Lately, I've been receiving a number calls asking about the end and begining of professional development? Mainly the questions came from women who intend to attend upcoming experience of Journey to Ireland.

Each of these wrote or rang to me asking for sureity that spending time on identitying development is justified as the professional development.

We tend to mistake personal development as becoming selfish and take professional development as to become helpful.

It's better if weunderstand that this is not the truth.

All professional talent development is personal - especially in the case of women's talent development.

We must understand that women are naturally relational. Women tend to care about other a lot. They have powerful and positive attributes that make them good mothers, leaders, caretakers, community members, team builders etc.

The above mentioned are key attributes to allow one to better employ them in professional life.

However, these concerns are rarely addressed in professional development.

It's been proved that Mckinsey to Tricia Naddaff, from Sally Helgesen and Marta Williams to Herminia Ibarra-the development needs of women are fundamentally different from men's in general.

According to a report in the year 2008 the total representation of women in corporate world and top earners stagnated.

Despite our successes, often we are insecure, confidence level gets low in our skills, and do not believe in any of the powerful influences.

Women's leadership development of talent is personal development by nature, identity development.

Women have been noticed as better mentors, leaders, coaches, and contributors. Once they gain confidence they respond to their level best. It is important for each of the member of the organization to understand the role of a woman involved in the leadership and to appreciate the talent and not to compare from any other man just for the sake of comparing.
