Throughout this portfolio, I intend to look at where I am in my personal and professional life right now. In order to do this I am going to reflect on past events that have led me to create this plan. I shall then look at where I plan to be, and what steps I shall take to reach my goals. Over the course of this academic year, I shall revisit, revise and amend my personal development plan as I learn more about myself, try and improve on areas that I have identified as weaknesses, evolve as a student, adapt to new information, and overcome any obstacles that may arise as life itself runs its course. Detailed in the table below, is a list of my qualifications and information relating to course I have undertook.

    My Professional Development Plan at this moment is to obtain all the knowledge of life lessons and professional skills that I can obtain in this class and use it to better myself. So far there is nothing much that I have learned about myself that I’m already aware of. Hopefully as I progress through the next 6 weeks I may learn something new about myself. There have been interesting assessment’s that I have completed within the last two weeks. They are the following: Jungian Typology (Bauer & Erdogan, 2013) after completing that assessment the result stated that I’m an introvert which is true, but not 100% I’m reserve when I’m at work or out on events, but at home with friends and family I’m outgoing and verbal. Now this is something that I need to work on and be more extrovert and get out of being reserve.…

    The future is a scary, but also exciting, thing to think about. I feel lucky to have been given the opportunity to take this course where exploring our education and our future was the whole point. I feel as though I learned a lot during the duration of this course, but I haven’t really had the opportunity to put it into practice yet which is why I am glad this paper was assigned. It gives me the opportunity to really explore my future in ways I haven’t done so yet. In order to really see how this course has affected me, I must first look back at old assignments to see how I have changed since the beginning of this course and during the duration of this course.…

    Professional Action Plan

    • 1354 Words
    • 6 Pages

    I am a firm believer that in order to best choose what to do with your life, you must first know who you are in life. Self-awareness can help create a happy, balanced, and fulfilled existence on a personal and professional level. This can equate to success on both sides of the spectrum. HCS/449, Health Care Capstone has helped me understand this statistic more clearly and it will be etched in my psyche for years to come. I will aim to expand on this knowledge of self and how I may effectively convey it to the world around me; specifically the world of health care on a management level. I am a: hard worker, high performer, fast past learner, self-starter, team player, and work well under pressure. I am a motivator by choice and possess keen communication skills. I was lastly employed in the health care industry in 2010, to pursuit a BSHA and will return to the industry as a more valuable asset. My extreme passion is sometimes misread as aggression and I am strategically learning to control my passion to fit my environment. The objective of this essay is to answer: what my professional goals are, what job I plan to have in the health care sector, what skills I currently have for this job, which skills I need to change or alter, my plan for ultimately achieving my professional goals, what professional organizations can help me achieve these goals, and what benefit does the career action plan outline?…
