TASK 3
Construct a portfolio of evidence to show the new skills and competencies you have
developed, then reflect upon/ compare against the actual developments for which you
had planned. Identify and/or explain the reasons for any difference between your actual
experience and the plan.
Personal development plan is a type off plan which a person constructs for improving the skills
and the capabilities by forming certain level of the goals and the objectives. The personal
development plan of the individual also based on the factors by which the performance of the
individual is increase. The deliberated skills in respect of the personal development plan under
the criteria of the interpersonal and communication skills include problem solving,
communication, and time management. Significant role play by the communication because of
the interactive responsibilities in the practical life. Different level of the life needs different
communication style by the individual. The goals are achieve by the person in very productive
way when the person have the time management skills.
The person when make a personal development plan on the basis of some goals than the target
which a person want to achieve is based in the division of the goals into the long and short term
targets. There are different methods for achieving the targets of the life. The development is
carry out by different method. Every person select the time for achieving the short term and long
term objectives of the life according to capability and the abilities to achieve the targets. time is
one of the most important factors in respect of the personal development because the negative
and the positive aspect of the activity could only be identify when activity is conducted by the

individual under selected time period. The two years is selected by me for achiving my short
term targets while 5 years is selected for achieving my long term goals. SWOT analysis is one
of the important and most used tools for assessing the needs of the personal development. As
there are different tools for making the improvement by having a personal development plan
and all the tools of development have certain level of the advantages and certain level of the
disadvantages. When the analysis on the personality is carries out than the main objective is to
identify the weaknesses and the strengths because the plan should be develop according to the
needs. Feedback is consider as one of the important aspects regarding the development of the
personal skills because it is the fact that a person could not identify the weakness more
attractively when he assess his own personality but when the personality is assess by other
people than the weakness could be define in more attractive way so this is the reason that I
focus on the feedback for making improvement. There are different people who can help in
identification of tee weakness and the strengths through feedback system. Feedback system
enable the person to evaluate that what are those areas on which the more focus is needed and
what are those areas in respect of which the person is doing good. In the context of the
company the employee can take the feedback from the line manager and other senior staff in
the company for making some improvements in the personal life. It is very important to note
than the personal development plan should be based on the current and the future development
aspects because the future professional life is also very important to be carry out in professional
and ethical way. I am focusing in the fact that I want to add some extra skills in the Curriculum
vitae which I will develop for my future career. All the actions plan which is consider are
organized and manage in the form of selling item for all the actions which I need to take on
priority basis.
It was observed by me that the interpersonal and the communication skills, the working in
pressure situation and conduction of multiple task sat same time were some of the weak areas
in my personality so this is the reason that I included most off the aspects in the personal
development plan by which the I could improve all these weaknesses into the strengths. It si my
goals that I will improve my interposal and communication skills to the acceptable level. I realize
that I need to work with higher level of commitment and I need to learn theoretical concepts
regarding the communication and interpersonal skills. In the context of the managerial skills
there is some of the weakness but I manage it higher level of attention on the writing down all
the tasks in order to assess my performance on respect of achievement of goals and objectives
of the personal development plan.

The assessment of the performance in the context of the personal development plan is one of
the important step which I focus to e consider because it is very important for me to assess my
performance with the help of the feedback form professional who have more understating of the
personal development c9onetxt. I am not satisfied from the communication and interpersonal
skills but I am sure that if I work with higher level of commitment than I will achieve the targets
and enhance my communication skills. This is one of the important objectives of my personal
development plan because with the attractive and affective communication I can attract the
people. Along with the communication skills I also focus on the improvement of the writing skills
because it is very important that all the content which I write should be easy to understand by
other people.
Time management skills
The skills by which a person can understating the value and the importance of the completion of
the activities on time. Time is one of the important aspects in modern time because the clients
always want that their tasks will be completed by the company on time. In the context off the
personal development I used different methods for managing the activities in respect of the
time. For improving the time management capabilities i focus to reduce e the spending of time
on those activities by which I could it complete the tasks on time. Usage of Facebook is one of
the important are watch I want to reduce in order to complete the tasks on time. The
understating of the exact time which is require for any particular activity was identify by me in
the context of dividing the tasks into segments and another way by which I try to improve eth
time management skills is based in the arranging the allocated tasks ion priority basis.
Conclusion
It can be conclude that in respect of the professional development and personal development
the self-learning is one of the most important areas of consideration. The competencies and
skills could be developing by creating and developing a proper development plan. SWOT
analysis is the first important step in the personal development because by this model the
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats could be identifies and manages. The
improvement should be carry out in the context of the personal development plan on regular
basis. The needs should the basic aspect when the personal development plan is created.
