different cultures and managed to develop their skills by enhancing the way in which they are
putting themselves in a professional way. There are flaws in everybody but knowing own
weaknesses and working upon them is a very good idea. I have great opportunities within
market. I’m able to achieve my desired goals and objectives by protecting myself from getting
worse. I have always worked upon my weaknesses and encourage myself to Overcome my
weaknesses and work in an effective way to protect the ability for attaining organisational goals
(Nyamubi, 2020). There are different perspectives for managing the personal and professional
development which includes the process of coaching. There is need of having an effective

front of the business recruiters who will be coming next week. According to me, the perspective
of managing own personal and professional development is very important for establishing a
good career (Ryckman and et.al, 2016). There are different benefits which I have experienced by
using coaching as my tool. Some of these are mentioned below:
 Multitasking: this has helped me to manage though ability to do multiple tasks and
activities at the same time. I have always evaluated that in a workplace, I have to do
multiple workplace tasks which will include calling on phone, email, managing customer
satisfaction, developing into relationship with colleagues and many more. For completing
all these tasks in time, there is need for me to complete the tasks in right time. Next lane
professional development: the personal development will provide a bottom line for doing
the work at a higher rate. All managers have to work in an effective manner so that they
can attract more consumers by providing high quality services. It is the ability of me to
manage the employees who are involved in working off company and managing stress.
There is also need for working in a sector where there is no stress.
 Leadership: I think this is the most important approach which can be used by people to
complete their work in a proper manner. Leadership is required for adopting different

activities in practical work and complete them properly. There is combination of belief
that values and references are to be worked in proper manner for developing culture and
norms. These are helpful for encouraging some styles which will develop the tendency to
attain goals and organisations.

skills to manage the social and professional life. I think a person has to be present table in
order to complete different tasks in proper manner. there is also need to focus upon
communication skills as well as confidence and capability for presenting a good project.

The learning and career development methods are continuous processes. While working in a
workplace, there is need to develop and enhance career opportunities every time. Some of the
ways by which a person can enhance the personal and professional target is to implement the
ways which will overcome weakness is (Ryckman and et.al, 2017). There are some procedures in
which I lacked the ability to manage my team effectively. I think doubting on staff decision-
making method is a challenge. There is need to achieve a holistic understanding while walking
within the workplace will stop there is also need for managing the ability to work in a proper
manner. There is need for managing resistance in order to know that someone is out of feel and
walking with you. That is why as a millennial, there is always need for focusing upon personal
professional development that will increase the opportunity for working in a proper area. There
are few challenges which I have faced while working upon my ppd. Some of these are mentioned
below:
Uncertainty from promotion: this includes that there are different people who have been
promoted to higher position but it provides a sense of discouragement among the ones who are
not promoted (Urban and Harvey, 2021). That is why while working in a workplace it is a great
challenge to be productive and an effective leader. There is need for managing the career
development challenges and focusing upon orientation management coaching.
Communication: there are different people whom I have to work with every day. That is why
there is need to increase the number of participants who are talking to me daily as it will help me
to enhance my communication abilities. I have walked up on choosing different online
presentations and worked upon them for increasing the understanding of project.

Difficulty in coaching: there is need to provide focus upon managing the person ability for
understanding the actual problem. More importantly, there is need to effectively promote an
individual for improving the communication skills as well as leadership skills.

management as it will help in achieving personal as well as professional goals. There is
requirement of attaining efficient goals in order to enhance the way and functioning for attaining
goals.
SWOT analysis
 Strength - I have a few important assets that will aid me in my goal of becoming an HR
manager in the future. I'm concentrating on increasing my overall strength. Also I am
very strong at communicating with others, and because leadership skills assist me in
generating effective conversions when recruiting individuals for a firm, this talent will
assist me in creating effective conversions. Then there's the fact that I'm a natural
decision-maker. As a result of this ability, I will be able to make better judgments when it
comes to hiring staff and prospects in the sector. Another of my strengths that will help
me in my HR career is confidence, having strong soft skills, and acting well with others.
 Weakness - Then I have a lot of strengths, but I also have a lot of weaknesses, such as not
being good at managing my time, which means that when I have a lot of tasks to do at the
same time, I can't manage my time well, which causes me to feel stressed. As a result, I
have to work slowly and am unable to complete my task within the deadline. So, this is
something I'll have to improve on. Another flaw I've seen is that I'm deficient in my
anger, as I may quickly become unpleasant, which leads to interpersonal issues.
 Threat – Then there are certain risks that I could face in this line of work. As a result, a
large number of competitors are now attempting to become an HR manager for any
organization. As a result, his preparation for this post may pose a threat to me. Another
hazard is that when it comes to picking individuals, I have to deal with too many
obstacles and concerns in this field. As a result, if I am unable to make sound judgments,
I will become a threat to myself. If I do not have control over my anger, this might
become a threat to me.
 Opportunity - I may take advantage of a variety of chances that will assist me in
developing my strength. I believe that if I do my job on time, I will be able to meet my

goals and objectives. When I have various jobs to do, I may develop certain innovations
in the firm that will help me advance in the organization and form excellent relationships
with individuals.
 Another advantage I may acquire if I focus on my behaviours is the ability to control my
anger and achieve more successful results when it comes to interacting politely with
others. If I can encourage staff, I'll have a better chance of forming positive relationships
with them.
Continuous professional personal development CPPD

broadening the aspect of professional and personal competence within environment. A CPD
programme has to be involved in different universities for encouraging students to know their

within interpersonal skills and these have to be achieved properly. There is need of managing
ongoing process for the improvement within company which will help in becoming less

development plan. It has helped me to become a more qualified person. CPPD is a helpful
technique which will allow me to map my progress as well as refocus on the learning aims and

different valuable tools used for enhancing own ability and strength to attain goals. This personal
