WHAT IS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT?
PERSONALITY
Many factors make a person unique in his or her own way. One of this is personality. We
can define personality as the distinctive and characteristic pattern of thought, emotion, and
behavior that define an individual’s personal style of interacting with the physical and social
environment.
Personality plays an important part in the identification and choice of specific career.
According to Holland (1985), a person may possess the following personality types:
 Realistic – technician/engineer
 Investigate – scientist/chemist
 Artistic – musician/sculptor
 Social – teacher/social worker
 Enterprising – salesperson/lawyer
 Conventional – accountant/banker
Realistic and Investigative types lack interpersonal skills and have difficulty with emotional
expression of feelings. The artistic and social types are emotional in the expression of
feelings and may dislike highly ordered and repetitive activities.
The personality type one has is linked to specific work environments.
ASPECTS OF AN INDIVIDUAL’S PERSONALITY
1. MENTAL ASPECT – refers to his intellectual capacity.
2. EMOTIONAL ASPECT – a person’ emotional make up is shown in his likes and
dislikes.
3. SOCIAL ASPECT – how well a person conducts himself with other people and how
well he observes the rules of etiquette that govern society.
4. PHYSICAL ASPECT – heredity and environment determine the entire physiological
system of an individual. Posture, body build and size, compression and facial
expressions, as well as the appropriateness and condition of clothes, comprise the
physical appearance of a person. It has a lot to do with personality.
5. MORAL ASPECT – this aspect personality has to do with a person’s awareness of
the differences between what is wrong or right.
6. SPIRITUAL ASPECT – is the consciousness of the higher values in life.
DEVELOPMENT – a continuous change for improvement in all aspects of the person:
motor, social, emotional, intellectual, and moral.

PLANNING ONE’S CAREER
The exploration of one’s interest and aptitudes lead one to formulate career and
educational decisions. It is important for one to focus on personal and social
development.
“Know thyself” – it means giving more than what is observed or what is public
knowledge as one’s name. It means really knowing oneself in terms of one’s strengths
and limitations.
One’s sense of identity is usually defined by individual traits and goals, by personal;
achievement and fulfilment, by social responsibilities and relationships.
A. Strengths These are qualities, which we consider valuable or helpful in the things
that we do. These are usually seen as positive and traits that enable us to achieve
what we set out to do.
B. My Interests One’s interests are usually manifested in what one chooses or prefers
to do. A person may be interested in a basketball game, in reading a book, or in
gardening. Any of these activities may give a person a sense of satisfaction or
enjoyment.
C. Parents’ Interests and Expectations The career development of an individual and
one’s career decision- making skills will be enhanced if the family becomes involved
in the process. The family has expectations, dreams, aspirations, and hopes for each
member, which ultimately influences the person’s goals and choices.
D. My Values A person’s values are his/her personal convictions about what is
desirable. Values influences how a person acts and what we expect of others. These
also influence our choices and our goals.

 INTRA AND INTERPERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
INTRAPERSONAL DYNAMICS – (inner self) dealing with one’s inner
self, like emotions Intrapersonal skills and interpersonal skills are two
competencies that leaders must continually develop and refine in order
to have the optimal positive effect on followers in situations that require
changes to activities, procedures, and beliefs. Intrapersonal skills
concern the state of mind of an individual and the behavioral stability of
that person as measured by their emotional intelligence.
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP – (outer self) Personal and social
relationship of a person with others which develops systems of shared
expectations. Interpersonal skills on the other hand are concerned
with social intelligence in terms of the interaction of multiple
individuals and the effects of communication on accomplishing
objectives and building relationships within groups and organizations.
Interpersonal development helps organizational leaders to achieve
"instrumental goals" that further the agenda of the firm.
According to social scientists, there are four distinct stages a person passes through in
route to improving communication with others.
 The first is "beginning awareness", in which the subject learns that a better way to
behave will help achieve more effective results.
 This is followed by the second stage, "awkwardness", in which the initial forays at
implementing new behavior skills are not as honed or refined as one would like and
mistakes are more common.
 The third stage, "skillfulness", marks a time when the subject is proficient at
implementation and achieves success in expression with satisfactory results, but
needs to conduct considerable planning and real-time thinking in order to execute.
 Finally, after further practice, one arrives at the fourth stage called "integration." This
level is achieved when appropriate automatic reactions take place without conscious
intervention on the part of the performer. The key to achieving the fourth stage of
behavioral proficiency occurs when the subject understands the concept of "cognitive
complexity," defined as the ability to understand a plethora of different angles for
examining an issue, or putting yourself in the other person's shoes.

