Ans: Hi Abhay,

Here are some signs you may look at-

If you are facing any communication challenges and you struggle putting across your thoughts will complete clarity due to which conflicts/ misunderstanding / arguments might have occurred

If you often feel low on confidence in various situations, addressing self esteem and self confidence through personality development can make a positive impact.

If you find yourself struggling to maintain a strong and positive relationship then enhancing interpersonal relationships, empathy and emotional intelligence can improve your ability to connect with others.

You find yourself in various situations like - lacking in been assertiveness, inability to handle stress, you often procrastinate, struggle in managing time, negative attitude, difficulty in accepting feedback, lack of goal clarity.

Please know that personality development will be an ongoing process. Importantly self awareness is the key.

Ans: Hello

As humans we all have some empty parts and broken sides, we need to embrace and accept them.

Yes there is always a scope for growth and improvement and one should take that up but not at the cost of self flogging.

Ask yourself which part of your personality you sincerely believe you want to make changes and then start making those changes slowly...don't expect everything will change overnight...we humans are not like a switch ...that can be tuned on or off...

The fact that you are open to embracing change in itself is a start. Wishing you the very best.

Warm regards

Ans: Dear Prakash,

For communication you can look at the below mentioned options-

Read Books
Speak everyday in English (if you are facing challenge in this language)
Record yourself and hear and accordingly work on the gaps
Seek feedback on your communication from your friends and family and improve

Learning and practicing helps in regular improvements
