Research
on Personal Development
What is it Showing and Why Does it
Matter?
Research
on Personal Development is
gaining momentum due to
popularity, but what
is it showing? Here you'll find statistical evidence proving
that...
Personal development overall increases
health, happiness and success.
Why
is there so much research on personal development? Because,
while some people are really interested in personal development...
Many
still think that they can “get by” without it, even
thinking it is a form of vanity and feel skeptical about whether or not
it works.
So, for all you skeptics out there (and
those of you who aren't) here is some statistical evidence based on
research on personal development that shows what happens when you
consider personal development an important part of your life.
Research
on Personal
Development
What Are They Finding?
One
study done by the International Coach Federation gathered the comments
and opinions of 210 coaching clients.
This study
found that
the clients who were coached made a positive change in their personal
work habits, which were the habits making them survive when things got
tough, like a recession...
The International Coach
Federation
study went onto reveal the following statistics about those clients who
took personal development seriously enough to employ a coach:
62.4%
of employees got smarter in goal-setting...
60.5%
of
employees received a more balanced life...
57.1%
of
employees experienced the lowest levels of stress...
52.4%
of employees became more self-confident...
43.3% of
employees
improved the quality of their life...
And the
“bottom line” - 25.7% of employees received more
revenue!
This research on personal development
discovered more
interesting facts...
For instance, 33.8% of the
workers
became healthier and fitter...
Some 33.3% had
enriched their
relationship with their family...
And 25.7% of them
left their
vices and bad habits behind.
All of these results
happened as a
“result” of each client devoting time to personal
development.
On the other hand, another study
discovered that
42% of today's companies do not believe in personal development
coaches, yet,
conversely, this same study revealed that if these companies had used a
coach, they would have increased their income by 46%...
Why
does that happen?
Because if you take personal
development
seriously enough to make consistent progress, you'll find that it
teaches you to reflect on your life and determine where it needs
improvement...
It teaches you to see your own
strengths and
optimize them...
And it improves your career because
you're
motivated and regard your self and your career more valuable and
important!
Research
on Personal
Development
Summary
These
are just a few findings, but more research
on
personal development is being
done even as you read this
article...
And
since these surveys were done in the “corporate
world,” it's apparent that personal development is important
in your work and career life...
But it also teaches
you to
balance your work life with your family life.
Why?
Because
as you improve your job/career, you also improve your confidence and
your role at home...
You set goals and stick to
them...
You
focus on what's positive, what's important and what's helpful in your
life.
If you're healthier and happier, you're more
successful in every aspect of your life, especially at work...
Which
makes your employer and/or business more successful...
Which
means more revenue!
Personal development, thus,
creates a win-win situation for you, your family, your employer, and/or
your employees.
The research shows that it is a
subject well worth your time and focus if you want better health, more
happiness and extraordinary success!
