PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
THE COACHING DIFFERENCE PROVIDES A NUMBER OF TOOLS TO SUPPORT YOU IN ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS. WE HELP YOU SEEK PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THE COACHING DIFFERENCE’S PROPPRIETARY TOOLS.
THE 3Ps OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
In personal development self-awareness of these 3 P’s is important. A good starting point is to assess and record today’s situation and then use that to plan for your Platform and People development (short and longer term). Do this a few times and the 3P’s concept will become part of (sub) consciousness.
PASSIONS are the things that energise us. They can be life-long or can be developed through life. Recognition of passion is very important in self-development. What things give you a buzz? What things drive you on?
PLATFORMS are all the capabilities, skills, experience and education that one builds through life. Building platforms is an ongoing process from youth to old age. The search for knowledge is an important element as is the desire to try new things out.
PEOPLE are our networks of professional, social, family and community friends, colleagues, acquaintances. It is important to recognise the power of networking in business and in personal life. In developing new networks and expanding existing ones it is important to be interested and interesting. Networking is natural to some, not so natural to others in which case some pro-active effort is valuable. Networking, like most things, becomes easier with effort.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT GRAPH
Development is a continuous process of small improvements integrated by an occasional larger improvement.
There will also be setbacks from which to LEARN from time to time.
THE FUN LINE
Assessing the current and developing levels of satisfaction of an individual with regard to professional life is important. THE COACHING DIFFERENCE uses its proprietary concept of the FUN LINE to assist with this assessment.
The concept of the FUN LINE helps in assessing how an individual or a team is tracking in well-being over time.
FUN is the measure of much one enjoys and is stimulated by what they’re doing. On a good day FUN goes above the FUN LINE.
AVERAGE FUN is the longer-term view of what is happening. It is important to be above the FUN LINE on average, even it in the short term there are deviations below the line. It is quite helpful to think of this concept on the bad days as it gives inspiration to look out for good days coming up.
