Development plans
When developing personal effectiveness you will be expected to:
- identify current personal and/or team working skills relevant to your project or challenge
- identify any additional personal and/or team working skills likely to be needed
- plan for developing and improving skills
Skills audit
A skills audit can be used to assess the level of expertise across a range of skills. It is important to analyse a skills audit once it has been completed. This is because a skills audit identifies which skills need to be developed.
You should think about what skills are needed to undertake your community activity, which will be one of the following:
- a social/welfare opportunity
- a neighbourhood enhancement opportunity
- a coaching opportunity
A skills audit should note the following points:
- type of skill (ie people skills or personal skills)
- skills required
- a skill you currently don’t have
- a skill you have used in the past, but you’re not an expert in using
- a skill that you use regularly and feel confident using
A clear skills audit will identify which skills need developing
