Starting a Personality Development School: What Course Material Should I Include?

bharti velvet
I am in the process of starting my personality development school. Please help me with the course material.

Personality Development? It fills me with horror. Unless you are a psychologist, brain surgeon, or a brilliant magician, you really shouldn't mess with people's minds if you have no clue what you are doing. Behavioral development may be a more appropriate title.

Hi Bharti, With due apologies, someone helping others in personality development needs to be a very balanced personality themselves. I am glad to know you are a psychologist, so I am sure you will be handling the matter very professionally. However, people took time out to comment candidly on your request, and a little care in handling their concerns would have been appreciated. Nonetheless, I wish you all the best in your undertaking.

Regards,
Beverly

Bharti, you may well feel aggrieved at the comments here, but it was something you brought on yourself by not fully explaining in your original post. But when you think about it carefully, you will surely understand why we had/have concerns.

The Role of a Psychologist

My point is this: you are a Psychologist, and that's fine. As a Psychologist, you have more training and skills than many other members here. YOU are supposed to be "the expert" on this stuff, NOT US. YOU need to be using your skills, experience, research, and contacts with your peers and colleagues to develop the sort of material you want to teach in your school. We do not have your insights and experience in this field.

Starting a School: Key Considerations

Why are you trying to start a school if you have no idea what you are going to teach and how you are going to teach it? Do you see my problem with this?

I run a training business. I do not ask other people for training material. I work out what sort of courses I want to teach, and then I do the research and write those courses. After teaching those courses for a while, I then modify them based on what I learn each time I present it to a group.

Steps to Develop Your Business Plan

I would suggest that you sit down and put a lot more work into working out just what it is you want to achieve with this business. Write a proper business plan, decide what sort of courses you are going to teach, write those courses, test them first, and then set up your school.
