ABSTRACT

Often people tend to give little thought about their own personal development other than what course they would like to go on next, and deciding on their next job also tends to be done with little overall consideration as to whether it will help them get where they want their career to take them. It is easy to see why this happens; we have very few tools to help us put together a really good personal development plan based on you really thinking about both the near and longer term, both of which have very different development needs. Another difficult challenge that we seem less than equipped to face is thinking about how you can achieve your potential and move your way through the world of safety such that you achieve your career ambitions.
