As developers of people we must work on our own personal development objectives, alongside supporting others in their development. This training activity provides an opportunity for participants to reflect on their learning during the programme and to plan their personal development in relation to their role as developers of people.

Following a short introduction, the participants review the analytical and planning techniques of SWOT, forcefield analysis and SMART objective setting, used in earlier activities, in order to put them to use in personal development planning. Participants then form pairs to coach each other in developing action plans to implement one short-term and one long-term personal development objective related to their learning as developers of people. The training activity ends with the participants giving and receiving positive feedback in relation to working with each other.
