Case Study
Self-Development
"If you want to be a champion, you have to train like a contender"
Employers can no longer offer life-long employment or a full development program for our personal agenda of
continuous improvement. We must take responsibility for our career and design our own development
program.
Most people's greatest fear is that of losing their job and not being employable anywhere else. Some of the
following will help ensure that you remain an attractive employee and sought after individual.
Keep well informed
Know what is going on in your industry, with competitors and within the community. Subscribe and read any
industry specific journals and network outside of your usual circles when attending Business to Business days
or training sessions. Always carry a notepad to remind you of useful information or websites.
Know what you want
Once you have a very clear idea which way is the right way for you, huge amounts of information will come
from a variety of sources that you had not noticed before. Don't be afraid to have big visions for yourself-
understand what is in your heart and know what motivates you. Have a plan and be clear and bold about
achieving it.
Think success
Write down all your strengths and successes. Think about each one in turn, picture it and remember that
wonderful feeling of success. This is a wonderful exercise to adopt not only when you are feeling good about
yourself but especially if you need a bit of a boost during times of self-doubt.
Keep physically and mentally fit
Healthy eating and exercise is more than just common sense. It is well documented that exercise not only
releases mood-enhancing endorphins, but allows the mind to relax and day dream - this is when creative ideas
and solutions "pop into your head."
Keep contributing
Be aware of what is expected of you in your work environment. Understand how you contribute to the success
of the business objectives, and to your teams' development. Don't rely on others making comments on it, they
may not do it often enough, but recognize it yourself and be positive in your thoughts.
Find what works for you
There are many ways of acquiring new skills and knowledge. Formal training may not be your best way of
learning but there are plenty of alternatives from books and videos, to searching the net and sharing ideas
with people that you admire.
Apply your learning
Put any learning into practice as soon as you can. Try it out and see what difference it makes. The quicker you
apply the learning the more you will remember and add your own experience to it.
Ask for feedback
We are all used to being given feedback, often when we want it least, but it takes a brave person to ask for
feedback. You will automatically ask someone who is credible to you and hopefully they will offer it in a
constructive way, but don't be afraid to ask for specific instances and examples.
• Commit to your self-development and believe in yourself
• Plan what you are going to achieve
• Take the action that will improve your skills and performance
• Evaluate your effectiveness regularly and make the necessary changes
