Personal and Professional Development
In this module, as you already know, you are required to take responsibility for your own personal development. Many professions (including HR, nursing, accounting, professional engineers, chartered managers etc...) require continious personal and professional development, keeping records of it throughout the career.
You are therefore starting out on what could be an ongoing journey of development and reflection

Professional Development
Extract from a CIPD podcast...
Rebecca : For me personally CPD is about having the most relevant knowledge, having the most up to date information and being able to apply that in a way that’s useful, both for me personally and for the job that I'm doing within the organisation. So I think that it isn’t just about me, it’s about what it also gives back at the same time.
So – CPD is for the benefit of the individual and also for the organisation.
Listen to the podcast in your own time....

| What do I want/need to learn and why? | What will I do to achieve this? | What resources or support will I need? | What will my success criteria be?(How will I know when I have achieved my learning objective?) | Target dates for review and completion |
| To enhance my problem solving and decision making ability so I can be more decisive in my job role and assertive | To be more decisive in life and forward with my problems, when a problem arises try to find a solution immediately and don’t let it drag out in a calm and patient fashion. For example, in my job role as a marketer an issue could be due to a lack of detail/information from a business makes it difficult to help it expand as unsure of what it wants. To resolve this rather than panic, use initiative and do background research/contact the business to sort the problem quickly | Books/articles to help find the best solutions to my problem etc. | When a problem arises and I find myself looking for solutions immediately and not just use the first solution that comes available but look at a range firstly. | May 2018 (end of semester) |
| To improve my communication skills so I can exchange and share my ideas correctly and confidently in team work I may have to undertake | To put my ideas forward more and not be afraid of rejection or being wrong as is the only way in order to progress. For example in my job we have to put together campaigns, advertisement videos for businesses and so I will always put my thoughts forward no wonder how good or bad they seem as could potentially lead to further ideas etc. | Verbal Feedback from colleagues/workers to say if I am improving in communicating my ideas etc. | When group work comes about and I find myself putting my ideas out there without hesitation or worry. | May 2018 (end of semester) |
Record the outcomes
Keeping records of what you have done.
Most importantly your records will help you to focus on what you have got out of your development activity.

A I decided to use to create an Excel spreadsheet for two reasons. In the sort term is enabled me to keep track of and then chase outstanding subscription payments. It would also be easy to pass on to the next Treasurer and would be a useful tool for comparing membership trends.
R Purely as a result of this tracking, membership income rose by 10%.
This example is good because it gives a clear outcome & achievement – it’s not just mentioning what your responsibilities were.
