Conventionally, personal or professional development is a formal means by which an individual (normally working with a teacher, mentor or supervisor) sets out goals, strategies and outcomes of learning and training aimed at helping the individual to make the best out of his/her career/profession.

This is usually achieved through on-the-job learning, courses and workshops, online-based learning etc.

However, there is an upcoming TV Talk Show dubbed The John Appiah Show which will seek to inspire and positively influence individuals, students, working professionals and entrepreneurs to actively pursue personal and professional development. 

The John Appiah Show premieres on March 6, 2020, on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
