PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR PROFESSIONALS

OVERVIEW

This course will help participants to better understand themselves and the significant people around them as they make important life and career decisions. The course consists of modules, each of which addresses a key concern in personal development such as self-development, mental and emotional health, maintaining relationships, career development, and building a society based on an open mind. Using the experiential learning approach which includes short lectures, small and large group discussions, journaling, etc.; each module invites participants to explore specific themes in their development. Personal reflections, sharing, and lectures help reveal and articulate relevant concepts, theories, and tools in different areas in psychology.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

  1. conduct a self-exploration and simple disclosure on his/her talents, unique characteristics, habits, and experiences to appreciate his/her unique identity (set of strengths and weaknesses);
  2. display an awareness of what responsible adulthood means;
  3. build and maintain healthy relationships in and out of the office;
  4. recognize the roles and manage the influence of the significant people around them;

LEARNER’S BENEFIT

No matter what your position is in the organization; whatever your economic class, age, race, salary grade; there seem to be one unifying factor that binds many people together – many people are not fully satisfied with where their lives currently stand. People either feel like they are stuck in their jobs and only stay because it pays their bills; while others are so obsessed with getting ahead of everyone else. Either way, many people are only concerned about looking out for themselves instead of looking out for everyone else. This course will help participants to better understand themselves and the significant people around them.

Employees will be able to establish and maintain healthy work relationships. They will be able to communicate with each other better, find common ground, and work harmoniously together, regardless of their differences. This will result in a good working environment where everyone is excited to go to work and share their skills and talents for the benefit of everyone.

Companies will have lower turnover rates. The different departments within the organization will become more efficient because team members work in harmony. There will be less sick days because people will become happier and healthier. More importantly, companies will be able to assure a safe working environment conducive not only to production and profitability but also to the mental and emotional health of the workforce.

Individuals will benefit from this course because they will be able to establish and maintain relationships outside of work, learn key ideas on how to manage aspects of their lives (e.g. time, finances, emotions, etc.) so that they can get ahead while also developing a reflective lifestyle.

The society will benefit from the course because more people will be more aware of themselves and the people around them. People will work and live their lives with a more open, more compassionate heart with the goal of benefiting others and not just themselves.
