![]() ![]() Yes, personal development can be used for unhealthy ends, like anything else. However, it is too much to ask to expect us not to be human. I appreciate that when working with the most vulnerable parts of people, as we do in personal development, we need to be extra vigilant and take responsibility for not being a twat. I’ve even seen some dramas amongst the staff at Tesco (and my local Tesco is great!). Academia, medicine, law, media, science, any other religion ever. Please tell me any human endeavour that doesn’t attract insufferable fools sometimes. I could do that s**t for hours.īut here’s the thing (you knew there would be a thing), SO BLOODY WHAT. I also do LOVE a personality profile, talking about myself, and generally spending ages contemplating my naval and trying to ‘understand’ myself. I can recall many an evangelical moment where I was all ‘oooooh now I am so wise, look at me’ or other times where I was all ‘nope nope nothing to see here, move along, I definitely do NOT have a problem with boundaries, leave me alone while I crash into this boundary right here mmmkay?’. Of course they do… And if I am honest, they can come across as a little insufferable at times…ĭoes this person exist in me too? I think so. That they like to ‘teach’ before they like to take a genuine, long hard look at themselves. That they come at people with scary positivity and very little self-awareness. We have all seen the way that they refuse to be laid bare. We all know someone wounded who is in permanently trying to fix themselves and their uncomfortable feelings. that I am, I do actually end up ruminating over such ideas. The problem is that being the kind of deep thinking ummmm… naval gazer…. What I love about this is that they manage to communicate this belief with the mere flick of the eyes whenever I talk about anything work related. There are people in my life – who shall remain nameless even though they would never in a million years read this, ahem – who are extremely disparaging about personal development, convinced such as they are that it is the neurotic endeavour of naval gazing fools who are permanently in a state of pretence and self-obsession.
