1. !ntroduction

$he 9uality of your thinking determines what you do7 what you feel and what you want7 you are

what you think. If your thoughts are not realistic7 it will lead to disappointments.

Personal and Professional Development is #een one of the most important concept for the long

term development in the career. It can #e said that it is the #asic way to set up the aim in life. It is

the duty of any individual to find out what are the skills they are lacking of and work on it for the

long term development of their life. It is #elieved that the education is the main or the initial step

in anyone5s life if they want to gain knowledge and skill. Professional life is the place where the

individual can put those knowledge and skill in to play. Professional life on the other hand also

helps an individual to enhance their existing knowledge and skill. &efore an individual leave the

academic sector7 he has to develop a personal and a professional development plan.

A personal development plan is really helpful for any students or to any professionals those who

want to achieve #etter results in their respective fields. It keeps alerting an individual the skills

that he is lacking of and guides him in the right path towards the success.

$his report #asically touches on the personal development plan that shows the current skills and

knowledge which includes all my strengths and weaknesses. Development is not short term7 it5s a

lifelong of shaping and improving skills of an individual7 nurturing7 and interest which will

ensure my maximum effectiveness. $he personal development plan which I have prepared is a

opportunity for myself to know myself #etter. And also its identifia#le where I want to #e in my

life in the short term as well as in the long term. And it guides me on which areas I need to

improve in.

It is important to apply the %MA

'evelo(ment

1. Self%&anagement Learning and )ow to 'evelo( t$ose Skills

1.1.1 Self%&anagement

%elf8management is a key which will help an individual throughout their life. It definitely

involves managing time and setting goals. &y having effective self8management the individual

can avoid stress and make him involve in more activities and make him productive. A key skill in

self8management is so called the self8regulation. %elf8regulation refers to individuals controlling7

monitoring and directing characteristics of their learning for themselves.

Accordingly7 I as an individual need to identify and understand what are the self8management

skills that I need to have in order to #e successful in my personal and professional development

career. $he #elow mentioned skills are the skills that I5m focusing on and have mentioned ways

on how I can develop it.

1.1 Time &anagement Skill

$ime management is one of the most important skills that an individual needs to have. $ime

management skills allow people to organi6e their work and personal life efficiently. It will #e

helpful in whatever the career that an individual choose to lead his/her life in. veryone differs

from one anotherJ therefore they have their own daily routine with different time clocks. A

person who manages time well will finish tasks ahead of deadlines7 without last8minute

scram#ling or sacrificing work 9uality. $he maor disadvantage of having poor time management

is the effects it has on stress levels. It leads to the dissatisfaction of not having worked hard and

wasted time. A person who poorly manages time cannot manage things in an efficient manner

and also the poor time management leads to imperfection.

)ow to 'evelo( t$e Time &anagement Skill

*rioriti+e8-e will have a lot of things to #e done7 so divide the tasked into different

groups like how important and urgent is the task which is to #e completed7 therefore do

&M/01/21 Page 3


8/27


the task which has the higher priority and compete it first and move to the next task

instead wasting time.

,e s(ecific8 It5s important to make the task specific as much as possi#le7 we tend to

follow through then7 especially if we write it down. 'or example7 instead of saying that

you will complete = tasks this week7 say I will complete = tasks on $hursday #y C P.M. Small bite%si+e (ieces8 we will feel overwhelmed so easily7 therefore #reaking down the

main tasks into su#8tasks will make it easier to complete the task effectively and

efficiently on time.

#ses all available time% make use of all the availa#le time instead wasting them will help

to complete a task soon. 'or example7 if u are to complete an assignment7 and supposed

to su#mit it in = days7 #ut you have classes to attend every day and it takes you two hours

to travel up and down7 plan it out7 make use of that time7 use the latest technology7 that is

the smart phones and #rowse on the internet for information which you will need to

answer a 9uestion or two in the assignment and get an idea. And complete the task as

soon as you reach home as you already have the information which is needed for that

9uestion.

Structure t$e environment8 having a good place to do work without many distractions

also will #e a key reason where we can complete our tasks without wasting time.

Establis$ a routine8 -e are creatures of ha#its. If we study at a certain time or day then

it will #e easier to get into concentration mode. And also7 it is #etter to study #riefly and

regularly.

1.1.- *resentation Skill

$his is the skill which refers to the a#ility of communicating in an effective way despite the fact

presenting it to a small or a large audience. It a process where you explain and show the content

which you are talking a#out to your audience. In order to #e an effective presenter or a

communicator7 one has to keep practicing the presentation which is to #e presented in order to

make it effective and efficient. &ut sadly7 most of us lack in many areas such as in pronunciations7 having stage fear and lack of knowledge of the content which is to #e presented.

&y not doing a good presentation7 the audience will not understand what the presenter is trying to

say and therefore the presentation will #e a waste and also a time waster for the audience as they

expect something #etter and a message from the presenter.

&M/01/21 Page 3 B


9/27


)ow to 'evelo( t$e *resentation Skills

$he following eight tips will help me to #e an effective presenterJ

2. Talking naturally to t$e audience8 it5s always good to avoid reading from a script when

doing a presentation. And at the same time it5s good to keep a short note in hand to make

sure if in case we forget what to talk7 therefore can have a 9uick glance into it and talk to

the audience naturally again.

4. %tand and move around a #it7 therefore the audience will get attracted and #e interested.

=. C$ange t$e tone (itc$ and volume of t$e voice 8 #y doing this7 it will again get the

attraction of the audience and it will give the audience an interest to listen instead talking

in a monotone voice which will make the audience feel #ored and loose interest in the

presentation.