Interpersonal Conflict
In interpersonal conflict, you are in conflict with other individuals. This is considered a major
level of conflict and can occur between co-workers, siblings, spouses, roommates and
neighbors. This is the form of conflict most people have in mind when they think about
being in conflict.
Intrapersonal Conflict
Intrapersonal conflict is also called intrapsychic conflict. It occurs
within you. This conflict can develop out of your own thoughts,
ideas, emotions, values and predispositions. Intrapersonal conflict
occurs when you internally argue with yourself about something,
such as when you want a new pair of shoes but you know you
should not spend the money on them
Significance
These types of conflicts are important because we encounter them on a daily basis and
have to negotiate through them. You may think of conflict as negative, but both
interpersonal and intrapersonal conflict can have benefits
Healthy conflict provides you with the skills to develop
better relationships, gain an understanding of yourself,
increase your resolution skills and avoid negative and
damaging reactions.

Intrapersonal conflict can be disruptive and stressful if you do not

understand your own needs and desires, reports Help Guide. Therefore, it is important to
understand your deep emotions and interests and stay in touch with yourself, suggests
Help Guide. This deeper understanding of yourself will give you a better basis for
negotiating through interpersonal conflicts, allowing you to develop better, more trusting
relationships, reports Help Guide.
Considerations
There are ways you can improve your chances of positive conflict resolutions, whether it be
intrapersonal conflict or interpersonal conflict. The Help Guide suggests tips to help you
increase your chance of healthy conflict resolutions. Managing your overall stress is
important to help deal with conflicts. When you are experiencing too much stress, you are
at higher risk of succumbing to the emotions drawn out in conflict. It is also important to be
aware of your own emotions and keep them under control so that you can focus on the
facts.

Incorporating humor will enable you to communicate more information

that may be hard to talk about, and it will help put things into
perspective.

Organizational goals
“Goal setting is one of the basic tools used by organizations to assist in setting a direction
and achieving it. Successful organizations often set long- and short-term goals for service
development, improving quality, reducing errors, becoming more customer-focused, and
building better internal and public relations.”
A goal is often confused with an objective. A goal is a clear statement of intended future
results or expectations.
A goal is:
 A relatively short-term statement of direction and purpose.
 The result of a strategy or plan.
 A cumulative result of a number of objectives.
Criteria popularly used in setting a goal is the acronym “SMART” as a way of evaluating
the goal
 A goal is SPECIFIC when it provides a description of what is to be accomplished. A
specific goal is a focused goal. It will state exactly what the organization intends to
accomplish. A specific goal will make it easier for those writing objectives and
action plans to address the following questions:
 Who is to be involved?
 What is to be accomplished?
 Where is it to be done?
 When is it to be done?

 A goal is MEASURABLE if it is quantifiable. Measurement is accomplished by first

obtaining or establishing base-line data. It will also have a target toward which
progress can be measured, as well as benchmarks to measure progress along the
way. A measurable goal will answer questions such as:
 How much?
 How many?
 How will you know when it is accomplished?

 Goals should be appropriate to and consistent with the mission and vision of the
organization. Each goal adopted by the organization should be one that moves the
organization toward the achievement of its vision. RELEVANT goals will not conflict
with other organizational goals. As noted earlier, goals are set by or in concert with
the person responsible for achievement. It is important that all short-term goals be
relevant (e.g., consistent) with the longer-term and broader goals of the
organization.

 Finally, a goal must be (time bounded) bound by time. That is, it must have a
starting and ending point.
It should also have some intermediate points at which
progress can be assessed. Limiting the time in which a
goal must be accomplished helps to focus effort toward
its achievement.

