Toolkit - Growth

Posted by Jerry Lopper Oct 16, 2006

Welcome to Personal Development Toolkit featuring a development tool you can use to construct additions to your personal growth and development. Each week's toolkit will include a brief description of the tool and a suggestion for using it.

Growth: Growth means to spring up, to mature, to get larger. In a Personal Development framework growth implies moving toward your best; not necessarily more of any trait or skill, but better than before.

Example: Jennifer's career vision is to be known as a public relations guru; she sees herself giving presentations, authoring books and articles, and generally being quoted on PR topics world-wide. The forthcoming presentation to her state-wide PR society of her cutting-edge idea was a big growth step toward this vision.

This Week: As John Wooden pointed out in the inspirational quote for this week, knowing we're working toward being our best brings a level of peace and fulfillment.This week revisit your vision for your future in some aspect of your life. Then lay out a plan for the next month, next six months, and next year that provides growth toward your vision.
