In this 145th masterclass session, counseling psychologist Gauri Kaushik delivers an engaging, comprehensive, and highly structured masterclass on Personality Development. Moderated by PCF Director Mr. Raj Alampur, the session challenges common superficial misconceptions—such as equating personality development with mere outward looks, clothing, or fluent English—and reframes it as a dynamic, lifelong journey of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and cognitive growth.The masterclass breaks down the core components of personality (cognitive, emotional, behavioral, social, values/beliefs, and self-concept), analyzes the biological, familial, social, and experiential factors that shape it, and debunks major myths (such as introverts having inferior personalities or fixed traits). Finally, it introduces practical psychological frameworks like the Johari Window, self-assessment dimensions, and an actionable personal growth plan.
