Life and social skills: Private tuition: Hebden Bridge

Life skills tutoring is a form of assisted personal and professional development.

If you find it hard to learn new skills and knowledge from books, then private tutoring can be a great help.

Defining personal development

‘Life-skills developments’ are specific forms of ‘personal development’ in general.  Personal development happens whether we want it or not.  We have to grow and develop in order to deal with each new challenge we face in life.  The only question is, are we good at doing this on our own, or do we sometimes need some help?

But what do we mean by the term ‘personal development’?  Here is one definition:

“Personal development is an often used but rarely explained term. It is about investing in yourself so that you can manage yourself effectively regardless of what life might bring your way. Personal development allows you to be proactive. Rather than wait for good things to happen, you get out there and make them happen. You may not always achieve your objective, but you will experience a richer and more rewarding life when you commit to pursuing your own objectives. Making that commitment to personal development is the first step on the path to personal fulfilment.” (Source: http://www.coachingpositiveperformance.com/6-core-benefits-personal-development/)

But what are some of the most important life skills which contribute to effective personal and professional development? Here is a brief and incomplete list:

• Problem solving.
• Decision making.
• Critical thinking/perspicacity.
• Creative thinking/lateral thinking.
• Effective communication.
• Assertiveness.
• Interpersonal relationship skills.
• Self-awareness/mindfulness/meditation.
• Time management.
• Stress management.
• Body-brain-mind integration and self-care: including regular physical exercise.
• And many more besides.

Perhaps you do not want or need counselling or life coaching as such.  But perhaps you could benefit from some private tuition, to sharpen and hone some your rusty skills, or to learn some new skills.

Private tutoring in Life and social skills development is an investment in a better, more successful future.

If you want to grow as a person, at home or at work, then I can help you.

Please call me today to find out more about my private tutoring service, in Hebden Bridge.

Renata
