Be specific and practical in the actions you will take.  \nSMART planning builds confidence as you see progress being made. Also, where the plan isnot implemented fully, it prompts you to think through why, and what you can learn or do in the future.  \n1. Based on your skills and development needs, prioritize the areas that need attention.  \n2. List them on the accompanying form. Generally, 3 is enough.  \n3. Decide what actions are planned. There may be a number of actions for each priority area.  \n4. Decide when this action will be implemented. Be realistic. If you attempt too much at once you run the risk of adding to your stress and wasting time.  \n5. If you need assistance or the cooperation of another person or group, note who they are.  \n6. Choose a time when you will review your progress.  \n7. Describe what success looks like.  \n8. What are the performance measures (what will you see, hear or feel) that you can use to show yourself that you have made progress?  \n9. Add to your To-Do list or your diary those actions that begin tomorrow or this week.  \n10. Add to your diary those actions that begin on a specific date later in the month or year.  \n11. Mark in your diary the dates that you have chosen for 'By when' and 'Review date'.  \nHelpful Tools  \nStrategies to Improve Listening Skills  \n[http://www.duncansutherland.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:strategies-to-improve](http://www.duncansutherland.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:strategies-to-improve)listening-skills&catid=14:tools-and-resources-for-coaching-and-mentoring&Itemid=7  \nQuestioning Skills Guide  \n[http://www.duncansutherland.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=41:questioning-skills](http://www.duncansutherland.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=41:questioning-skills)  \nguide&catid=14:tools-and-resources-for-coaching-and-mentoring&Itemid=7  \nFeedback Skills Guide  \n[http://www.duncansutherland.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=40:feedback-skills](http://www.duncansutherland.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=40:feedback-skills)  \nguide&catid=14:tools-and-resources-for-coaching-and-mentoring&Itemid=7  \nHow to Have Difficult Conversations  \n[http://www.duncansutherland.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=97:difficult](http://www.duncansutherland.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=97:difficult)  \nconversations&catid=14:tools-and-resources-for-coaching-and-mentoring&Itemid=7  \nLeadership Capabilities Self-Assessment Tool  \n[http://www.duncansutherland.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=45:leadership-capabilities](http://www.duncansutherland.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=45:leadership-capabilities)self-assessment&catid=14:tools-and-resources-for-coaching-and-mentoring&Itemid=7  \nExample SMART Professional Development Plan  \nName: Example Date: / /  \n\n| Priority | Outcome, objective or area of improvement | Action Planned | By when | With help from | Review date | Indicators of success |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 3 | Feel confident in myself when I express my ideas and opinions in meetings where they are at odds with the rest of the group | 1.Say my idea to myself in my head\u003Cbr>2.Watch my \"self-talk\" – remind myself that my contribution is important and it is what I am paid to do | Next work meeting | Peer who will give feedback | 3 meetings from now | 1.More and better contributions in meetings\u003Cbr>2.People ask for my ideas in meetings |\n| 1 | Create opportunities to promote a positive profile of myself | 1.Actively seek out opportunities to present information to different audiences\u003Cbr>2.Prepare a list of t","cbCaiitoR4V0bIg1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiitoR4V0bIg1","pdf",113439,"English","# SMART Professional Development Plans\n## SMART planning steps\n## Helpful tools\n## Example SMART Professional Development Plan\n## Blank SMART Professional Development Plan","[{\"question\":\"What does SMART mean in a professional development plan?\",\"answer\":\"SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Attractive, Realistic, and Time constrained.
