Skills for Personal Development

 


  Nowadays, it's important to continue to learn and grow in order to stand out from the crowd of the community. It is also known as self-development or personal growth. However, by developing our personal development skills, we are more like to feel a sense of fulfillment in our personal and professional life as we grow and progress. So, what is personal development? How do develop these important skills?

  Personal development can mean a lot of things. It is a skill of qualities and abilities that help people grow both personally and professionally. In other words, they are skills that help to nurture personal development. Personal development skills are important because they allow for making strategies and tactical plans for personal and professional growth. After all, it is personal. Each of us has a different set of goals to achieve and needs different skills for it. Hence personal development can never be anything more than that. Here are some of the personal development that can make the most effort. 

  Social connection. Social connection and relationships are must-haves for any personal development. Since humans are social creatures, we need that connection to learn and grow. Through social connections, we gain important skills such as communication skills, problem-solving, relationship-building, and the ability to give-receive feedback. Good communicators can speak clearly and confidently. It also can understand what others are saying and feeling.

  Face the fears. Usually, it is the fear of failure that keeps us from trying new things. It should be put on the top list but oh well, moving on. If we are fearful of public speaking we ought to take a course or join a team that guides individuals to become better public speakers. If taking risks is what we're scared of, find a good mentor to assist. Confront our fears head-on and remember that all fears are learned and with self-discipline, we can turn things around. The only way to grow and learn is by trying things we may not be comfortable doing.

  Emotional. Emotional personal development often goes hand-in-hand with EI or emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand feelings. Beyond feelings, it's understanding how those feelings form our thought and actions. If we are looking back at our journey and figuring the growth, it is likely to raise a sense of emotional development along the way. This requires emotional intelligence to understand what role our feeling and thoughts are.

  All right, the bottom line. These are just a few of the personal development skills that can benefit your life and your work. Self-development is a lifelong process upon which you can continue to improve. Focus on developing the skills that will best help you reach your goals. Trust yourself. Thank you for your time and as always have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
