Your Personal and Professional Development Plan

Your Personal and Professional Development Plan (PPDP) should be a living document. As
you progress through the program, you will document important moments in your
transformational journey and record important insights, accomplishments, and completed
goals. In the final weeks of Leading in a Dynamic Era, you will reflect on your values,
principles, and goals, create an action plan to achieve these goals, and plan for your future as
a leader; these are the goals of your Personal and Professional Development Plan.
At the same time, you should not feel bound by the constraints of only looking forward. As you
discovered in Leading in a Dynamic Era, great benefits can be derived from reflecting on the
past, as well as on the present and the future. Accordingly, you will return to your PPDP
throughout this program, stopping in each course to re-evaluate goals and action plans so that
they accurately reflect your development as a leader and so that you can create realistic
timelines and to set yourself up for success, rather than disappointment. If it takes you more or
less time than you originally predicted in order to accomplish a goal or meet a milestone, that’s
simply a cause for an adjustment. The iterative process of revising, reflecting, and adjusting is
precisely what makes your PPDP a living document.

In each course, there will be new knowledge and new perspectives that you were not aware of
before. You will integrate that into your PPDP. You will address questions such as:

 What is it that I am learning in this course that is helping me to shape what I already
know that I need to know?
 What other managerial and knowledge gaps has this course revealed?
 How has it helped me to create new goals?
 How will I integrate content from this course into the professional aspect of my PPDP?

For this course, you will work on your PPDP in three phases, and submit this document to your
instructor twice, in Week 6 and Week 7. The three phases are described in the online
classroom and in this document. For each of the three submissions, you will complete the
relevant section of the following template and submit the saved document to your instructor. In
Week 6, you will complete “Phase 1” and “Phase 2,” and then submit this document. You will
complete “Phase 3” in Week 7.

entire document, including Phases 1 and 2. In future courses in this program, you will continue
to refine and reflect on your PPDP, making any necessary revisions to encompass goals based
on future courses and material. Please be sure to save this plan so that you can use it in
subsequent courses.

them.
