Coaching and Volunteering

An action plan is a “sequence of steps that must be taken, or activities that must be performed well, for a strategy to succeed” (Businessdictionary 2013). The Context of Action Plan is to list skills that an individual want improve on these skills that would link in to employability skills. Skills such as self-motivation, communication, leadership and organisational skills. An action plan should set out to active short terms goals and long term goals by identifying area which an individual needs improvement on. Action Plans are designed to help you keep focussed on your goals the difference between a plan and an action plan is that in an action plan you can list feedback what you want to improve on, how you think this will help you, what you need to do to reach this goal. (Nationalcareersservice 2010) “Action planning is a process which will help you to focus your ideas and to decide what steps you need to take to achieve particular goals” (Kent.ac.uk 1979). The concept of target setting is to have something to work towards a goal/target knowing what your goal/target is will help when trying to achieve it. Having short term goals/targets i.e. weekly or monthly these goals will lead on to achieving the long term goal. (Locke and Latham 2013). The justification of completing an action plan can be measured by knowing where you are and where you want to be in terms of goals being set and if there are reached and achieved. Action plan are very useful when parting in a coaching sessions. When making an action plan targets can be set short term i.e. long rage passing or long term i.e. keeping leads when going in front in a football game. Doing an action plan coaches and players k now where they are in terms of what needs to be done how they can get there (reach the goal)
