Why Enigma Development, Why Now?
The Problem
Big societal changes are among the key factors that have contributed to a huge need and desire for personal development, whether focused on interpersonal skills, social confidence or other areas.
These 'soft skills' are frequently ignored or overlooked in mainstream education, leaving individuals to the lottery of natural talent or trying to develop them on their own without guidance - by accident or by fortunate absorption from friends or family.
Typical problems highlighted are:
-
An exponential increase in electronic communication (emails, text messages, social networking sites). Purely electronic communication waters down key interpersonal skills such as reading body language and signals, and appearing and sounding confident in person. This is also reflected by a decline in the clarity of analysis, writing and speaking which is crucial to effective development
- A general feeling of more stress and longer hours at work, with life getting faster and giving us less time to think, talk and relax. Many of us feel rushed and pressured all the time, so less confident about who we are and where our lives are going. This makes many people more passive, resigned, apathetic and insecure about themselves. When you feel this way, it inevitably feeds into your communication and outward image.
The Solution
Some people are ‘born communicators’, just as some people are ‘naturally confident’. But the methods and skills they employ can be successfully harnessed by anyone, refining them for use in their daily lives.
Anyone can benefit from the increased confidence, better communication skills etc. that come within the compass of successful personal development. All it takes is an appreciation of how crucial this area is to success in life. Goals can be to boost your employability, job success, personal success, social network, energy levels and self-esteem.
