Personal development refers to the ongoing process of improving one's skills, knowledge, self-awareness, and habits to reach fuller potential in both personal and professional life. It encompasses activities like goal-setting, reading, coaching, therapy, and skill-building courses, and is a major driver of the self-help book and seminar industry. Employers increasingly value employees who pursue personal development as it correlates with adaptability and leadership growth.
