Personal Leadership Development Plan – Using Visuals to Self Inspire

How you put your personal development plan out into realistic action – depends on a lot how you enjoy learning.    Lists and normal goal setting forms work well for those who have an auditory preference – but what if that is not your preferred learning style?

I have a blended preferred learning style, so I love Gantt charts and Excel planning sheets, and still I need some visual aids to keep me inspired and in momentum. Here are some of the enjoyable tools I am using this year….

The Exploding Box  (Make your own, or have a crafter make one for you – etsy.com and search for exploding box)

A Big Wall Calendar  ( I got this educational wall calendar from papersource.com)

A software program that lets you collect ideas and information easily (and in a fun visual way)

I use the personal brain for keeping track of ideas I have for example… ( www.thebrain.com)

and when I have a little relaxation time… I doodle

doodle your plan

Take a little time to think about – what allows you to put a plan in place that inspires you.   You love visual things and visual learning – make a visual plan.

I encourage you to take the time to make a plan that fits your personal learning and working style.  It will help you visualize to get super clear on your next right steps. And that is what a plan is all about – knowing the next right step to take.   Remember, It may be a combination of tools – or it may be just one.   A key is to use them.

 

Do a little research and find your right way to make your two next years plan.  There is a lot out there.

Haven’t written out your goals for next year?.  You are not alone. Only about 3% of folks do.   Now if you aren’t in that 3% – because it’s been because your plan seemed to dry, serious or weighty.  Why not try some fun visual tools to support you.

Got some additional ideas on how to make planning more enjoyable? Please leave a comment to share.
