INTRODUCTION
Personal and professional development is an essential planning that is needed to be
done by the individual. It helps the individual in gaining knowledge about the skills
that are required to be obtained by them (Díaz Gómez, 2020). Personal
development plan helps the individual in setting goals and aims and make sure that
the individual is moving towards those goals and objectives. In this report, personal
development plan as well as personal goals are given.
Task One:
Definition of the concept of personal and professional development
The concept of professional and personal development is emerged in order to
enable the individual in making sure that they are developing necessary skills which
can help them in the near future or help them in moving towards the goals and
objectives of the individual (Enderby and et. al., , 2021). It will help the individual in
developing a correct skill set which are essential for their success and will also help
them in dealing with the challenges.
Description and discussion of the value of short term goals
identifying at least 3 personal examples
Short term goals are the one that are needed to be fulfilled within the time
stamp of maximum six month. They are goals that serves as small stepping stones
in the career path of the individual towards the long term goals. Short term goals will
help the individual in developing skills that are basic and does not require heavy
planning (Fallast and Vorbach, 2019). According to me, my short term goals are
essential for my overall development which is the reason why I like to keep them
simple and make sure that my motivation is appropriate throughout the process. My
three short term goals are as follows:
the first skill i want to develop is my communication skills.
The second skill which I want to develop is to improve my work life balance
the third skill that I want to improve is my reading skills.
