After being in the Personal Development/Self-Help Industry for years, I have found some Vital Principles to achieving health, wealth, and happiness that is completely misunderstood.
What is Personal Development?
Personal Development is the process in which individuals learn and grow through self exploration, spirituality, clearing methods and meditations like; NLP, EFT, Ho' Oponopono, Muscle Testing, Energy Work, to be able to achieve one's true potential in life.
Personal Development can be a fantastic tool for single people who are trying to genuinely want to improve themselves, if done properly and with the right organization. I have been a follower for years of Nightingale Conant and believe in their products and have even worked in their coaching department as a consultant.
John Cummuta, Robert Kiyosaki, Wayne Dyer, Zig Ziglar, David Bach, Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, Joe Vitale, Mark Victor Hansen, Tony Robbins, Steven Covey, Dale Carnegie, Bryan Tracy, and Jim Rohn are some of the Best Known Personal Development names in the business, and they are all authors at Nightingale Conant.
I met the President of Nightingale Conant and some of their authors, Bryan Tracy and Joe Vitale in person. Many of these Gurus help with time management, financial, relationships, mental performance, business, communication, etc.
Although they are successful, I have worked first hand with their students who didn't always have the best results and I wasn't sure why.
Cracking the Nut!
As a former Personal Development coach myself, I used materials from these Personal Development Gurus to help me in my coaching career. I spent years coaching individuals on improving their life and achieving their personal goals through my Life Balance System.
Through my Life Balance Coaching, I would help clients Discover what area of life was most important to them and train them to make it their most valuable area. 99% of the time, clients would choose "Relationship with Spouse" as their highest priority.
As I coached these clients and helped them build better relationships with their spouse, I found out quickly that in order for the change to be permanent we needed to get the other spouse involved. But how? Education.
I went back to school for a Masters in Psychology and began my research in understand marriage. I also studied individuals and couples who have been through coaching and therapy programs to find out what went wrong in their marriage.
After years of experience and research...this is what I discovered.
Through Experience: Personal Development works great for individuals wanting personal change. Whether the help is in business/career, time management, personal finance, or health, personal development can be extremely effective!
Most of the clients I worked with at Nightingale Conant were either looking for business development or they were single people who desperately needed to clear limiting beliefs and make drastic change in their life. For these people personal development was the right fit.
Married Clients were not the most ideal clients in the personal development programs that I coached. Either one spouse was not supportive or the couple could not work well together through the coaching process. I began to uncover why...
Through Research: All Individuals seek for Happiness. Happiness is found in many ways, but the most lasting is in Successful Marriage and Family Relationships.
Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of needs Theory, set out to prove individual motivation but the was missing a key component. A group of psychologists put the crowing piece on the top of the theory. Self-actualization was replaced with Parenting and Marital Relationships were added to the top of the pyramid after much research and debate.
Logically, in order to be a great parent, couples need to first have a Thriving Marriage. Children are best parented in two parent households where both Mom and Dad are there to parent. Thriving Marriages are more than just a Healthy Marriage.
Healthy Marriages if not careful can end up like the Titanic. They need to move past doing "OK" in their marriage and become a Thriving partnership for good. The Titanic Effect is summed up by explaining how the captain of the Titanic gave into pride and didn't listen to Iceberg warnings until it was too late.
In marriage there are 3 Major Icebergs; Time, Sex, and Money. Unfortunately, as I studied the marriage industry I found two schools of thought. Marriage Education and Marriage Therapy. Educators worked hard to educate couples of the big 3 and teach couples skills to communicate. Therapists wait until marriages are in the perpetual ditch and try to help couples out. Both serve their purpose but not effective enough as the majority of marriages still end in divorce.
Conclusion
After 12 years of research and experience here is what I concluded.