/. )ave eye contact wit$ t$e audience%*eep looking at the audience7 every single person

who attends it7 it will make the audience feel good and get their attention towards the

presenter.

C. #sing visual aids w$en a((ro(riate8 @sing graphs and charts7 diagrams7 pictures and

video will make the presentation interesting. -e should talk all the relevant things which

is relating to the visual aids and not showing a picture and talk some other things which

will distract the audience.

1. *eep rehearsing your talk and check the timing as a long presentation will make the

audience loose interest.. *re(are and structure t$e (resentation before (resenting8 #efore starting the

presentation7 tell the audience what are you going to talk a#out and end with a good note

that is summari6ing all the points talked in the presentation throughout.

B. ,e focused t$roug$out t$e entire (resentation8 Do not get distracted and avoid giving

un8necessary details.

1.1.0 Leaders$i( Skill

In the managements point of view7 leadership role is played #y a person called a leader where the

considering leader should direct and influence all organi6ational mem#ers towards the goals and

o#ectives of the organi6ation. $herefore7 every manager in a #usiness should #e a good leader.

&M/01/21 Page 3 F

In order to #ecome a good leader7 the considering person needs to have power7 he should have

followers and he should have more powers than the followers.

$he leadership roles and skills can #e seen around us not only in the work environment. It can #e

applied to any situations where you have to take the leadership professional wise7 socially and at

home when it comes to family settings. ,eaders #ecome leaders #ecause they have the credi#ility

management complains7 take the #lame on you and not put them to the employees7 thiswill #e a way of motivating them as well as they will feel #etter and they will respect the

leader more and do the right thing the next time without any mistakes. And also make

sure to solve pro#lems when necessary.

1.1./ Anger &anagement Skill

All of us get angryJ therefore we know what anger is and how destructive it could #e. &y not

#eing a#le to control anger7 it can lead to #igger pro#lems as the anger will control you and you

will not control the anger any more. It can lead to personal relationship pro#lems7 pro#lems at

work and in the overall 9uality of the life.

)ow to develo( t$e Anger &anagement Skill

It is not really easy to overcome the anger. &ut still we can reduce it for a certain extent. &y

recogni6ing the anger signs such as when the heart #eats faster and #reathing faster is a sign to

show that you will #urst out with anger7 therefore #y taking precautions such as keeping calm

and controlling the anger #efore the anger control you will make sure that no pro#lems will

occur. ounting from one to ten will also slow down your anger as it will give you some time to

take the next step7 #reathing slowly when #eing angry will make you cool down and when you

are really angry7 talking to a friend a#out it and taking the next step will actually stop #e violent

and make the situation calm and not lead to any family7 personal or work place pro#lems.

(aving good communication skills are skills facilitate people to communicate effectively with

each other. ffective communication involves the choice of the #est communications channel7

the technical know8how to use the channel7 the presentation of information to the target

audience7 and the skill to understand responses received from others. Developing good

(aving the capa#ility to communicate informations clearly and accurately and as intended7 is a

key life skill and something that should not #e overlooked. (aving good communication skills

improves the 9uality of life.

)ow to develo( t$e Communication Skill

ommunication skill is really an important factor which is to #e considered when it comes to the

professional development. In order to #ecome a good communicator7 it5s always important to #e

an active listener as listening will let us understand a other person and respond to that person in a

1.-.1 Time &anagement Skill

$ime management is one of the skills which are to #e given high priority as it plays a maor role

in everyone5s life. It5s very crucial in order to have proper time management. urrently I5m a

student enrolled to do the ()D in #usiness managementJ it is never easy to manage the time

when it comes to assignment su#missions as I have my personal works to #e completed as well.

As I help my dad in his #usiness. $herefore7 I really have a hard time completing the assignment

at least a day #efore the su#mission. And I rush doing it within a day or two and end up getting

merits or ust passes and not distinctions. $herefore7 if I maintain a #etter schedule7 that is #y

having proper time management I will #e a#le to get distinctions for my assignments #y

completing it perfectly and also help my dad in his #usiness smoothly in his #usiness which will

help me reduce the stress level as well. 'or example7 if I keep away two hours a day for the

assignments and spend 1 hours working with my dad7 I will #e a#le to have a proper #alanced

time management. &y developing this now itself7 it will help me in my future activities as well7

when I start to do my degree and also when I get enrolled in a professional o#.

1.-.- Leaders$i( Skill

+n the other hand7 throughout my ()D life as a student7 I always loved to take the leadership in

class when different events come up7 #ut unfortunately lacking of my forwardness made some

other individuals to take up the leadership. $he reason #ehind for my lack of forwardness is that I

don5t have self8confidence7 I feel people might not like me and due to that my leadership will

make the event which is to #e organi6ed a flop7 #ut everyone in the class likes me a lot7 I was

a#le to identify that when I had to take the leadership as a marketing manager when we had to

work as an organi6ation and do a %< proect. very#ody loved working under me as I was not

an autocratic leader and was flexi#le with everyone. $aking the leadership was a success at the

end of the day7 #ut it would have #een a great success if I have had more confidence and #eing

more vision8 focusing on the #ig picture and #eing am#itious and also if I had taken more

responsi#ility. )ow I have identified my weaknesses7 these are the areas which I need to develop

in and #e more successful not only in the rest of my ()D life7 #ut also when I get enrolled in a

condition in the future which can #e applied to my personal and the professional life. I selected

two skills such as ,eadership skill and the time management skill #ecause I wanted to #e a good
