Personal skill

You are about to experience a process that will put you in the driver's seat of your success. Whether you want to make more money, have better relationships, start a new career or just lose a few pounds, The Personal Skills Map will show you what you need to know in order to accomplish these or any other goals you may have.
You may have seen or tried one or more of the other success programs being marketed today. They all have one thing in common-they focus on a goal and tell you how to get there.
These other programs assume that if you “do as they do” you will be successful too. The problem with this “cookie-cutter” approach is that they don't know you. They don't know where you are today, so how can they give you directions to where you want to go?
For example—all of us, at one time or another, have taken a trip and gotten lost. What do you do? You stop and ask for directions…..Look at a map….call the person at your destination. The first thing they will ask is “where are you now?” Only then can they tell you how to get where you are going. The Personal Skills Map offers a way to discover where you are now and shows you how to get to where you want to go.
You will begin by discovering for yourself “where you are now” in fourteen critical areas with the use of The Personal Skills Map. On the Personal Map, these fourteen categories are divided into three sections. In the first section of the profile you'll look at the eleven personal skills that have been shown to dramatically improve your ability to get “where you want to go”.
In the second section of the Personal Profile you'll discover which of the three communication styles you prefer to use. Finally, in section three of the Personal Profile, the personal change category will show how important change is to you. This is the “heart” of The Personal Skills Map. No other program on the market today offers this key process for reaching success.
Next, you'll look at the “change” process and learn an easy way to make change exciting and fun. Then you'll select some “goals” that you want to pursue and will learn an easy way to reach your destination. Finally, you will learn how to “activate” the eleven skill areas that will drive you toward your goals.
The Personal Skills Map provides an opportunity for you to describe how you think, feel, or behave in specific situations and how you describe yourself and your present behavior. Answer each item individually indicating if the item is most descriptive (M), sometimes descriptive (S), or least descriptive (L) of your characteristic thoughts, feelings, or behaviors.
The results of the instrument will be meaningful only if you respond as honestly and accurately as possible in describing your present behavior. The Personal Skills Map is not a test, and there are no right or wrong answers. Respond by describing yourself and your behavior as you really are and how you actually think, feel, or behave, not as you would want to be or how you think you "should" be. Make a response to all of the items
You are now ready to start. Just four easy steps—begin by responding to the statements that make up The Personal Skills Map and discover “where you are now,” make change fun, set definite goals with plans, and develop your 11 critical skills. Let's begin.
You are about to being the process of Personal Skills Mapping. A map is only as accurate as the person surveying the territory, so respond to the items with the attitude of self-honesty and objectivity. Your results will be helpful and personally meaningful to the extent that your responses are accurate and self-objective reflections of your current thoughts feelings and personal behaviors.
The Personal Skills Map does not attempt to measure how you are as a person or how you should be. The process of Personal Skills Mapping makes it possible to suggest and design personally meaningful training and learning experiences that will aid you in becoming more effective in your personal and career development. Specific instructions for responding to The Personal Skills Map items are listed on the next screen.
Step 1: Focus on one setting, such as "work" or "school", when you answer these questions.
Step 2: Select the one answer that is most descriptive of you at “school” or "work" by selecting the corresponding check box of the answer or by pressing “M” for “Most of the time”, “S” for “Some of the time”, or “L” for “Least of the time”, followed by the enter key or by selecting the “Next” button.
Step 3: Upon completing all items, you will receive the results of The Personal Skills Map, along with an interpretation of what these results mean to you.

The results that you have plotted on each of the fourteen scales are shown on the map; your raw scores are changed to standard scores. You can now see how your scores compare to a general sample in the U.S. The results that you have are your map or guide for you to consider in further improving yourself, your personal skills are changeable, and you are able to change and grow. As you change, your Personal Skills Map will be strengthened. Your Personal Skills Map scores cannot be thought of as fixed or frozen “traits” or “factors”. Think of your results as self descriptions of your current level of personal skills, and look at your skill strengths. Then consider the skill areas that you want to change and are willing to more fully develop or improve.
