What's self - development?

In short, the process of self-development is the process of knowing your strengths, and looking for what helps to develop these points and turn them into a source of success in a particular area, so if you want to succeed in your work life, talk to yourself and draw their strengths from them.

And by strengths, we mean the points that you master very well and help you reach your goal, and this definition of strengths may come close to defining passion, but over time you'll realize that passion for something is your most important strength, if the search for your passion may be one of your strengths, which will help you develop oneself.

Let's tell you in a practical way how to discover your personality, and know your weaknesses and strengths, so that we can pave the way for self-development and consider it the first step.

It's a very practical way to succeed for many large companies and institutions, and it can be applied to personality, which is the method of SWOT analysis.

SWOT character analysis

This analysis is a way in which a person recognizes his or her company or the enterprise in which he or she works, and here he or she means a personal analysis so that he or she can help you identify yourself well in self-development.

The word SWOT is an abbreviation of four words in English:

S, short for Strength:

W: It means weaknesses, which are things you think exist in your personality and prevent you from reaching a particular goal.

It means opportunities that you can use to develop oneself.

T is an acronym for "Three":

But how do you identify these points?

You need here a paper and a pen, a pure mind and a quiet place where you can talk to yourself in focus, and then you ask the next questions, and you write their answers in the paper in front of you.

These questions and their answers help to identify you easily if you're very honest with yourself.

Examples of power detection questions

What's your passion?

What's so special about you that people see you're alone in it?

What personal traits do you have that can help achieve your goals? (By that we mean features at work, such as good time management, organization in life in general, respect for dates, perseverance and initiative... Blah).

What values and principles do you believe in and pursue?

What do you do if you're under pressure at work? And what's your reaction?

What are you doing to get your job done in time?

What skills do you know that are good for your work life?

How are your relationships? And are successful relationships positive in your life, or are they a source of negative energy?

All these questions and more, through their answers, you can identify your strengths, and thus hold the beginning of the thread that will guide you in your path to self-development.

Examples of vulnerability detection questions

What are you avoiding, even though it's easy?

What bad habits do you think you have and want to get rid of it? And here we mean habits like smoking, unhealthy food, disrespectful dates... etc.)

Does your day end when you're satisfied with yourself?

What traits do you have in character that people like you think reduce your reach?

There are many questions that help you reach your weaknesses, but what's needed is to focus on the weaknesses that improving them will help to develop oneself, and then reach success and achieve goals.

Examples of questions for opportunities

What technological means do you have and how good does self - learning help you?

What areas can you focus on to develop in your fields and help develop your skills?

What platforms are available to you with training courses that enhance your practical abilities?

Does your field of work need to develop yourself into something that would promote you at work?

Is there a new idea you have that work lacks and you can do it for business development, whether it's your business or your enterprise or your company?

What problems do you think exist in your work, whether self - employment or career, and you think it impedes your progress?

Always be proactive in exploiting any opportunity or means of learning, investing minutes of your time on a daily basis and in a continuous manner, can bring you to great success that you might not expect at the moment, reinforcing the importance of self-development on a continuous basis.

Examples of questions for surrounding threats

What are the main problems that bother you with your time at work?

How competitive are your coworkers or rivals around you?

What reasons do you think are key factors in the superiority of your work?

Are your weaknesses an obstacle to reaching your goals?

How vulnerable is your work to technological development? Does it affect him in the affirmative or in the negative?

All these questions and more of them can be a threat to you or to your situation, and we don't mean here by the threat of temporary harm, but the threats here are risks to you now that might pose a danger to you in the future if you don't care about and work on your own development.

Now that I'm done with this analysis, whether you've had enough of these questions, or have compiled answers to other questions that will help you discover yourself more and see your strengths and weaknesses.

And also, after I've identified the most serious questions about opportunities and threats, depending on the circumstances of your work life, these answers were truly honest, concrete and close to reality... So now you're done with the first step in developing yourself, and you've come up with the number 1 answer to the question of what is self-development?

The Golden Triangle for Self-Development

After you got to know your character well, learned what everyday habits help you positively in the process of self - development, worked out your personal problems, addressed your weaknesses...

Now you have to look after the actual ways of developing oneself, and we've called it the Golden Triangle, because it's the three most important aspects, which if you follow and develop yourself into, will open up many areas for you.

First rib: Language Learning

Of course, languages are very important in communicating with people, especially those whose culture differs from theirs, and language is key to any new field.

It is a very good step in the process of self-development, but at first you must master your mother tongue, so that you can understand other languages, and for learning sources it is now so much available on all means of technology.

You can download language - learning apps on your smartphone.

Duolingo Application

Hello Talk application

Mindsnack application

Memrise application

And your advice is to look for important language in your field after learning English, and to master it well alongside English, and you'll find a big difference in your work life, and you'll find more than an area of work in which you've had a chance.

Second rib: Computer Software

Literacy is now changing its concept. Literacy is not only literate, but more important is technological literacy, which is a very important aspect of self-development.

First you learn how to deal with a computer, and then you learn the office package, which is very important in any area, especially Word, Power Point, Excel, these three programs are essential in any business area.

Next comes any other software, look into important computer programs that are active in the field, and look for learning sources on various e-learning platforms, most famously YouTube.

Then you set yourself a time periodically to commit to learning the programme  until it is finished, and we recommend that you develop a monthly plan so that you can learn different programmes, but more important to learn is to apply, so we stress the importance of these programmes being required in the area they have.

One very important point is learning to handle search engines and Internet browsers, so you can access anything you want on the Internet.

Third rib: Learning Skills

The skills here that greatly assist in self-development are divided into two types:

Hard Skills: They mean skills specific to a particular area of work, such as specialized study, knowledge of the different tools of the profession, and other skills produced through study.

Example: To become a professional electronic marketer, you need to learn electronic marketing skills.

Soft Skills: If a person has skills, there are many opportunities to work, form relationships, and continue success, and there are more than one skill required by many employers according to studies produced by the British Labor Centre.

The most important of these skills are:

Communication Skills.

Decision making skills.

Time management skills.

Leadership Skills driving skills.

Creative thinking and problem-solving skills.

Commitment skill and accountability.

Work skills: You can gain it by being in the work environment, or if you don't have the opportunity to take a job, you can get into training in your field of work, from which there's what's paid and what's not, but the most important goal is to acquire work skills.

Personal skills: You can read about it in detail, and there are courses on online educational platforms that will help you a lot, and volunteer work is one of the most important in developing and learning personal skills.

Eventually, after you have completed this article, we advise you to implement these steps in succession and draw up a plan for yourself so that you can reach your main goal of self-development.

And you need to get away from everything that's causing you to disperse and waste time, and learn how to effectively organize your time in learning and developing and enjoying life.
