How does learning from experts accelerate your Success path! Think you don’t have the time …. Think again. Many people shy away from the buzz words “Personal Development” fearing some of the negative implications it may carry. This is unfortunate in that PD is merely a learning path we all take whether we are aware of it or not. Example: college courses, seminars, books, or training through your employer are forms of PD. Many professions such as health care, education, engineering, and law require minimum hours of PD aka Continuing Education as a requirement for licensing so that new skills can be learned and applied in the appropriate situations. Personal development comprises activities that improve self-knowledge and identity, develop talents and potential, build human capital and employability, enhance quality of life and realize dreams and aspirations. The concept of personal development covers a wider field than self-development or self-help; it also includes developing other people, and by extension refers to the methods, programs, tools, techniques, and assessment systems used in personal development. At the level of self-improvement, personal development includes: 1. Becoming the person one aspires to be; integrating social identity with self-identification 2. Increasing awareness or defining of one’s priorities, values, chosen way of life or ethics 3. Strategizing and realizing dreams, aspirations, career and lifestyle priorities. 4. Developing professional potential and talents; developing individual competencies, learning on the job 5. Improving the quality of lifestyle in such areas as health, wealth, culture, family, friends and communities 6. Learning techniques or methods to expand awareness, gain control of one's life or achieve wisdom The personal development of others may occur as: * A function within the role of teacher or mentor * A personal competency (such as a manager's ability to develop the potential of employees) * A professional service (such as providing training, assessment or coaching)
Aristotle and the Western Tradition The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) strongly influenced theories of personal development in the West. Aristotle defined personal development as a category of practical wisdom.[citation needed] Aristotle’s concept of the Good Life consisted in developing one’s excellence (arête) to reach eudaimonia[5], commonly translated as happiness but more accurately understood as “human flourishing” or “living well"[6]. Aristotle continues to influence the Western concept of personal development to this day, particularly in the economics of human development [7] and positive psychology. [8]
Now that we’ve defined PD how is an expert going to help me in my success? Imagine if you would have the ear of the leading minds in any particular subject. Instead of you having to research and study, as well as, experience (the best teacher) the obstacle in your learning path you could just simply get the answer On-Demand? Just like in the movie “The Matrix” you simply download what you need and retain it for all time! Imagine knowing what Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Donald Trump or Barack Obama know and being able to apply it in you life NOW. Do you think you’d be more successful? If you could change your life completely by changing less than 1% of your daily routine would you do it? By investing 7 minutes per day (roughly ½ % of 24 hours) in yourself and your education you can dramatically improve your skills and get more out of your life. In our fast paced world many of us do not have an hour a day to spend on our continuing education. iLearningGlobal has divided its Hi-def content into 7-9 minute segments; packed with valuable material so that you can take your education in bytes (pun intended). Directly from the experts in personal development, business, sales, finance, teens, parenting, relationships and much more!
Consider these facts... Why continuous learning?
1) The average person will increase their salary by only 2-3% annually.
2) Each year inflation increases by approximately 2-3% annually.
• 3)That means that, without lifelong learning, it’s virtually impossible for the average person to get ahead. However...
• 1) Top Achievers, people who are continually learning and growing, DOUBLE their income every 3-5 years. • 2) This is why the top 10-20% earns more than the bottom 80%! To separate yourself from the pack, you often need to know just one additional skill…and that will make all the difference in your pay scale.
Personal Development works for you regardless of what Business or Profession you are in.
