Oprah's Free Workshop

Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently
by Marcus Buckingham

Today women are better educated, have better jobs, better pay, more choices about mates, careers ... just about everything. But that has not translated into women being happier. Actually with more choices the opposite is true. Womens overall happiness has been on a steady decline since 1972. This decline in happiness occurs across the board, regardless of whether women have children, how many they have, or how much they earn.

Marcus Buckingham is a well known researcher. He has written five previous books which centered around the concept that each person will be happiest when they are working from their greatest strength. Find Your Strongest Life got its start from a three hour workshop with Oprah. The workshop was conducted with 30 talented but unfulfilled women.

In his mission statement Marcus says, "My mission is to help each person identify her strengths, take them seriously and offer them to the world."

As you read the book you will discover facts, read some eye opening research, and see that many women are living a life based on myths more so than truth. Reading the stories of women seeking will help you to see that you are not alone on this journey.

Are you stuck in a job you hate? Feel like you just don't have enough to give to your professional life and your personal life? You're not alone. Career coach Marcus Buckingham met with a group of women just like you to help them figure out how to reignite the passion in their careers. Now it's your turn! Take Marcus's step-by-step workshop and use his lessons to change your life.

Finding Good Examples Of Personal Development Plans   

If you have decided to make a development plan for personal growth then you are on the right step. You know that there are things in your life that you want to change, and you are willing to take the necessary steps in changing them. While writing the development plan may seem like the easy part compared to actually implementing the plan, writing this development plan can actually be quite a challenge. It can be difficult to know exactly what to write and how to organize your personal development plan. To help you organize your thoughts and ideas, it might help to find good examples of personal development plans.

------------------------------------

Great examples of personal development plans will include several things. First, it will be easy to understand. The explanations will be short and succinct, but include many things. It is important that examples of personal development plans are not excessively verbose, as this can lead to confusion. Second, the development plan will have several different points. A great personal development plan will touch on many different ideas and levels instead of just one thing. It will focus on realizing what you need to change, ideas to begin this change, and a final evaluation.

Part One: Recognition

--------------------------------------

The first part of the examples of personal development plans will include recognition of your flaws. A great example of this part will have an explanation of various things you might want to change. In the example personal development plan, you will be able to see exactly how to outline your changes.

Part Two: How To Change

The second part of the examples of personal development plans will have ways to implement a change to start personal development and growth. A good example will tell you to set a realistic time frame and stick to it. It will also tell you to be very, very specific in this section. Do not simply say "I want to start a workout program to lose weight." Instead, put down specific parts of your workout program, what you will do on what day, what time you will go running, and what gym you will purchase a membership for.

Part Three: Final Evaluation

The final evaluation is an important part of the examples of personal development plans. The final evaluation is just as important as the first two parts of the example. This is where you look back at what you changed and see if you actually implemented your plan successfully. Make sure that your example shows you how to piece together a final evaluation.
