Sleeve Notes
Last year I blogged about how to write Personal Development Plans (PDP's) which are worth something to you, otherwise what is the point of doing them?!.
You can remind yourself of this HERE
Taking this a stage further, here is an example of a robust PDP.
Just in case you were wondering, it is a real PDP containing goals which are IMPORTANT to the person (me!) and will EXCITE, ENERGISE, MOTIVATE & CHALLENGE me to ACHIEVE & SUCCEED.
Points to note
In this example, I have chosen two goals around well-being and one around professional development. All are in service of one another.
I would suggest no more than 3 goals at any one time. Even just one, if this works better for you at this time.
I have added review dates rather than an end date for the time being, as it's more important for me to see the small successes at particular times of the year, rather than the big win.
Hope you find it useful while crafting your own.
