Week 12- Personal Development Plan Final Week

Over the last 12 weeks I have been trying to improve myself in three different areas, these are listed below, as this is the final week I will be giving an overview and analysis of how I think my progress has gone other the last 12 weeks.

Improve on my confidence

Improve in dealing with different situations under pressure

Try and get people to work together on various different tasks, improving on my leadership skills

Also to improve on my attendance

This is the final week of my personal development plan and as a result of doing this I feel more confident within myself. This I feel has shown within my work as I have managed to complete to a high standard and get more work done as a result of this. This is all due to having confidence to be able to try and get the work done and have a feeling of wanting to get the work done as every piece become an achievement as I was able to create more work. As a result of this program I feel that I have more confidence in the work that I am doing and when working with other, this has also improved when working under pressure situations. Over the last few weeks I also feel that my attendance has improved and as a result of this the work that I have produced. This will help me in the future as it allows me to continue working hard and work towards my life goals and ambitions.

One goal that I wish to continue in to the future and take away from this is to continue to get the work done on time to be able to get more work completed and to a higher standard as a result of this. This will help me improve as it will allow me to have more time on  my hands to be able to complete the work that I ma doing. Doing this will decrease the amount of pressure that I will have to get the work completed on time and to a high standard.

Week 11- Personal Development Plan

Over the last 11 weeks I have been trying to improve myself in three different areas, these are listed below;

Improve on my confidence

Improve in dealing with different situations under pressure

Try and get people to work together on various different tasks, improving on my leadership skills

Also to improve on my attendance

Two weeks ago I set myself a new target to get all work done and completed under high pressure situation, on time and at a good standard. At this point in time I have currently caught up with my work and as a result of this I have gained confidence in myself to be able to catch up with my work and do this to a high standard. As a result of this I am happy with the overall progress that I have made over this 12 week program. However for the last week my main goal still remain to increase in confidence as much as possible as I still feel that over these 11 weeks my confidence still remains a weaknesses, however it isn't as much as weaknesses as when I started this personal development plan.

Week 10- Personal Development Plan

Over the last 10 weeks I have been trying to improve myself in three different areas, these are listed

Improve on my confidence

Improve in dealing with different situations under pressure

Try and get people to work together on various different tasks, improving on my leadership skills

Also to improve on my attendance

Last week I set myself a new target to get all work done and completed under high pressure situation, on time and at a good standard. Due to my illness last week I had more work to catch up on and I felt that this was a perfect opportunity to set a new goal for myself to try and get myself back up to date and getting all the work done up to a good standard. With this new goal I feel that I am getting closer to it everyday. This is due to the amount of work I am getting done each day and I am putting extra effort in to be able to catch up and even get ahead of the work that I am currently doing. To be able to see that I am catching up with other pupils within the same classes as me gives me confidence in my own work that I am achieving this target as a result of hard work. This week I also that my attendance has improved over the last week as I have managed to come in everyday during the week which as a result of this has helped me to improve the standard of the work that I have produced during this week. This will then allow me to then produce better work in the future as I will have less work to do in more time.

Week 9- Personal Development Plan

Over the last 9 weeks I have been trying to improve myself in three different areas, these are listed below;

Improve on my confidence

Improve in dealing with different situations under pressure

Try and get people to work together on various different tasks, improving on my leadership skills

Also to improve on my attendance

Over the past week I don't feel like I have improved much on any of the areas above, this is due to my focus being taken away from completing any of these targets due to illness, however while being ill I have managed to create a new target for myself for the final few weeks. The new target that I have set myself is to complete my work to a high standard on time even during high pressured situations. This is due to the amount of work that I have had other the past few weeks I feel that I need to make a target to be able to control and manage these situations. Overall this week has had no improvements from the last but I am hopeful to try and carry on improving for the next few weeks in these areas. During this week although I have had time off, which has effected my attendance as are result of not being in school, however I have managed to keep on track with most of my work and the work that I haven't caught up on is a small work load that can be caught up on in a reasonable small amount of time. This however has made this week have no progress due to me not being able to improve on many of my targets, as a result of this I am very much in the same position as the week before.

Week 8- Personal Development Plan

Over the last 8 weeks I have been trying to improve myself in three different areas, these are listed below;

Improve on my confidence

Improve in dealing with different situations under pressure

Try and get people to work together on various different tasks, improving on my leadership skills

Trying to ensure that all work gets in on time and meets deadlines

This week I feel that I have again improved on my confidence this is due to the amount of work that I have managed to complete within this week to a good standard. Along with this I have again managed to get some fellow students to work together in some of my work and as a result of this I have got extra work done within this week. Other than this I haven't done anything other this week due to me not having many opportunities to be able to improve on these weaknesses. During this week I feel that I have caught up with all outstanding work and I will continue to do this from now on as I have managed to increase the grades of my work from doing this I have had more time to be able to make some pieces of work better. As a result of this I have decided to take this goal off my SMART targets as I feel that I have achieved this over the last few weeks. Due to me then completing this goal I am going to set myself a new goal to try and achieve over the final few weeks that are left during this plan.

The new target that I am going to set myself is to try and increase my attendance to be able to complete more work during school hours to ensure that I wont fall behind and have to catch up and then again set another target to be able to finish off work to create less stress levels for me to then produce better work as a result.

Week 7- Personal Developmet Plan

Over the last 7 weeks I have been trying to improve myself in three different areas, these are listed below;

The SMART targets that I have set myself are;

• Improve on my confidence
• Improve in dealing with different situations under pressure
• Try and get people to work together on various different tasks, improving on my leadership skills
• Trying to ensure that all work gets in on time and meets deadlines

This week I feel that I have achieved more in different areas than in previous weeks, this is because I have focused more on trying to get people to work better together. I feel that I have achieved this target this week due to the work that I have done within my work in media and in general over the last week. As a result of getting others to work together I have managed to get more work done as a result of this. In addition to this I feel that my confidence has grown more due to been able to lead and manage people when trying to complete work. This week I also feel that I have caught up more with all work across the board within my school work, as a result of this I am able to produce better work for all my subjects as I am able to spend more time on making different pieces of work better to increase my grades in some areas of my work.