An objective, by contrast, is "SMARTER". It is:

 Specific
 Measurable
 Achievable
 Relevant
 Time-bound
 Exciting
 Recorded

Personal hygiene and practices
Hygiene means health and healthful living. Good health means well balances condition of
body and mind which enables one to perform all functions normally. Regardless of your age
and gender, personal hygiene plays and importance role in everyone’s life from day one till
death.
Hygiene is synonymous to health, immunity and fitness. As the old saying goes, health is
wealth and unless hygiene is maintained there is no point in doing any amount of grooming
or beauty job.
Maintaining good hygiene boosts your confidence level in public appearances and attracts
respect as well.
Personal hygiene requires the practice of good health habits, such
as good food, plenty of sleep, exercise, recreation, daily bath and a
wholesome mental attitude. A person who has good spiritual outlook
in addition to good physical and mental health will be a source of
strength, faith, and inspiration to his peers as well as to the people
he comes in contact with.
Personal hygiene and style are also absolutely necessary components of being successful
in the work place.
Ask yourself (or those around you):
1. Is your perfume attractive?
2. Is it too heavy?
3. How are you taking care of your skin?
4. How often do you wash your clothes, shampoo, shower, shave, manicure and
pedicure?
5. What kinds of hygiene products are you using?
6. How do you attend to facial hair?
7. Do you keep your hair in good condition and have it styled regularly?
8. How do you select your dress for the occasion/event?
9. Did you use natural/local products in your personal hygiene?
10. How did you deal yourself when having hang-over?
Taken together, hygiene practices play an important part in giving others signals as to your
personality, your sexuality, and your sense of self-worth.
The rules of hygiene vary with the requirement of each individual, and each person adapts
what is needed from the general rules and formulates a code of rules for personal hygiene.
The rules cover all consideration of personal characteristics including but not limited to:

1. Cleanliness – daily bath

2. Oral hygiene – care of mouth and teeth
3. Diet – including weight control
 4. Posture – walking, standing, sitting
5. Clothing – good quality which can be kept fresh and crisp by frequent laundering
6. Relaxation – mental and physical exertion, sufficient time for rest.
Personal Hygiene Checklist
1. Daily bath and deodorant.
2. Oral hygiene- brushing of teeth and mouthwash
3. Diet weight control

5. Clothes- uniform and shoes should be properly fitted
6. Facial make-up – wear appropriate cosmetics
7. Posture
8. Hands must be cleaned and fingernails cut or trimmed short
9. Avoid dangling jewelry
10. Be relaxed
Keeping oneself in good health makes one feel optimistic and everyday activities tend to
run smoothly. On the contrary, when one is sick, it almost seems that life is not worth living.
Poor health handicaps you in all your enterprises, limits your achievements and robs you on
the enjoyment of living.
Rules of Health

Rules in Taking Food

1. Avoid sweets like candy and pastry.
2. Cultivate a desire for the natural flavors than to choose artificially seasoned
foods.
PERSONAL NEATNESS OR GOOD GROOMING
This means making you become more accepted socially and improves your own self-
respect. It stimulates you to your best efforts. Unless personal neatness and cleanliness is
given proper attention, friends and associates will tend to accord the person.

epidemic or flu
season or while on travel it is advisable to use an
alcohol-based sanitizer to keep rubbing your hands with.

important aspect of personal hygiene.

If you want to avoid falling sick often, hygienic way of hand washing is very important.
To wash your hands properly, you have to;
 1. First wet your hands,
2. Apply some liquid soap (or soap cake) – preferably anti-bacterial soap – and
3. Rub vigorously on all parts of you hand till above your wrist.
4. You have to rub soap well into your fingers and nails with interlaced fingers
and even rub the back of your palms.
5. Keep doing that for 10-15 seconds before washing it off with a lot of water and
6. Pat dry with a clean towel.
CARE OF SKIN
A cleansing bath not only removes perspiration and waste
products from the skin but serves to stimulate circulation, so
the condition of the skin is improved. The daily bath helps to
quiet the nerves. A mild, pure soap and plenty of lukewarm
water is used.
CARE OF THE HAIR
The hair should be thoroughly combed and brushed at least
once each day. The best time for caring for the hair seems to be
in the morning after the bath has been given. Brushing the hair
once or twice a day helps to keep it clean and lustrous and is
beneficial to the scalp by increasing circulation.
The brush should have moderately hard bristles and the
brushing should be done in firm, even strokes which begin at the
scalp and move outward toward the end of the hair. The style in
which the hair is worn is, of course, a matter of individual choice.
CARE OF THE NAILS
To promote personal hygiene, care of the nails must be
given due consideration. A well-kept fingernail not only
enhances the general appearance but is an added
protection against infection. Scratching the body surface
with dirty fingernails or from eating food that has been
handled by hands with nails that are not clean may have
bad results.

