Personal Development Skills

Personal development skills are abilities that can help you with self-development and personal growth. These skills help you grow as an individual, and are geared towards helping you improve your well-being. Many experts argue that personal skills are just as important as professional skills, because they help broaden your perspectives.

Examples of personal development skills:

  • Self-awareness skills help you understand your values, strengths and weaknesses.
  • Emotional intelligence skills help you understand the perspectives of those around you. They can also help you manage your own emotions.
  • Time management skills help you manage your precious time. You can learn techniques to plan your day and get the most out of life.
  • Resilience skills can teach you to recover from challenging situations.
  • Self-discipline skills teach you to stay on track with your goals, even under pressure or when you are distracted.
  • Personal growth skills teach you to believe in your ability to learn, and help you tackle challenges and embrace failures. In fact, the "failing fast" principle encourages you to rather fail fast (and learn faster), than try and be too careful.

Interpersonal Skills

Interpersonal skills help you engage with others and help build relationships.

Examples of interpersonal skills are:

  • Communication skills are essential to help you communicate effectively. They help you listen, speak, write and express yourself so that others understand you. Getting an important message across to people who are listening is extremely important.
  • Collaboration skills enhance your ability to work within a team because you learn to share responsibilities, work with others and value their contributions.
  • Conflict resolution skills allow you to manage conflict situations and find solutions that make all parties happy. They can also help you protect relationships.
  • Empathy skills will allow you to put on someone else's hat (walk in their shoes) to understand where they are coming from. Master empathy, and you will excel at building powerful relationships.
  • The skill of negotiation is beneficial in both personal and professional settings. It allows you to engage in discussions with other parties, but it may require you to compromise.
  • Many aspire to have leadership skills as they allow you to lead (not micro-manage) others by mentoring, inspiring and motivating them. You will also need to make decisions.
  • Mastering the skill of adaptability is not easy because not all of us are flexible and open to change. Being adaptable means you can adjust to different circumstances and work with other groups of people with differing views.


Professional Skills

Professional skills refer to skills that you can use within your career. They allow you to perform tasks focussed on a specific job or qualification. These skills can range from easy to advanced and take weeks, months, or years to acquire.

Here are examples of professional skills:

  • Technical skills require specific knowledge of tools and technologies used within a particular job. For example, driving a forklift, building software programs, or handling machinery.
  • Non-technical skills such as business analysis help close the gap between technical teams and users. It involves listening and understanding users' problems, drafting requirements, and ensuring technical teams can implement solutions to solve those problems.
  • Project management skills involve strategic planning, managing resources (people, budget), executing the project plan, and ensuring the project is completed on time. Project managers need to give the project team a clear vision of project milestones, draft tasks to meet those milestones and ensure all activities on the critical path are completed.
  • Networking skills allow you to establish professional relationships with your colleagues, stakeholders, industry peers and potential clients to share knowledge and opportunities.
  • Good problem-solving skills allow you to apply creativity while critically resolving problems. With this skill, you can analyze situations and find ways to fix the identified issues.


Health and Well-being Skills

Maintaining and improving your health is a vital skill that positively or negatively impacts all other skills. Think about when you are sick and how this affects your thinking ability. Keeping your body and mind healthy is as important as learning a new technical skill for your career.

Here are some key health skills you should master:

Keeping physically fit helps your body and mind regulate and repair itself. It positively impacts your heart, immune system, muscles, bones, sleep, stress, mood, and energy levels. It also improves the cognitive function of the brain. Imagine comparing two versions of yourself: one that exercises and one that does not. Who would out-perform the other?

Ensuring your mental health is sound is just as important. If you feel you can't cope with work and life, your overall life experience will decline. People with mental health issues struggle to manage time, close out tasks and find it difficult to interact with family and colleagues. Poor mental health will impact how you grow your skills, and we view this skill as one of the most essential skills to learn. Ways to improve your mental health include meditation, deep breathing, connecting with family or friends, or pursuing a hobby you enjoy.

Achieving a healthy work-life balance can be challenging. We get so caught up in our busy lives we forget to take time off. Imagine yourself on a see-saw, with life on the one side and work on the other. How does the see-saw balance for you? If it's unbalanced, you need to enhance your work-life balance skills by being purposeful in rebalancing these two.

You are what you eat! - Eating the wrong foods reduces your well-being and performance. A poor diet can impact the speed at which you learn new skills and how you interact with people. It can also slow down your cognitive thinking. How did you feel after a sugar level spike and drop when you ate a large chocolate bar? - Eating healthy helps you learn better.

Achieving good sleep is a skill that should be mastered above all other skills. During sleep, toxins are removed from the brain through the brain-cleaning (glymphatic) system. Sleep consolidates memory so that you can retain information (retain skills) you learned during the day. It also helps regulate your emotions and repair brain neurons. If you are committed to developing professional skills, a good sleeping skill should be at the top of your wish list because this skill complements all other skills.

Life Skills

Life skills give you balance by equipping you with various abilities, such as navigating daily challenges, making informed decisions and building a life full of fulfillment and joy. These skills help us achieve overall well-being and grow us personally.

Here are some examples of life skills:

Securing your future through financial literacy is essential as it lays a foundation for building wealth. This skill includes budgeting, saving, investing, and managing your debts. It is one of the most important skills to master as it unlocks your ability to gain further access to educational institutions, which can help you gain future skills and enhance your career.

Home management skills include cooking, cleaning, house maintenance and time management. We all know that if your home is in crisis, it impacts how you function at work. Finding the right balance of home and work tasks can be challenging.

Self-sufficient skills help you with first aid, survival skills and problem-solving. Knowing how to respond to medical emergencies can save the lives of loved ones.

Skills that help you improve your health and well-being are essential as they can impact your progress in attaining other skills. Physical fitness, mental health, sleep and hygiene can significantly impact your well-being and outlook on life. Taking time to prioritise these skills will extend your life and help you secure a brighter future for your career and loved ones.

Being an effective communicator helps you understand others and get your point across in various situations. These skills involve listening, attention, and using the appropriate body and facial expressions. Understanding someone else's perspective helps you respond more meaningfully, which can help build strong relationships. Good writing skills allow you to solidify your ideas and thoughts.

Caring for your environment helps you contribute towards the sustainability of our planet. These skills include recycling, conserving precious resources, reducing waste and adopting renewable energy solutions.

Cultural and Creative Skills

Cultural and creative skills are mostly used in the arts, heritage, media, and creative industries. Various professions, such as artists, designers, writers, filmmakers and musicians use these skills. These skills help promote creativity and cultural expression.

Learning these skills helps you become a well-rounded individual and makes you an interesting person to socialize with, as you can share your experiences with others. These skills also broaden your perspectives and experiences and are key to unlocking a healthy work-life balance.

Some examples of cultural and creative skills are:

Artistic skills include visual and performing arts, music, dance, and literature. Learning to paint, play music, and participate in theatrical productions can help you understand these skills.

Cultural skills teach you about different cultures and how to respect them.

Learning additional languages helps you communicate with other people from different cultures.

Participating in community service helps you understand the challenges faced in your community and helps build stronger community relationships.
