Personal Development Courses
What is personal development and how does it have an effect on a person's life? What's more, how can it be learned and integrated into a person's life?
These questions and many more are answered and explained here in this site that's focused on how to develop the self through life coaching strategies and self help techniques.
Before I get into the training aspect of this concept, I should explain the concept itself to give you an anchor that you can start with.
What is Personal Development?
The name gives us a clue to begin with, since it is the development of the self in ways that are designed to make us happy in our lives thanks to certain successes in the areas that matter to us.
Those areas could be in personal relationships, our health, our financial liberation or even a measure of our popularity among those close to us or to a wider audience.
However we look at it, most of us view success as being elevated from the point we started at to the point we are now having been made better in certain ways.
So we might see success in the financial area as having gone from ″just getting by″ or living from paycheck to paycheck, to now having financial freedom by being able to spend money on whatever we want without ever needing to worry how we can afford it.
Or we might see success in heath as having gone from from being unhealthy, perhaps overweight and always sick with one or other illness to being in great health with no sickness and feeling full of energy and enthusiasm for life.
Achieving Success
Achieving success stems from the ability to focus the mind to get us undertaking certain tasks necessary to bring about positive change through our resulting actions.
This is the development of the person, moving them from one place to a better place.
How to Learn Personal Development
Learning about how to develop the self is easier today that it has ever been.
Access to learning material, courses and tutorials has been made highly accessible and available to anyone with an Internet connection and a device capable of processing that information.
There is more than one way of learning, of course. It is not confined to the Internet.
Many great life coaches, motivational speakers, self help gurus and the like are frequently holding conferences and lectures to the public where they talk in person on a stage to a group of eager students. These lectures are often recorded and made available for sale on DVD or via digital download to those that couldn't attend in person but still want to review the material.
Some of these experts have combined a series of their own lectures into video courses with supporting documentation that can also be purchased in stores or via digital download from online vendors.
What Course Tutors Do I Recommend?
There are several personal growth courses that I have personally taken and reviewed over the years. I tend to find certain speakers or experts resonate with me better than others, so I will naturally be biased toward them.
So in my own opinion, for me the best teachers (or the ones that I have learned most from) are Dr Joe Vitale and Bob Proctor. I have read books, watched video and taken course by others that I shall mention in separate articles published on this site.
If you're interested in some of Joe Vitale's work, here is a great review article on his Law of Attraction Certification program for practitioners that I found to be very informative.
