Dear {FNAME},
Personal development is a way to better understand yourself, your unique personality and potential, strengths and weaknesses, aspirations, and talents. A self-actualization is a vital tool used in personal development.
According to American psychologist Abraham Maslow, all individuals have a built-in need for personal development, which occurs through a process called self-actualization. Self-actualization refers to self-fulfillment and the need to reach full potential as a unique human being.
Maslow developed a hierarchy of needs to describe the extent to which people can develop. Only when one level of need is satisfied can a higher one be developed.
The basics for survival are located at the base of the hierarchy and include nourishment, sleep, and shelter.
Second, are the needs for safety and security in both the physical and economic sense.
Thirdly, progression can be made to satisfy the need for love and belonging.
The fourth level refers to meeting the need for self-esteem and self-worth.
The fifth level relates to abstract ideas such as curiosity and the search for meaning or purpose, and a deeper understanding.
The sixth relates to the aesthetic needs of beauty, symmetry, and order.
Finally, at the top of Maslow’s hierarchy is the need for self-actualization.
Where are you on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs?
Knowing yourself is an essential aspect of personal development. Have you ever taken a DISC personality test?
In John Maxwell's book, the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, the Law of Awareness states: "You must know yourself to grow yourself." The Maxwell Method of DISC is designed to help you better know yourself, as well as provide you with insight on how you can grow yourself.
The DISC is based on human behavior. Dr. William Moulton Marston, while at Harvard University in the 1920s, developed the DISC theory while doing research for his book, The Emotions of Normal People. When his research was complete, the DISC Theory was formed into a validated and reliable assessment for personal and professional development. DISC is the proven methodology used by the Maxwell leadership team to help you identify four different dimensions: your Behavior style, Communication style, your Strengths, and your work style.
If you are interested in learning more about your personality, I will be offering a Free DISC assessment, and a 30-minute complimentary debrief on your DISC report to the first six people who contact me before March 9, 2024, Contact me here https://danhoustonassociates.com/about-us/
