Personal Development Plan

As the saying goes "fail to plan, plan to fail" after I left University I had to figure out my next step, now the good thing about Uni is they encouraged you to think about your next step and what you are going to do after Uni. They help you prep and achieve the next step, however they never give you the tools that you need to keep the momentum going on your development after University.

I got in a position where after Uni I was in a bit of a limbo in terms of development, I knew I had to develop but didn't know how to approach it and had no guide to keep me in check. Not until a very good close friend asked me "what's your PDP?" 

I couldn't answer her and she explained to me that a PDP is a personal development plan, a very important tool one has to have.

It is usually a 3-5 year plan on how you will develop. It helps you go into detail what, how, when and where you will develop and it's something most people overlook.
From my personal experience having a detailed plan of development objectives and how you will achieve them keeps you in check as I have found over the years it's very easy to loose focus. I still use it to this very day and it's something I intend on using for a very long time.

So that said, I have created this template to help you plan your own personal development. If it helps you please do email me and let me know.

Until the next one
