What does owning your own development mean?

By taking control of your development you are building a positive proactive that people around you notice. This puts you in a position to achieve your goals whether they are a higher salary, less hours, more flexibility, or a promotion.
But before you do anything its vital your understand what personal development is and why it is important to you.
There are are the five areas of personal growth
Spiritual growth: connecting with yourself on a holistic level, developing as a person and finding inner peace
Emotional growth: Focuses the development of your mind, such as the way you think, learn and your mindset
Social growth: improving your communication skills, how you engage with others around you
Physical growth: involves taking care of your body and using it in productive ways. Your physical condition affects all other areas of personal growth and development, as a healthy body facilitates effective brain functioning.
Mental growth: focusing on the development of your mind, such as the way you think and learn.
It's about considering where growth will benefit you in your life the most. When it comes to personal development, its about being fully in tune with what are your areas that need develop 'what you need' But also what you want, these are aspirations, dreams and pursuing your personal passions.
First step is identifying your areas of focus and then exploring options.
At this point many individuals benefit from identifying a #Coach or #Mentor to support them in unlocking possibilities and enabling individuals to bring their learning to life.
