Self-development is an interesting concept. People develop themselves actively and passively. Even when they are sleeping, the are developing themselves in some kind of way. Generally, however, Self-Development refers to a person’s efforts of expanding and deepening their emotional and intellectual skills and capacities. It refers to one’s abilities to learn more, observe more, and do more as an individual and as a team member. And this is just for starters. Self-Development is much more than all of this stuff. —Ray Newkirk

Self-Developments is about growth, personal growth. It is all about the mastery of specific Soft Skills and Hard Skills to enhance a healthy and successful life. Now what rational person doesn’t want this? But Self-Development is serious business. A person develops one way or another. There are so many elements to consider, stages to go through, dynamics to experience, and on and on. The one word that defines Self-develop is GROWTH. Self-development is about growing throughout one’s lifetime in ways that benefit the person. And it can be fun. Coaching can be a Self-Develop process. —RLN
