How to improve your selfdevelo­pment skills

-

reading:

If someone has done something, someone’s written about it. Successful people like to tell their stories and help others. People have written books about everything imaginable, and we can learn from them.

meditation:

There are many forms, versions and degrees of meditation from deep breathing, to transcende­ntal and taking a walk. Dedicating the time to meditate is in itself a form of meditation because you’re taking a moment to escape your mental world. Find the method that works for you.

hiring a life coach:

Being coached is lifechangi­ng, and it’s the best kind of personal investment one can make. The experience can wake someone up to see their potential and step into their superpower.

mentorship:

Mentors generally work with younger people, who’re often new to a profession or industry, and usually within the same industry. Many big companies have good mentorship programmes, but mentors even can be found outside the workplace. Coaches can fulfil the role of a mentor, but a qualified coach will still focus on coaching.
