Section 1

Personal Development Plan

The Jungian Typology is a model developed by a Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, and is used in the establishment of an individual’s personality and behavior. According to the self-assessment done using the Jungian Typology, I found out I am 9% extravert. An extravert is a social, outgoing and extremely expressive individual. I scored 9% when it came to sensing, which means, to some extent, I believe information that comes from outside sources. In addition, I scored 34% when it came to feeling, and 28% when it came to judging. Feeling implies an individual that makes their decision based on their emotions, while judging implies an individual that organizes all their events and sticks to their plans.

From the Jungian Typology test, my personality type is what Carl Gustav Jung referred to as ESFJ, which stand for extraverted sensing feeling judging (Karian 2016). ESFJ are givers, and enjoy traditions. Individuals exhibiting the ESFJ personality type are also leaders in their own capacity, and at the same time are servants to others. Individuals with this type of personality also express their emotions freely, and do not hide anything, especially when offended or hurt. Most ESFJs are caretakers, and they are very hyper-vigilant characters.

The chief aim of creating this plan is to enhance my efficiency at work. Currently, according to the Jungian Typology, I am very good when it comes to productivity. The secret though is to become even better. My locus of control, according to the Jungian Typology, is internally strong, and I am currently not experiencing any burnout or stress. I hope to gain a better understanding of myself, so that I can build on my strengths, and work on a remedy for my weaknesses. An area where I would like to grow is in time management, since time is very valuable in my career.

My vision is to create a plan that will not only help me further understand myself, but also help me grow, through better management of my daily activities. The personal development plan will give me clarity when it comes to tasks that I need to do in order to achieve my life goals. Prioritizing is an intricate part of success in any field. The personal development plan will also avail more motivation to me especially when undertaking tasks that are not enjoyable, but are necessary in achieving the end goal. Furthermore, a personal development plan will enhance my resilience when faced with challenges on my journey to success.

Section 2: Insert your work from Milestone Two: SWOT Analysis. Revise the chart and reflection based on feedback and reflection

Strengths · I have excellent communication skills and relate well with my customers. · I have 3 years’ experience and enhanced skills as a massage therapist. · I have good money management skills. · I have good leadership skills.	Weaknesses · I have noticed I have some problem when it comes to time management. · I am sometimes impatient with my customers, and struggle not to show it. · I have been putting aside the idea of getting additional help, and I am obsessed with micro managing. · I need better organization especially when it comes to keeping records and receipts.
Opportunities · There is a large enough market that I can tap into by expanding my business. · I need to purchase the latest in massage therapy equipment, for example, portable massage table. · There has been an increased number of younger customers, I need to establish a social media presence, for example, a Facebook page. · Start a home based service, since there is a high demand for personal massage therapy in people’s homes.	Threats · Competitors are offering the same services at a similar price. · I have been postponing appointments with customers due to increased demand and lack of immediate time to cater for them. · The current location of my massage office is small, and will not be enough for my end goal, which is employing at least 4 therapists, and having 4 therapy rooms, and an exclusive VIP lounge. · Competitors are offering drinks and beverages at their establishments, a move that might steal some of my clients if I do not adapt fast enough.

The most interesting part of the SWOT analysis is the self-awareness it provides. One is able to clearly identify their weakness and strength, through a simple process of self-reflection. The SWOT analysis also prompts one to be honest with themselves, and this is a rather satisfying process, at the end of it all. The opportunities one is able to identify provide a means of realization of an individual’s life goals.
