One of the most important goals people give up on, is that of personal development. From a business perspective, companies tend to focus more on training technical skills than personal development, focusing on courses that will directly benefit the business.
With the festive season now a distant memory, the year has gotten into its groove. This leads to many setting their New Year’s Resolutions aside or giving up on them entirely. Over time the idea of a New Year’s Resolution has become something of a ‘wash, rinse, repeat’ cycle – something we attempt year after year, often without real progress.

Somewhere along the line, something isn’t working. Could it be ‘reality setting in’, or is there something we are missing?
