The global personal development market is expected to grow from $47.74 billion in 2023 to $82.33 billion by 2033. This is a refection to make towards the end of 2024 – why is so much money going to be spent on personal growth and self-development?
Today’s world asks us about new personal development frameworks to support our personal life, career development and build key skills of self awareness and emotional intelligence.
The era of static, unchanging personal growth, where you are not meant to develop and progress into your most authentic self, is slowly becoming a past memory. You are now being challenged into the new standard criteria of conscious thinking and body, mind and heart integration.
My personal development journey started when I was in my thirties. Post-traumatic sport injury brought me into a bigger reflection on myself and my environment, improving myself became my mastery and my excellence.
I approach personal growth holistically, and my big vision is to inspire you to look deeply into your whole self, your personal life and self-awareness, coming from your past wisdom and the present moment development path.
Note: The names in client stories used as examples of growth have been changed.
What is Personal Development?
When introducing you to the idea of a personal development plan, I would like to refer to Maslow’s Hierarchy. This is when our basic needs fulfilment comes first, before we desire a complete self – actualisation of the full potential.
Many personal development methods build a personal growth strategy around this hierarchy. However, my personal experience and professional success with clients brought my attention towards the quantum field self development path. This is where you are creating more from the place of thriving emotions, and feeling rather than driving from the survival mode.
As a matter of fact, I have been creating my personal and professional success from the high-energy field, rather than purely following the basics of Maslow’s hierarchy. I found it rather more joyful, opportunistic, unlimiting and empowering when I create my future before it’s happening, as Joe Dispenza teaches.
Rather than follow the rat race of limitation, I decided to embrace the power of the body, mind and heart connection. Putting myself into a state of total disconnection from matter and material and aligning myself with the energy field allows me to go beyond the survival mode and the state Maslow’s hierarchy calls “Physiological Needs”.
Often to create these basic needs will bring you back into the past feelings, emotions and behaviours. Switching off the survival patterns which are coming from limiting memories can slow down or block the process of creation.
What if you wish to create a healthy body but in the past you were very ill of felt very unwell?
What if you wish to create a thriving relationship but in the past you were hurt?
What is you have a dream business idea but in the past you failed with another business idea?
The personal development journey I have in mind for you goes beyond anything you have read on the internet so far. It is more than a self help programme or a goal-setting exercise with a motivational speech from your life coach.
I want to offer you a redefinition of the personal development plan with more self awareness and deeper understanding of self. The self development framework we offer is a learning process with defined milestones, packed with challenges for you to overcome. The personal growth is going to happen on all levels: mental, physical, emotional and social. You will become the person you always wanted to be. It’s all ready for you!
Personal Development Skills
Developing core skills is going to enhance your personal development and help you with achieving your personal and professional goals. For many years, my personal development plan was identified by hard skills. These skills were acquired by education and experience:
“Hard skills are technical competencies that are needed to perform the duties of a job. They are often job-specific and can be acquired through practice, repetition, and education”.
However, in the new era of personal development, we need to include the so called soft skills. These are defined as:
“Personal attributes and social abilities that help people interact with others and contribute to a positive work environment”.
Therefore, you should consider the progress into deeper understanding, more self-awareness and expanded personal competency. This includes connection with yourself, your authentic voice, and the integration of your body and mind. Self-improvement is a lifelong process and will need consistency and resilience from you.
Why is Personal Development Important?
The defined milestone of your personal development journey will be your ability to stay still in the moment of disturbance, disorganisation or any challenges on your path. The ability to connect with the self without judgment, and the ability to be in a non-reactive, non-blaming, guilt and shame-free mode will bring you closer to the achieving your goals and self-actualization.
In my professional life I often meet people who ask me about big things, such as rebuilding something that it is not functioning well any more. Either it is a relationship, health, mindset, self esteem, body, work, or communication. Recreating yourself with a new vision of who you want to become will need new skills and knowledge, as well as a new framework of thinking and enhanced emotional intelligence.
Therefore, in our personal development method at House of Holistic Performance, we stress the importance of self awareness and personal skills on the way to personal transformation. You can trust me on that. Personal development takes place from the deep understanding of self and connection, with what is true to us in relation to the external world we live in.
The 4 Points of Personal Development
Over the last 20 years of my personal development and professional service, I have created personal development method called the Holistic Performance Method – a framework for self improvement and the personal development path.
It took mental and physical burnout, self-doubt, losses, tears and being in survival mode for me to finally rise up with more resilience, authenticity and courage. The personal development plans we have are a feedback system to you on what is your future life vision going to be like, rather than a deep therapeutic exploration of the past, where you no longer want to be.
The core areas of our personal development plans are: body, mind, health and growth.
Body
A resilient body will bring you a sense of achievement on the physical and mental level. Our aim is to make sure your have all the fitness abilities to feel strong and healthy. Right now, you might not understand full how fit and optimal body can help you to achieve the goals you set yourself :either improving oneself, overcoming mental illness or building your self-esteem.
The benefits of resilient body extend beyond physical to the healthy longevity of your personal and professional relationships or even business related matter.
Mind
Is it all about your mindset? Or rather the integration of body and mind?
The core area of our personal development method is overcoming the mindset limits set at some point of your life, either your family, your parents , social circles or beliefs you hold based on your experience and education.
Joining our training programmes means overriding the limited mind to create a new vision of yourself. Digging over and over into the past failures will not always create a future success. We want you to experience a full immersion of mind possibilities. The success lies in between challenges you experienced and a new potential we ask you to create.
What is your new potential that you hold in your mind?
Health
There is never a better time to set goals related to your own health.
I experienced a personal health breakdown which took me into my own personal development journey and helped me to define milestones where I could express my authentic purpose and life vision for the future.
