The development plan
This is a choices exercise, not a wish list. You cannot develop eight things at once, and trying is the reason most development plans die in March. Pick the one that is blocking you, add at most two more, and be specific enough that someone could check whether you did it.
First, bring in what you already did
This plan is only as good as what it is built on.
Two things make a development plan real. Knowing where you actually stand, which is the competency check-in, and knowing what you are aiming at, which is your goals. Do those first if you have not, then paste their links here and they come with you. Nothing is sent anywhere, the link just carries your own answers.
Then choose
Which competencies, and why those.
Usually it is the one that is blocking you, which is often your lowest score, and the ones your goals depend on. Those are not always the same thing. If you want to build an AI business and you are weak at sales, sales is the choice even if something else scored lower.
Pick a maximum of 3, and always mark one as primary. Three things developed properly beats eight things listed. The primary is the one you want moved in the earliest timeframe; the others can sit on a longer horizon.
No check-in loaded, so add them by hand. The scores are what make the choice honest, so it is worth going back and doing it.
Take it with you
Everything you have filled in across the check-in, your goals, the development plan and the weekly check-ins, gathered into one branded page. Save it as a PDF, print it, or send it to yourself. It is built in your browser, so nothing is uploaded anywhere.
A development plan is the easiest thing in the world to write and ignore.
The people who actually move are the ones who said it out loud to someone who will ask them about it in a month. That is most of what a coach is for. The first call is free.
