Hello Lovely Lady

Let’s talk personal development and why it’s so important for you.

“The only constant in life is change”. It’s important to understand how this quote relates to you, and why you need to keep “you” in Alignment and up to speed with any changes.

I know the thought of keeping up can seem quite overwhelming and can trigger stress and discomfort. (Click here to access a step by step process to overcome overwhelm.)

The thing is, for you to stay on top of things, personal development work is your answer, and your alignment is your solution. 

A great personal development program will expand your perspective and improve your mental clarity and capacity. It shall boost your confidence and recharge your energy. Plus help you to access your personal skills, gifts, talents, and creativity with a refreshed sense of purpose.

An aligned program shall provide you with a sense of direction and satisfaction. Helping you to clarify and achieve your goals, dreams, and desires with renewed passion. 

I believe with each stage in your life and business, personal development work will set you up for success. Especially when you want to upgrade in any way or form.

Why is personal development so important?

Personal development work prepares you for the next phase of your journey, so “you” don’t get left behind. This kind of investment in self helps you to keep up with yourself, your work, your goals, dreams, and desires.

Personal development work helps “you” get on track, stay on track and up to speed with your goals. The right program will help align you mentally, emotionally, and physically, getting you ready for the next level. This helps you to maintain and sustain what you want, which feels amazing.

When embarking on any personal development journey, “Your Alignment” is important for any shifts and exciting transformation to take place. And ultimately the success in achieving your desired outcome, with optimal lasting results.

I know there are a lot of personal development programs out there, so choosing wisely is so important. To help you out, I put together 3 simple indicator you can use to gauge your alignment. This will help you choose the right Personal Development coaching program for you and your needs.

Plus, you can use these indicators before enroling into any new course, program, or class you wish to attend. This will ensure you always choose the right fit for the transformation you wish to experience.

Choosing a Personal Development Program

Using these 3 indicators

1. Trust & Compatibility

It’s important that you resonate with the coach’s style, approach, set of values, character and personality. For any shifts and exciting transformation to take place there needs to a be a high level of compatibility, trust, respect, and commitment from both sides.

To gauge this, you can navigate to the about page of their website, this will give you a feel for who they are. I also recommend looking at things like brand values and mission statement.

Another option is a quick compatibility, clarity, or discovery call.  This will quickly determine if the fit is right to make a sound and wise decision.

2. The Offer

The program needs to offer you the kinds of transformations that you are looking for. It’s important to know what you expect to achieve through your participation, so that your needs are addressed and met.

Here, I suggest reading through the reviews and/or testimonials sections. This will give you an idea of what working with the coach would potentially feel like. It will also give you more insight to the overall experience you can expect.

3. The Structure

The program needs to have a structure and a clear plan and path for you to achieve your desired outcomes. The structure should feel doable and achievable to you.

Having a look through the service page on their website will give you a clear overview of the offer. You will potentially find all the details you need here. Such as the duration, the structure, the materials you shall cover and the way it shall be presented. This may also include any extras you shall get and the fees you can expect to pay.   

Having this information in advance, can support you in asking any questions to be sure before you proceed.

Is it a clear, yes?

If you can give all 3 of these indicators a green tick, it’s a clear YES, which is great. This means there is an alignment in terms the actual program itself.

On the other hand, its ok if you don’t have 3 clear Yeses’. Either the program isn’t the right fit or you, which is so important to discern beforehand. Or you may be unsure exactly what it is you need. Maybe you have a couple of questions you need to ask or potentially you need to meet the coach first?

All of these are easy to resolve with a quick compatibility, clarity, or discovery call. A quick complimentary call which will clear up any grey areas you may. Plus give you the opportunity to ask any questions, so you can make a firm and confident decision.
