SIMPLE STEPS TO DEVELOP YOURSELF
No one is flawless or perfect, but all must strive toward suppressing weakness and projecting strength for likeability and opportunity. All humans have aspects of themselves they need to work on. Simple steps to improve one’s self include:
1. COMMUNICATION: For communication to have taken place effectively, the information passed must be understood by the party for which it was meant. The means of passing this information could be oral, written or electronic. An ineffective or lack of communication may lead to misunderstanding, wrong perception, confusion or worsen a bad situation. An individual should engage and familiarize with all forms of communication including verbal, non-verbal, and written, as communicating with new people on social platforms or as an influencer will help boost more self-confidence.
2. EMPOWERMENT: Today, empowerment has become one of the most important concerns of the 21st century, especially among women, youths and employees as it improves social skills, behaviour, academic achievement, self-esteem and self-efficacy. This is a multi-dimension of social process that helps you gain control over your life. Empowerment is becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life. Aspects of one’s life that may be empowered include social, educational, economic, political and psychological. Empowerment challenges your assumption about the way things are, and can be. Ways one can self-empower consist of self-appraisal, grooming, research, and behavioural re-brand.
3. FOCUS: An individual involved in three different things and not good at all of them, and another person focused on one of these three things he or she is best at it. After testing out the services they both have in common, who do you think will be called back next time the same service is needed again? Think about that.
Focus is to give special attention to a particular thing or person. When one is focused on something, they are paying attention to it. If your eyes are focused; they make the adjustments to see clearly. Focus gives you a central point of attention. Backed with the right skills, it makes you the best in what you do. It is not about the number of things you do but how best you can perform a task. Self-introspection enables one to focus on aspects of themselves that need improvement.
