Exercise 2: Program Director Academy

Create your own self-development plan to help guide your personal growth for the next 24 months. 

A self-development plan should include the following:

• Review your “Primary Responsibilities” on your newly created Job Description.

• Ask yourself if you understand what your owner and/or immediate manager expects of you regarding each “primary responsibility”

• Ask yourself what you do well and what you find challenging based on their expectations
  • Note which things you find challenging, so they can become a part of your Self-Development Plan

• Include ideas to help you turn challenges into successes such as books to read, seminars to attend, mentors to talk with, etc…

• Identify other self-development outside of your job that you feel is important to you.

• Provide a timeline of accomplishments against your plan by providing estimated dates of completion.
  • Suggestion- map these actions out over the course of 24 months to ensure progress in a timely, but not overly stressful manner.
