Personal development plan
Areas of development Time duration current situation Actions to achieve How will I know I
have been successful?
Time management skills approximately one month As per present scenario I am
very weak in managing time
and because of this I get
delayed in my coaching
sessions.
In order to improve my time
management skills, I will create
a schedule for my daily
activities and try to complete
them on time.
I will identify that I’ve
finished my time
management skills
when I will score 5 in
my coaching self-
assessment tool by
taking feedbacks from
my team members. I
would also measure the
success by identifying
that I’m coming on
time during my
coaching sessions.

Personal development plan
Communication skills In order to improve this
ability I require a time
period of 3 months.
In the present situation I
lack interaction with my
team mates.
In order to improve this
ability I need to increase
my conversation with my
team members along with
taking continuous
feedback from them.
I will analyse my success
through evaluating how
efficient I have become in
having conversation with
my subordinates.
