INTRODUCTION
The personal development is the life long process where people access their qualities and
skills so that they can set their aims and goals in order to maximise and realise their potential. On
the other hand professional development is the process of improving and developing the skills in
order to perform the job role effectively (Davies, Curtin and Robson, 2017). This report shall
cover the concept of personal and professional development, short, medium and long term goals
and affect and evaluation of author, purpose, reliability and relevance.
TASK 1
The concept of personal and professional development.
Personal development is the process of individual learning where a person learns to meet
the challenges and the desired goals. The professional development on the other hand is the
process in which the organisation and the individual engages in the learning of new skills and
knowledge so that it can achieve the desired goals (BEYGI and GHOLIPOUR, 2016). This
development helps both individual and the company to development their competencies, skills
and behaviour.
The value of short term goals identifying at least 3 personal examples.
These goals are those which are made for the near future and are to be accomplished very
soon by the individual (Lim, 2018). The common time for achieving these goals are less than 12
months. Examples of short term goals are-
 Communication Skills
 Interpersonal Skills
 Active Listening Skills
The value of medium term goals identifying at least 3 personal examples.
These goals are made for a period of more than 12 months but less than 3 years where an
individual takes a bit long time for achieving it (Ashurst, 2017). These take more time than short
term goals. Examples of medium term goals are-
 Decision Making Skills
 Problem Solving Skills
 Technology Savvy Skills