Week 6- Personal Development Plan

Over the last 6 weeks I have been trying to improve myself in three different areas, these are listed below;

Last week I added another goal for myself to be able to finish off all work to be able to keep up with my deadlines to then keep on track with my work to then be able to lower the stress levels and as a result of this produce better work due to having less work to complete in a larger amount of time rather than the other way round.

The main goal of mine for the weeks to come, what is now 6 weeks, I want to try and improve my confidence to not only become better at my work, not just in IT but in all of my subjects that I do. Confidence in my work, I feel, will make my work better. To do this I will need not only support from my teachers but from home as well so that the work that I am doing feels like it has a purpose. To do this feedback on my work and to be important as it will be a drive for me to better my work for it to become better, with my work then being better and also correct this will give me confidence and then I will do better in my work in future work.

My second goal is to become better in dealing with pressure in situations. to do this I feel that I will have to be given lots of deadlines from all my subjects for a short period of time. My job is then to finished and then meet the deadlines and get the work done to a good standard. In addition, to do this I need support from my family to help me out if sometimes it gets too hard and I need help to try and get things done.

My final goal that I want to try and achieve is to try and get people to work together. The way I can do this, and the only way that I feel that I can achieve this is to get people to work well with each other in media to get the work done. The way that this will be done is to when people are trying do develop a film for there work, I would like to try and be the person that is the middle man and try's to keep everything calm and organised to find a solution to a problem and finish off the work that needs to be done to a good standard.

This I have had to deal with many pressure situations, in which I feel that I have achieved and completed my work to a high standard, alongside getting my work done on time for my respected subjects. As a result of this I have gained confidence in myself that I can get the work done when I put my mind to the work and get it done to a high standard. Also last week I organised a small group of people that normally wouldn't be in my circle of friends and we completed the work to a high standard in that subject. As a result of this we have gained extra marks in our work as well as working in a team to get the job done as well. This week I also managed to catch up with some of my work to enable that my work is better in other areas of my school work, this will help me improve as a result of this as it allows me to keep up to date and lower the stress levels for my school work, producing better work as a result of this.

Over the next week I am looking to continue to succeed in getting my work done to deadlines and also to improve my confidence further to excel my intrapersonal skills and also to improve myself as a person.

Week 5- Personal Development Plan

Over the last 5 weeks I have been trying to improve myself in three different areas, these are listed below;

My SMART targets for this week are generally the same, however this week I have decided to add another target to my plan. This is to complete all current work on time to stop any mis-deadlines from any work that I may have. This should then make the work that I am currently doing a better quality as a result of this stress levels will come down as my all my work would be done on time. However I am still keeping my other targets to try and improve in as many possible areas as possible in the next few weeks. This will then allow me to then make further progress for the coming weeks as less pressure will be on me as a result.

This week I feel that I have improved, I feel that this week I have improved in most areas that I wish to improve in myself. Although i do feel there is room for improvement in all areas. My main aim for this next week is to continue improving and maintaining the levels that I have achieved in my confidence to go on and improve further with my confidence. I also feel that I have got people to work together this week as we have had an important group deadline in Media this week and i have organised a small group of people to different roles to get the job done quicker and also as a result of us working together, getting the work done on time. Other the next week I am looking to improve further on my three targets that I have set myself for this 12 week development plan.

Week 4- Personal Development Plan

Over the last few weeks I have set myself three goals to achieve over a twelve week period. The three goals are listed below;

The main goal of mine for the weeks to come, what is now 8 weeks, I want to try and improve my confidence to not only become better at my work, not just in IT but in all of my subjects that I do. Confidence in my work, I feel, will make my work better. To do this I will need not only support from my teachers but from home as well so that the work that i am doing feels like it has a purpose. To do this feedback on my work and to be important as it will be a drive for me to better my work for it to become better, with my work then being better and also correct this will give me confidence and then I will do better in my work in future work.

My second goal is to become better in dealing with pressure in situations. to do this I feel that I will have to be given lots of deadlines from all my subjects for a short period of time. My job is then to finished and then meet the deadlines and get the work done to a good standard. In addition, to do this I need support from my family to help me out if sometimes it gets too hard and I need help to try and get things done.

My final goal that I want to try and achieve is to try and get people to work together. The way I can do this, and the only way that I feel that I can achieve this is to get people to work well with each other in media to get the work done. The way that this will be done is to when people are trying do develop a film for there work, I would like to try and be the person that is the middle man and try's to keep everything calm and organised to find a solution to a problem and finish off the work that needs to be done to a good standard.

Over the past week I feel that my confidence has improved as I feel more confident in the answers that I am providing to all my teachers. This is from me giving my answer and either being right or wrong I know I have tried my best in all areas to get the best possible answer. Due to this I feel that in general that my confidence has grown and improved slightly.

In addition to this, my second goal that I have set myself is do be able to deal with pressure. Although I don't think I have had chance to really true to gain progress in this area I will update my blog at the regular week to show my progress within this goal that I have set myself.

Finally my last goal is to try and get people to work together, as it states in my goal the only real possible way that I have of getting people to work together is in my Media lesson. Other the last week in my media work I have had to help out with one of my friends with one of their film ideas and planning preparation for this work to be done. As a result of this I decided to take on the role of Team Leader and assign roles to others helping out with the work. As a result of this it has improved my confidence and also my leadership qualities as well.
