Counselling Homework, Activity One!

Hello, now that i am onto the next level of my counselling training, there is a whole new bunch of homework, this time round they are called Activities not Tasks. Apparently activities are more fun!

Activity one:

Part One

• What is self development?
• What areas for self development can you identify? Transfer answers onto a piece of paper to present to class(blog) for discussion.
• In what ways can these areas be achieved?
• What might be some barriers to achievement?

Part Two

Personal Development Plan

• Identify the areas in your life or about yourself that you would like to change.
• What opportunities are available to you for self development?
• What are the pro’s and con’s of each?
• What might be the effect of your development on significant others?
• Design a table, chart or piece of artwork which includes a series of personal goals and information about how and when you will attain them.

The last part of the Activity can be thought of as a long term thing, remember to set realistic goals!
