Introduction
Personal development plan refers to the process of designing and creating an
action plan based on the values, and awareness of self-appraisal based on the
assessment tools. The identification of the needs of improvement and the
opportunities to develop are formulated into the plan to yield effective results. The
action plan thus drafted is directed towards achieving success professionally. The
reviewing and continual development through assessment derived by self-
introspection and by peer review empowers individuals like me. In this assessment, I
would be evaluating my skills and competencies from my own perspective and from
others through journal entries, to visualise the strengths and weaknesses in my
character and subsequently develop an action plan in order to improve them
effectively. The four key skills selected for the reflective study includes,
“Negotiation, Time-management, Public speaking and Resilience”.
