Short term goals- the short term goals are required to achieved in the near future such

short term goals to enhance my personal skills which also help me during my professional
development. The few short term goals I want achieve are:
 To enhance my vocabulary skills
 To read two books each month
 To learn new set of skills in my field
Medium term goals- The medium term goals require more time to achieve mostly 2-3
years (Nordengren, 2020). I set my medium term goals to improve my professional development
and to climb the ladder of success in my professional life.