At regular intervals, fingernails should be trimmed or filed so they are all at desirable length.
Frequent washing of the hands with mild soap with lukewarm water helps to keep nails
clean and prevents hangnails. Push cuticle back each time the hands are washed and use
lotion or cream at night to improve reconditioning of the nails.
CARE OF THE MOUTH
Great emphasis is now placed on the importance of brushing the
teeth trice, a day; seeing the dentist twice a year. Dental products
are widely advertised and the general public is reminded of the
importance of good oral hygiene maintaining health. A healthy
condition of teeth and gums depends to some extent on proper
nutrition. Foods that require chewing, thus furnishing the exercise
and activity needed for teeth and gums to keep them in good
condition should be contained in the diet.
In giving proper mouth care, one should be familiar
with basic requirements for a satisfactory dentifrice
and toothbrush. The dentifrice which maybe a liquid,
paste, or powder, maybe chosen for the flavoring
agent used and the effectiveness with which it
cleanses and polishes the teeth. A strong salt solution
made from ordinary table salt maybe used as a
substitute for a commercial dentifrice.
The proper method of holding the toothbrush is circular and up and down movement so the
teeth are brushed downward or upward away from the gum line. When the teeth have been
thoroughly brushed, the mouth should be rinsed well. Teeth should be brushed before
breakfast each morning and after meal during the day.
CARE OF DENTURES
If you are wearing artificial dentures, it is necessary to take care of them and see that they
are not misplaced or broken. When not in the mouth, the dentures should be immersed in a
mild antiseptic solution. A suitable container should be used, labeled clearly and kept in the
bedside table drawer. Where there is little danger of the dentures being broken or lost.
APPROPRIATE PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES
1. Keep hair short or wear a cap.
2. Wash the hands before starting to work and apply a barrier cream for
protection against dermatitis.
3. Keep the hands and arms away from all unprotected areas of skin and from
the hair when working.

Code of ethics
An ethical code is adopted by an organization in an attempt to assist those in the
organization called upon to make a decision (usually most, if not all) understand the
difference between 'right' and 'wrong' and to apply this understanding to their decision. The
ethical code therefore generally implies documents at three levels: codes of business
ethics, codes of conduct for employees and codes of professional practice. Professional
codes of ethic vary from organization to organization.
WORK ETHICS
The duty to preserve one’s life implies the duty to work. Work is a creative process for self-
development when properly combined with leisure. It is healthful and promotes both mental
and physical well-being.
THE MEANING OF WORK
Work is the legitimate use of our mental and bodily powers for economic gain of profit.
1. Work is the “use” or application of our physical powers to accomplish a certain
task. It is considered “use” because nobody can own another man’s body, nor can
anyone sell his body or any part of it, for purposes of material advantage and gain.
The sanctity of human life demands preservation, care and proper use of our bodily
faculties.
2. Work is the purpose of obtaining an economic gain for the laborer. It belongs to the
essence of work that is compensated. Such compensation is based on justice and
can take the form of wages, share in harvest or commercial goods.
The Right Work
The right to work is based on natural law. Man has basic needs which must be satisfied in
order for him to survive. This right implies the right to private ownership. If a person cannot
own the means by which he derives his subsistence, then he cannot provide for his life and
for those of his dependents.
Work as a Natural Duty to Oneself
Work is directed to the promotion of life. It is a personal duty since each one has the moral
obligation to take care of himself and not be a burden to others. The obligation assumes
greater proportion as one becomes head of the family.