My journey from losing myself into the person I have now become, came at the cost of my health therefore I have had to reassess the way I self care.
I decided to upgrade my knowledge to achieve the best possible level of physical and mental well- being. The same is true to many of our clients who come to see us at the moment of burnout with mental disconnection. Often at the moment of breakdown happens the real transformation and true personal development.
Health is the missing link of personal development plans in most of the personal development courses I have seen so far. No one pays attention to the benefits of a sharp mindset, nourishing food and nutrition, optimal sleep, or Vitamin D. These are just a few clinical areas of work with our clients.
Our attitude to health comes from a holistic approach to the whole human development. Our assessment systems will help you identify the core areas of the health personal growth and together after taking the initial case history, we are going to develop the most optimal health plan for you.
Growth
The Growth pillar provides you the opportunity to further reflect on everything related to your mental, emotional, social and physical development. In the process, you become whole with the body and mind.
Mental development brings you more into the “stoic mode” where you learn how to stay still in the non-reactive self. The ability to stay present will allow you have a more connected relationship with yourself and the external environment, leading to the better outcomes based on the set goals you have had.
Emotional development moves you from the past emotional body into the new emotions you would like to experience. The emotional journey will take you into the new body feelings and sensations and will involve practical tools from the field of neuroscience of change.
Social development focuses on the area of setting social boundaries in a healthy way and with integrity. The personal development can not happen without being truthful and honest with yourself.
Physical development will support your body and health in the profound way and our training will help you to achieve the optimal thriving body.
Key Benefits of Personal Development
The benefits of a personal development plan fall into the categories.
Reconnecting With Yourself
When approaching their first consultation, most of our clients generally feel a sense of loss and disconnection from the true authentic personal voice, and the purpose of being and living. The disconnection doesn’t happen only on a physical level, where health is failing, but also spreads into the relationships, partnerships, social life and professional life.
It was exactly this way when Jo came to see us. We had worked with her many years before the major life crisis. Her personal success came within a few months of following activities such as breathing 4 by 4, focusing on the present moment, expressing more kindness to herself and building more courage to speak her truth with integrity.
Gaining Energy and Vitality
When Melanie joined our self development course, her high job position, being available for her family and maintaining social relationships left her without time for self-care. The energy and vitality she presented on our first consultation was non-existing.
Her personal life needed more harmony towards her own well-being. She started her management journal and very quickly realised she needed to add times in her very busy schedule where she can do a physical workout, work on her “good girl “ persona, learn how to set healthy assertive boundaries, eat well-balanced meals and reset her hormonal health.
Expanding Your Comfort Zone
Comfort zone holds us back and keep us in the same set point of our life. Every single of our client manage to overcome their limits and expand beyond their comfort zone.
Sophie is one of those clients who were fearful of her own dreams and wants of moving back to UK, finding a new job, new place to live and start her new life. Her fears of unworthiness and not being good enough were in the way of making the final decisions to change the direction of her life. For her, personal development takes place at the transformation of the most basic emotions of fear into the vision of freedom, bravery and courage.
Experiencing More Life Satisfaction
Nadia wanted to travel and experience the world however her health and job commitment did not allow her to follow her passion of photography and travel.
Her personal goals got fulfilled and Nadia did travel to Asia, as well as improved her relationship with food, body image and building new partnerships. She even she started her own photography business!
Gaining Resilience and Adaptability
Isabella’s resilience around her physical development and commitment to her training left me, as her coach, speechless. She found a way to commit to her early morning personal training and showed her resilience long-term.
Her physical development brought her better fitness, stronger body and a confident mindset.
Preventing Burnout
One of my visions for our training programmes is to prevent burnout.
My own story of coming up from a complete exhaustion in 2011 to full health after a few years is a testimony for the progress you can make. Burnout keeps the body and mind at complete confusion, distress and even isolation, when you do not want to follow any self-actualization. You are only thinking of rest and sleep. The nervous system does remember it for a while. Complete support from our 4 Pillar method is why I feel so confident about our learning programs.
How to Create a Personal Development Plan
For us personalisation is the key and we will always follow our values at House of Holistic Performance. Different people need different things and the starting point might be different for a women in her forties or in her thirties or fifties.
1. Defining Your Goals
Defining your goals is a primary focus when you start with us. You need to gain clarity of your personal development topics during your first interactions with us – this will only make the whole process more consistent and fulfilling.
2. Creating a Plan for Consistency
The biggest problem we have found in our clients is consistency and accountability. Therefore, we always observe that the best outcomes are from clients who decide to commit to work with us on the full time basis. Our master programme brings a full transformation with a complete support from our team.
3. Recording Your Progress
We encourage to run your management journals so you can assure me of your progress. Our sessions are tracked with notes added to our system available to you at any time to review. Recording your wins and failure gives an opportunity to reassess, step back and initiate the new way to achieve objective improvement in any area of your life.
4. Reviewing Your Plan
Always review your plan to make sure to fulfil the purpose and set goals.
We are only going to get motivation from starting a new programme at the beginning. Failing to identify the reasons why you still can not move from the point A to the point B is a common reason why people do not benefit from the personal development plans.
You can review your progress on the weekly and monthly basis. Review is also a point where you can notice the journey behind you and how far you manage to arrive. Review is not to point the failures but remain us we are humans and errors happen. They key is to pick yourself up and carry on with your head lifted up. Be brave!
The Role of a Personal Development Coach
At House of Holistic Performance, we pay attention to the quality of service we offer. Our coaches, trainers, and therapists are always seeking for the most transformational way to facilitate your journey. The base of our coaching is tapping into the neuroscience of change, heart math, human potential coaching and peak performance coaching. However, our coaches also address the whole human, making the best out of life coach’s skills.
