Sometimes we work and work and practice our writing and have no idea if we’re actually making progress. Here’s a way to get great and detailed feedback.
4.Ted
Ted.com, also known for Ted X and Ted Talks, is a great site for getting motivated and interested about science and technology, but also discusses topics relating to self-development and improvement. Browse the site to find topics to research further on your own, watch videos and talks on things like Creativity, Leadership, life in general, and more.

6.Volunteer Ministers
Though the Volunteer Ministers site is Scientology based (which is a turnoff based on its associations and attempt to get people interested in Scientology), it has a lot of good info and course offerings. You can improve in work-related areas, manage stress, depression, work on relationships, improve communication, and more. It is similar to Mind Tools, except that it is based on Scientology which is not for everyone. If we can put aside the controversies surrounding Scientology, or are curious what the followers are putting out there, this is an interesting site.
The various sites on the net can be the perfect tool for certain people. There’s something for everyone who is looking to develop and grow in many areas of their lives. Personal development, though, has to start on the inside where a desire for change can manifest as action.
