The next stage in the
process is to make some
plans which state how
you intend to make the
improvements you have
identified during the
reflection stage. You
may wish to develop
planning documentation
to help this part of the
porcess along. Use this
documentation to make a
concise statement which
sets out your strategies
for personal
development.
Setting SMART Objectives
When you plan for your
future development, you
should try where
possible to set yourself
SMART
objectives.
SPECIFIC: can
you say exactly what
you intend to do?
MEASURABLE:
will you be able to
prove (to yourself,
or others) that you
have achieved your
targets?
ACHIEVABLE:
are your targets
achievable in the
time that you have
set yourself?
REALISTIC:
are your targets
things you can
realistically do
something about?
TIME BOUND:
can you achieve
these targets within
a reasonable time
frame?
