 Personal Development
Plan (PDP)

The point of making a personal development plan is to archive a

procedure of self-investigation/ self-analysis, individual reflection
and fair evaluation of my strengths and weaknesses. This ought to
empower me to assess the value of the leadership and
management training I have taken, and to think about my future
leadership improvement.
Strengths
• Having the opportunity to lead a team I
demonstrated that I have the ability to
provide clear direction and manage people to
achieve specific tasks whilst under pressure.
• Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop/ Adobe
InDesign
• Content writing
• Knowledge in social media and the usage of
social media
• Managing some of the pages of a restaurant
and a marketing firm, completely committed
to the success of those pages.
• Proficiency in making white board animation
videos through different softwares.
Threats
• Due to this pandemic, I'm often overworked
as I am having more projects/assignments
from university as well as from the owners of
pages with whom I am working, and this
negatively impacts my creativity.
• The current economic climate has resulted in
slow growth for the marketing industry.
Many firms have laid off staff members, and
our company is also considering further
cutbacks.
Areas that need development
• Difficulty in maintaining the work/life balance as I
am also doing freelancing and working with a
marketing firm.
• I have a strong, habitual need to do things rapidly
and exclude them from my "to-do" list, and
sometimes the nature/quality of my work suffers
at the end.
• Sometimes I’ve a fear of speaking publically which
often takes the passion out of my presentations.
• Difficulty in maintaining physical fitness standards
during academic studies.
• Moreover, to build my confidence in command, I
need more experience of team management in
different scenarios
Opportunities
• I will be attending a major job/education seminar
in few days. This will allow for strategic
networking, and also offer some great training
seminars.
• Head of the Marketing firm (DEAN Marketing) is
planning to make me a manager of the firm,
covering his duties while he's busy in other
projects would be a great career development
opportunity for me.

Short Term Goals (next 6 months)

  My first short term goal is to get a management/HR job in multinational
company within 6 months. The reason is that this job would give me more
experiences in the managing my own business which I am planning to start.
 My second short-term goal is to make a professional website for my own
clothing business within 6 months. I want to start a website very soon
because that would be first step of opening my new business and I want to
start the process as soon as possible.

Medium Term Goals (2-3 years)

 My first medium-term goal is to get promoted from junior level to senior

supervisor within 2 to 3 years. The reason I need to do that will be that would
give me more experiences in controlling a greater piece of a business and in
settling on more significant level regulatory decisions which would help me
later on with my own business.
 My second medium-term goal is to hire staff (tailors, delivery person etc.), and
complete all the formalities to open a clothing brand within two to three
years. The reason this is my mid-term goal and not a short term goal is that I
want to gain more knowledge and information about opening a clothing brand
and also more experiences in marketing and managing so I can apply my
skills and knowledge to my own business.

Long Term Goals (beyond 3 years)

 My first long term goal is to have a consistent source of pay from my own
business to quit my full-time position within four to five years. The reason I
need to do that is because I need to concentrate on my business to expand
the profitability once I begin getting a consistent pay from my business.
 My second long-term professional goal is to take customize orders to get the
dresses stitched and to deliver the dresses abroad, to different locations
within four to five years. The reason I would like to do that is that’s the only
way I can expand my own business and make it profitable by reaching more
customers in a different location.
