Diversity and Personal Development

Since our communities are becoming more diverse, one of the ways we can all grow as part of our own personal development is to expose ourselves to more diversity. Get to know people from other cultures, races and countries. We have great opportunities to do this right at our own Toastmasters club. When doing so, you will likely be faced with lots of foreign sounding names. So it's a great idea to confirm people's names and don't be shy to ask how to correctly pronounce their names. When people see that you are making an effort to pronounce their names correctly, it really opens up communications and shows that you care enough. This alone is a skill that is great for personal development.

Personal Development With Adventure Travel

I just got the latest brochure from Adventure Canada which features very exclusive travel trips to the unique places in the world.  Their trips look great with lots of wildlife, culture and even opportunities to scuba dive in locations in the Pacific Ocean.  This type of adventure travel of course is great for personal development.  Travel to unique places in the world and getting exposed to things that one would not normally see at home can all contribute to one's personal development as a better appreciation of the world is achieved.  Indeed, travel was actually discussed as one way to contribute to personal development in Clint Cora's book, The Life Champion In You.