WORK VALUES

based on your values, your motivation will be greatly increased and your chances of
success and fulfillment will greatly improve.
Developing your values
The first step in developing gender values is to develop your gender sensitivity and raise
your gender awareness. Gender awareness is a way of seeing, a perspective- insights
which form our understanding of people and society. It means looking at things with new
eyes, which are constantly open to new learning.
Understanding the differences between sex and gender, developing the ability to identify
gender issues and biases and appreciating the importance of gender sensitivity, gender

 INFORMATION SHEET No. 3.3-2 GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT
Gender and development (GAD) – are about
being faithful to the principle that development is
for all.
Fairness and equity demand that everyone in
society, whether male or female has the right to
some opportunities to achieve a full and satisfying
life
Principles for Gender-Fair Society
1. Marginalization – both male and female should be given equal pay for work of equal
value, economic independence and economic opportunity
2. Subordination – equality in the quality participation in decision-making and
recognition of capabilities.
3. Multiple burden – there should be shared parenting and shared housework.
4. Gender stereotyping – liberation from stereotyped images where male is considered
superior from female.
5. Violence Against Women – women freedom from violence and from harassment.
Personal – personhood development.
Gender awareness
Gender equality means that women and men enjoy the same status and conditions and
have equal opportunity for realizing their full human rights and potential to contribute to the
national, political, economic, social and cultural development of their countries. They should
also benefit equally from the result of development.
Gender equality is therefore the equal valuing by society of both the similarities and
differences between women and men, and the varying roles that they play.
Gender equity moves beyond a focus on equal treatment. Gender equity is the process of
being fair to women and men. It means giving to those who have less on the basis of
needs, and taking steps to compensate for historical and social disadvantages that prevent
women and men from otherwise operating on a level playing field. Equity can be
understood as the means, and equality is the end. Equity leads to equality.
A gender-blind person is someone who does not explicitly
distinguish between the sexes. Assumptions incorporate biases
in favor of existing gender relations and so tend to exclude
women.

High Self-esteem - is to feel confidently capable for life, or, to feel able and worth, or to feel
right as a person.

Middle ground self-esteem - is to waver between the two

states above, that is, to feel able and useless, right and wrong
as a person, and to show these incongruities in behavior,
acting, at times, wisely, and at rashly others, thus reinforcing
insecurity.

Low self-esteem - corresponds to not feeling ready for life, or

to feeling wrong as a person.
Self-esteem and lack of self-esteem compared.

Self-esteem
 Self-confident
 Feels worthy
 Happy
 Inner Peace
 Respectful
 Can learn from mistakes
 Takes calculated risks
 Can hear criticism
 Accepts and empowers others
 Obstacles a means to move
forwards
 Clarity

PROFESSIONALISM IN THE WORKPLACE
PROFESSIONALISM – is viewed and perceived as the way of respecting the rights of
others. The way to live one’s life as long as it is within the confines of good moral conduct
befitting one’s profession.
“Clients and customers judge a company not only by quality of its products and services but
also by the kind of service personnel who serve them.”

The Three Dimensions of Professionalism

1. Physical projection

This includes:
 Proper grooming- clean cut, no body odor, clean fingernails, well pressed uniform
etc.
 Good posture- straight body, no hands-on pocket, relaxed
 Natural smile
 Eye contact but not sneering look
 Absence of unpleasant mannerism like scratching hair, biting nails, etc. People with

in themselves
 Pleasant disposition, no display of irritation
  Appropriate dress and wardrobes- one that fits the occasion and the place
 Oral hygiene, no bad breath
 Appropriate make up for women, not one that too heavy

Reflect your professionalism in the quality of your output – You are responsible for
submitting a professionally-written resume and letter of intent containing substantive and
meaningful information, convincing enough to make the hiring officers want to employ you,
and not someone else. (Resume is an individually designed document summarizing
personal interest and qualification so that a potential employer will become interested in the
applicant)
Analyze the content of your document – try to identify your qualifications that will make you
stand out from other applicants. Let your grasp of the profession and your intellectual
powers shine through your written documents.
Check for errors and improve documents – conduct a careful review of your documents.
Refine it.
Package yourself:
 Employers are interested in two things about you; knowing yourself and developing
your compatibility with the company.
 Image projection through power dressing, correct hygiene and good grooming. A
good appearance generates a feeling of self-confidence and well-being. Looking
competent has the prime value.
Communication skills – be able to express thoughts, ideas and feelings effectively
whether oral or written.
The cover letter: A cover letter is a business-like written response to an existing job
opening highlighting one’s qualifications for the job or service. It should be so worded that
could sufficiently arouse the would-be employer’s interest about the possible employee for
him to merit an interview. It must be brief and direct to the point.
