams
    Be proactive when it comes to teamwork and collaboration with
    other departments. Different perspectives give way to new
    learning experiences. Moreover, you’re encouraged to be more
    productive when you share and discuss common objectives and
    timelines.

    3. Be Open To Feedback
    Receiving honest and constructive feedback is one of the best ways
    to grow in your career. Whether you’re a team leader or a team
    member, make sure you provide as well as receive feedback from
    your peers. You’ll get clarity on your performance and progress.

    4. Attend Training Sessions


    If you feel that your performance is affected because of gaps in
    your competencies, be open to training programs. You can always
    upskill to catch up with emerging business demands. Moreover,
    your employer will appreciate the added efforts you make towards
    driving organizational goals.
