Introduction
Using SMART goals and emotional intelligence, I will develop a future development plan
to help me grow as a leader.
In that process, as I learn, I will develop a leadership coaching plan
to help other new leaders evolve in their leadership skills and development.
Personal Development Plan
After taking the self-assessment and reviewing the feedback from my instructor, I have
learned that I need to be more specific in setting specific dates and times with my timelines and
goals.
Often, I leave specifics out, assuming they will eventually happen so long as a plan is in
place.
However, I can see where I can fall short because I need more specific information about
my background in my career and academics.
I also need to include the wheel of life in my SMART goals.
This is often challenging in
fast-paced working environments, school, and other distractors.
It is essential to emotional well-
being and to live a healthy and full life.
The wheel of life focuses on the main areas of life, such
as health, career, personal development, finances, life enjoyment, contribution to society,
relationships, and romance (Lynch, 2022).
Completing and maintaining SMART goals is essential and often utilizes others.
Such as
sharing goals with others, celebrating wins, and asking others to critique your performance to see
what they think went well and what you could have done differently (Leonard, 2022).

My first goal is to complete my M.H.A. classes by August 31, 2023.
To achieve this goal, I must
change my behaviors by setting aside dedicated time to complete my coursework and stick to it.
I will also need to hold myself accountable to all timelines more than in the past.
This will
require me to better plan for other work and life events and take time for myself.
By practicing
these behaviors, I will train myself to prioritize better and my own work, along with coaching
others to do the same.
I can contribute to my company by excelling at meeting timelines and
handling time management.
Today, I keep my goals in different places depending on what they
pertain to.
I place personal goals in my Outlook calendar; for work goals, I use my whiteboard
in my office; for group work projects, I use Microsoft shared drives, Teams, and SharePoint.
Condensing this down to one mode of tracking would help significantly.
By using Teams, I
could have all my work, school, and personal timelines in one place to easily coordinate efforts
allowing me to prioritize better.
I often find myself using too many avenues of tracking, which
causes confusion and poor planning.
I will need to step back and methodically document and
track instead of grabbing what is most accessible at the time.

I have my bachelor's degree in healthcare administration and leadership which prepared me for my

Reflection:
How do you think achieving this goal will affect your Wheel of Life?
By achieving this goal, I will improve my financial situation as I would be qualified for new positions
which would advance me in my career.
Also, I will likely be considered for leading new projects and
groups with additional credentials.
Year 1
Complete M.H.A. classes by August 31, 2023.
Schedule courses remaining to be completed in approximately 1 month.
My second goal is to create and hire a new Lead L.P.N. position in my Urgent Care department
by July 1, 2023, to start the new fiscal year.
To achieve this goal, I must hold myself accountable
to all timelines and ensure my human resources department completes their tasks orderly.
This
will require me to be accountable not only for myself but for others as well.
I can contribute to
my company meeting the timeline and have someone in the department who can focus on tasks
5
such as inventory, education, and day-to-day questions to give me more time to dedicate to my
other duties.
Today, I hold myself accountable for my own work and manage more tasks than a
manager typically does in my field of work.
Following up with others involved in creating and
hiring this position ensures timelines are met, and goals are achieved.
A Lead L.P.N. will
contribute to a better functioning department and employee and patient satisfaction.

I am not available as a
resource all the time.

My third goal is to obtain a new position as a director in my organization.
I am a clinic manager
and have been in a management position for the past 10 years.
This position could be in my
department or other departments within or outside my organization.
To achieve this goal, I will
need to change my behaviors by actively seeking new employment or working within my own
department to determine if a director is needed and what steps need to be made to create that
position.
I will also need to hold myself accountable for knowing the demands of the positions I
apply for since they could be within areas I have not worked in before.
I must know their
mission, service lines, notable achievements, size, and other attributes.
I will also need to keep a
compiled list of achievements of my own, keep up on this task, and keep my resume up to date at
all times.
By practicing these behaviors, I will be better prepared to apply and interview for a
new director position, hopefully landing me a new and exciting career.
I can contribute to my
company by filling one of its open positions.
Today, I update my resume infrequently,

contributing to losing track of past accomplishments, experience, and other relevant information.
I need to keep up to date on my progress in this manner to avoid losing sight of what I have done
throughout my career; therefore cannot speak to them on my behalf.
Having this information at
the forefront of my mind will also assist with the interview process to have an effective
conversation about my skills, goals, and potential contributions.
I would not have polished and
well-thought-out answers if asked about these items.

Reflection:
How do you think achieving this goal will affect your Wheel of Life?
My personal life would improve by having a rewarding position I am proud to be a part of and by
being rechallenged and improving my mental health and overall health!
My finances will improve as I
will increase my annual salary.
I will keep my seniority and P.T.O. accrual rate if I stay within my
organization.
Lastly, my personal development will benefit from the new challenges within my new
role, where I can set new and healthy goals—improving the environment of my new department too.

Coaching
Coaching others in behaviors to help them achieve success in their own goals is a
significant part of leadership to ensure team growth, their potential is met, and the staff is in the
correct positions for themselves.
Successful coaching starts at the top.
All leaders need to be
educated on the importance of coaching and how to coach successfully.
Find out where
everyone is in their coaching skillset and work as a team to develop their coaching skills.
Ensure

everyone understands the importance and benefit of coaching and what it brings to the
organization (Robertson, 2015).
We will also need to identify the roles of coaches, participants, and executive sponsors to
better organize the coaching process.
Human resources often fill a role of a consulting coach
acting as a neutral party gathering data from the participants, usually staff, and reporting back to
executive sponsors, usually leadership, to help develop a plan for improvements and goal setting
(Robertson, 2015).
By having a neutral party for data collection, the participants will be more at
ease, allowing them to give open and honest feedback.
Also, participants must review what their
executive sponsor or leadership is doing correctly for them and what they need to improve on to
ensure their success and prosperity.
It is essential to ensure a consistent plan for all participants to ensure equal opportunities
and reliable, measurable outcomes (Robertson, 2015).
With the data collected, develop a plan
outlining their strengths and goals.
When presenting this information, come forth with it as an
opportunity associated with goals to be celebrated later rather than something to improve on
strictly.
Allow time for the participants to provide their feedback.
Review with them what you,
as their leader, will do to assist with their success in goal planning.
Setting measurable outcomes with timelines will need to be determined to track success.
This also gives the participants clear expectations of the following steps, when follow-up will
occur, and what their successes genuinely mean.
These can be set for both the participant and
the leadership.
An example would be to find a personal task of self-development and assign
stages such as identifying the task, the steps to achieve the tasks, and what successful outcomes
would look like while assigning dates to all of them.
Follow-up meetings are also a great way to

discuss if the participants are meeting their goals and if they have noticed a change in the
behaviors in the organization and gauge their happiness in their work (Robertson, 2015).
Executive sponsors will set specific times to meet to discuss the successes and where
improvements could be made in their assigned areas to help develop future strategies and learn
from one another.
Also, to be held accountable for their own goals.
Lastly, always be transparent and ensure everyone that the purpose of this coaching is not
to find fault but to create success and plan for future happiness and prosperity within the
organization.
