Course Overview

What is Personal Leadership? Personal leadership is the ability to take responsibility for all facets of your life and leading it in the direction that is best for you. In other words, personal leadership can be used to develop and improve your well-being since it makes you organised, accountable and live your life the way you choose to.

How do you develop a Personal Leadership Style? While personal leadership develops from the inside out, its effects and outcomes are felt not only by you and your family but also by others in your community and workplace. For example, Abraham Lincoln started his political career using his incredible communication skills, including his wit and intelligence, to criticize his political opponents so much so that he even reduced one politician to tears in a debate.

While effective and successful, Lincoln became uncomfortable with the tone of his campaigning. Over time, he learned and practised using his personal leadership skills, including self-discipline, to channel his language mastery for the good of the American people. This empowered him to be an effective leader (to say the least) and one of the best communicators America has ever seen.
