Should personality profiling have a place in people development?

Developing the whole person - the problem with personality profiles I have a problem with using personality profiles that measure types and traits in personal development, which should be about change!

A recent post by Rob, on why you should dig a little deeper to understand people's motivations as a leader - which includes coaches of course!

It's blindingly obvious that hashtag is fundamental to getting the best out of people as a leader or manager, right? But consider this:

There are stated motivations and there are basic motives which may be different. If you can get into people's basic motives more opportunities to engage them open up.

I'm competing this weekend in a masters meet. Work, family and dodgy knees mean I'm not anywhere near where I'd like to be. You'll all have been in this position or will face it. How can you ensure that it isn't a negative experience?

1) Reset expectations. Don't go into the meet targeting PBs. The lack of preparation will undermine your confidence to meet those expectations and promote anxiety. It really is OK not to have performance goals (times) or outcome goals (position) in mind

2) Focus on the process. Consider all aspects of your meet from warming up and prep, to diet, effort, ex*****on etc and focus on a small number of key things. Importantly, evaluate your performance on these things too.

3) Choose to enjoy the meet. It is a choice. Freeing yourself from unrealistic expectations and focusing on the process will help you with this

If you go into a meet underprepared and take the right approach, you might just pleasantly surprise yourself and come out happy :-)
