WHAT IS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT? Personal development is the method of self-improvement. It has no timescales, it is ongoing. You can continue to progress, grow and learn new things your whole life. When was the last time you learnt something new? Why not make 2020 the year for growth?
The 70:20:10 model So, how do you grow? By generating the right formula for success. At the Bravo Group, we have adopted the 70:20:10 model. What does this mean?
70% 20% 10%
of what we learn is f rom experience. of what we learn is f rom others and peers. of what we learn is f rom formal training.
We have applied the 70:20:10 model to each piece of learning that we offer to help you maximise your potential. We have worked closely with teams across the business to ensure our training is relevant to you. Whatever your learning style is, we have something for you.
“An investment in your personal development is the greatest investment you can make.� - Jim Rohn, Motivational Speaker

SETTING THE BENCHM
“Having someone in your corner [who]… is prepa to give you that guidance to get there can have a impact on your career.” - Claudine Adeyemi, Lawyer
Introducing our new mentoring bench... Mentoring is a fantastic way to boost your career, whether you are the mentee or mentor. If you are being coached, it gives you a sounding board, puts someone in your corner to cheer you on and shake those invisible pom-poms as you move forward. If you are mentoring someone else, the opportunity to grow is also there and seeing a colleague flourish under your wing can be hugely rewarding. Plus, you never know what you might learn yourself.
I would like to be mentored... If you’d like to be mentored by someone within the Group, this can benef it you hugely by allowing you to build your internal network, understand your skills and become more self-aware. It can also help you to navigate your career and reach further heights. During the programme, we’ll explore your personality prof ile using the PPA Thomas International assessment, which provides insight into how you operate at work, so we can f ind the right mentor for you and set you on your journey. Along the route, there will be networking opportunities with senior leaders across the business and structured events to make sure you and your mentor are moving forward on the same page.
To get involved... If you would like to join the bench as either a mentor or mentee, please get in touch with the team by emailing learningnetwork@bravo-group.co.uk with ‘mentoring’ in the subject line.
