PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
– THE KEY TO SUCCESS
“ You can have the best idea, service or product in the world. But
if you ain’t got the people who can deliver, then it’s not worth
a penny piece.”
Gavin Walker (Editor) - Business Connections
People have become the most sought after commodity in western markets. Not
just any people – but people who have the drive, confidence, attitude
and motivation to make things happen.
Personal development is about how to develop this
drive, confidence, attitude and self-motivation – it is the vital
ingredient in coaching success. We can empower the individual to achieve
new levels of competency and improve the performance of the organisation
as a whole.
A recent UK survey of more than 1000 Chief Executives
and HR Directors evaluating the application of key HR practices, including
the provision of extensive staff training and development, found that employees
in firms implementing good HR practice consistently demonstrate more positive
attitudes and behaviour. This is directly linked to lower absenteeism, higher
productivity and improved financial results.
Unfortunately, many organisations still regard people
as expenses while stock, supplies and buildings are viewed, not only on
the balance sheet, as assets.
If training is provided at all, it is often only
in the technical requirements of a post rather than in the area of personal
development. Staff can often be treated as though they inhabit two different
worlds; their personal world that is home and family and their career world
that is the office, factory or bank.
Whilst many try to keep the two worlds apart we,
at Kee Training, believe that the skills and attitudes which help you grow
and develop in your personal life also improve your effectiveness at work,
and vice versa. To be fully effective, people require training in the ‘will
to win’ as well as the ‘skill to win’.
The best organisations have already woken up to this.
They are aware of the clear link between personal development and business
performance. If people know that their organisation views them as valued
individuals and is committed to maximising their potential a people as well
employees, both their performance and job satisfaction increase.
• The key to a good business is having good
people
• The key to having and retaining good people is training.
• The key to success in your career as in your personal life is attitude.
A positive mental attitude is a person’s most
priceless possession and a marketable asset. The over-riding aim of our
Personal Development Training is to help people recognise this fact and
teach them how to develop, maintain and renew a positive attitude both at
work and at home and to cultivate an improved work/life balance.
