Short description

“MethodKit for Personal Development” is a kit that highlights the vital aspects of understanding who you are, what you are good at, where you are now and where you want to be heading. In the same way as other MethodKits it can be used individually but also in groups. For instance you can ask your family and closest friends to help you in answering questions. Or use the tool for the development of the culture within a work team. 

Educational value/ Learning Objective

MethodKit for Personal Development contains 50 illustrated aspect cards, each with a key aspect or method that helps you define and give structure to your personal development. The cards become catalysts that accelerate decision making and understanding, supporting you when you feel stuck and giving you an overview. We believe the cards make things so much easier!
