1. Professional Development
and Applied Ethics

4. How to Gain?
Self-analysis
•requires people to examine themselves as an object in an
experience or event.
• is not always an easy process, yet it is a necessary skill for
synthesizing information relevant to professional or
personal effectiveness.
• begin with reflection on and exploration of thoughts and
feelings associated with effective events.

5. Behavior
•is the way in which we conduct ourselves-the way in which we
act.
•is influenced by our feelings, judgments, beliefs, motivations,
needs, experience and opinions of others.
• Patterns of behaviour develop through our reactions to
events and actions over a period of time

6. Behavior consist of four components:
Motivation:
• The drive to pursue one action over another.
• core drivers, those things that motivate you positively or
negatively
Modes of thinking:
• process the various inputs your brain receives.
• Being aware of how you take in and make sense of
information.

7. Modes of acting:
•the course of action you apply in a given situation. Being
aware of how you express your reaction to the things that
happen to and around you
Modes of interacting:
•the way in which you communicate and share ideas,
opinions and feelings with others.
• Being aware of how you talk and work with others.

8. DEVELOPING
POSITIVE
PERSONALITY

9. DEVELOPING POSITIVE PERSONALITY:
Subconscious Programming :
• Most of us sometimes get programmed / conditioned by a wrong
messages that “ do not do that”, “don’t take the risk”, “you cannot do
that” you are not good in …and so on….. You can imagine the bad
effect such message can have on any person.
• And the Subconscious Mind is a store of all the previously
programmed or conditioned information / knowledge/ believes. Now
programming personality means putting positive believes/
information into the store without the knowledge of the watchman
(conscious mind).

10. DEVELOPING POSITIVE PERSONALITY:
Reinforced Programming / Conscious Programming:
• the positive traits despite negative response from comparison with
the store house also gives success in programming for personality
traits.
• the conscious way to programmed the subconscious mind for
positive traits. It is the effective method of voluntary development of
positive traits and attitudes.
• Auto-suggestion should be mixed with emotions. All such reinforced
/ conscious programming which have been emotionalized (giving
feeling) and mixed with applied faith; begin immediately to translate
themselves into physical or real equivalent

11. DEVELOPING POSITIVE PERSONALITY:
Defensive Approach:
•One of this type of approach is protest or deny the negative
traits at it’s very beginning of the entering in the subconscious
store. And the second is to consciously avoid this type of
environment or situation. In real life situation it is very difficult
because it may lead to confrontation and argument or Inaction.
•Another problem in this is that most of us have some negative
traits previously in our store house due to our past experience
and conditioning.

12. DEVELOPING POSITIVE PERSONALITY:
Imaginary Anchoring or Invisible Counseling Committee:
•While watching a picture we anchor the Hero, placing ourselves
in place of hero. Similarly we can anchor Great men in
imagination and let them shape our personality. Another is the
Invisible Counseling Committee comprising of great
personalities of your choice. We can counsel from these great
minds at times or situation. What decision or action he would
have been taken in my situation.

13. DEVELOPING POSITIVE PERSONALITY:
Physical Action / Body Language Approach:
•In general it is the positive practice or experiencing desired
traits whether the desired perfection achieved or not.
•It is generally said that our personality traits control our body
language. But it is a fact that the reverse is also true. This
means we can change our negative traits towards positive traits
by consciously practicing the body language for positive traits.

14. DEVELOPING POSITIVE PERSONALITY:
Domino-effect. Direct exposure to good personalities or
environment:
•Here the direct environment is the driving force in shaping the
personalities. When one constantly remains in direct contact
with great personalities will enriches his own to be the one.
Similarly the organization culture and structure also many
times influences ones personality. Sometimes it is the guiding
principle for job satisfaction / recruitment.

15. Professional development and CPD
CPD has been defined as, ‘The continuation of a professional development
beyond their initial training, qualification, and induction’.
This definition suggests that professional development takes place during
initial training, and CPD is the extension of such development after the
award of a qualification.
However, this straightforward definition belies the reality of what has
beendeemed an ‘ambiguous and contested concept’ for which ‘confusion is
apparent in the wide range of opinions on and attitudes to [both its] aims
and benefits’.

16. How does professional development occur in individuals?
There is broad agreement that a wide range of activities can lead to
professional development in individuals, from reflection to conversations ,
peer-coaching, and the daily engagement with the job at hand.
Domains of professional development in individuals
Before exploring the leading theories of how professional development
occurs in individuals, it is worth considering the domains in which an
individual may develop professionally.
It describes adult learning as ‘making changes – in our thinking, knowing,
feeling and doing’ , and these cognitive, intellectual, attitudinal and
behavioural elements are present in Evans’ taxonomy of professional
development.
