The continuous Personal and professional development is crucial to individual in achieving
the desired goals of the life. Personal skills are those skills that are useful in building the
exceptional personality and professional skills are helpful in performing the best in each task
of the desired job (Menz, 2020). There are some short comings in personal skills and
attribute of the person for which personal development plan is utilized to identify the

Short term goals- the short term goals are required to achieved in the near future such as in
a week, month or maximum a year. I personally use short term goals to enhance my
personal skills which also help me during my professional development (Iyai, Syaranamual

 To improve my communication skills
 To read two books each month
 To learn new set of skills in my field
Description and discussion of the value of medium term goals

Medium term goals- The medium term goals need more time to achieve mostly 2-3
years. I set my medium term goals to improve my professional development and to scale up
the bar of success in my professional life.
 To learn multiple languages
 To achieve good ranking in my class.
 To gain experience and build portfolio for my job

more than 3 years. The long term goals put in value to my personal and professional skills
