Ten Areas of Personal Development

The Ten Areas of Personal Development framework was originated in 2021 when Taleaya began working as a Clinical Addiction Counselor. Through working with patients in different modalities (individual and group counseling), Taleaya noticed that all of her patients encountered obstacles in each of these areas. And although these areas overlapped, they required separate attention. Patients challenged themselves to improve in these areas to maintain sobriety, and Taleaya used that information to help them build a strategy around that mindset.

 

To date, Taleaya continues to believe that personal development is not something that should only be explored clinically. Personal development is is the lens we use to manage our lives, and clarity is something we all should have access to. Learning for Miles creates tools for the ten areas in ways that feel approachable rather than clinical, academic, or intimidating for the everyday adult.
