Its an odd question isn’t it? My job is to support individuals with their personal development. Personal development is all about stretching yourself, but what exactly is a stretch?
Well a stretch is anything that you wouldn’t normally do. If you are a regular reader, you’ll have read in November last year I took a huge comfort zone stretch into performing stand up comedy. This has helped me immensely when I stand and present any talk or speech to a group audience. Stretches can also be about skills and tasks.
I’ve taken on a challenge for the next month to take part in a 30 day writing romp. I stumbled across it on Facebook. I write regularly for this blog, yet rarely give any time to improve my skills. My core drivers for the blog are to:
- write from the heart
- Share my knowledge and experiences for others self development
So I have pledged that I will dedicate 20 minutes a day to working towards creating my first ebook and improving my writing skills.
Pledging as part of a group on Facebook has made me accountable to others for my goal, for me this is critical to support my personal motivation.
What skill set would you like to improve?
