Personal Development Plan:

After completing $8$ self$-$assessments and your personal reflective journals it is now time to create your personal development plan. Use your previous journal entries to create a $2-3-$page personal development plan. The final assignment should be written in APA style but you may include a table for actions as you see fit. Here are the areas to cover:

Strengths: In the self$-$assessments$--$which competencies were evaluated as strengths? Is this an important competency you need to model for others? Is it an area you want to improve in order to gain recognition and support? If you were to focus on this strength and improve it$,$ would it enhance your current or future success and influence?

Liabilities or weaknesses: Based on the reflective journals and self$-$assessments, what competencies were rated lowest? Are there problem areas where improvement is needed? Would working on these problem areas improve your current or future job performance? What is the biggest roadblock to your career success based on your assessments? What can happen if you don't take action on your weaknesses? What are the areas you need to focus on to improve your ability to manage change, work with others, and influence others? Do you really want to improve? Do you really believe that you need to improve these areas? Are you motivated to change?

Gaps: What areas do you need to work on over the next $6-12$ months? What could help you in your personal and professional life? Once identified create a personal development action plan for $2-3$ competencies or behaviors that you would like to work on over the next year.

$30-60-90$ Day Action Plan...Change takes time. Be realistic with yourself. What will you try to accomplish in the next $30$ days? $60$ days? $90$ days? At the end of this year what do you hope that you accomplished?
