We may facilitate personalizing problems by the use of the HRD profile illustrated in Table 1 and elaborated in Table 2, Appendix B. As may be viewed, we may assess levels of functioning on our physical, emotional and intellectual resources. We employ a scaling procedure for assessing levels of functioning: leader, contributor, participant, observer, detractor. We also break down the resource components: physical fitness; emotional, motivation and relating; intellectual, information relating, representing and processing. As can be seen, this HRD model enables us to discriminate the current and desired levels of functioning on each of these resource components.
PERSONALIZING HRD PROBLEMS
Utilizing the HRD model, we may respond to personalize physical problems at various levels:
“You feel down because you don’t have the energy to get through each day.”
“You feel disappointed because you cannot mobilize enough intensity to complete your work.”
“You feel sad because you just don’t have the stamina to stay the course.”
PERSONALIZING PHYSICAL PROBLEMS
In a similar manner, we may personalize emotional problems at various levels:
“You feel crushed because you can’t get motivated to achieve at high levels.”
“You feel desperate because you have not been able to actualize yourself.”
“You feel devastated because you can’t relate to the experiences of others.”
PERSONALIZING EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS
Likewise, we may use HRD models to personalize intellectual problems at various levels:
“You feel distressed because you can’t get the gist of the information.”
“You feel disturbed because you don’t know how to represent the information.”
“You feel hopeless because you can’t think about the information productively.”
