Personal Development Portfolio: Your Action Plan - Paper Example

For this PDP assignment, you should create action plans that you will utilise to achieve the personal and professional goals you have set for yourself in this module. You can type your goals, objectives, milestones and steps directly into the white boxes below. If you need help thinking about the different components of your action plan, please refer to the example action plan in the weeks learning resources. Also, note that this table is intended as a guide but is flexible in order to best meet your needs. If, for example, you need to meet three milestones to accomplish an objective rather than two, feel free to add an extra row to the table. Similarly, you may need only two objectives for a particular goal rather than three. Add and delete rows as necessary until this action plan is customised to your particular goals.
