Personal Development and Career Development go hand in hand?

❓Personal Development & Career Development – two sides of the same coin?

Maya Angelou says “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” A whole life is to find time to invest in oneself as well as in others.

To extrapolate this to workplace, it’s easy to get caught up  in our daily work, without carving out time for our own development.

A great place to start determining your career goals is to begin with personal goals.

Focussing energy on personal development, leads to confident mature personality & ultimately higher quality work.

Better Resilience, better the ability to navigate the ups & downs in career.

Most powerful tool to further career development, is to commit to personal development.

Personal Development IS Career Development.
