These 6 Professional Development targets are more than the six “things” you need to accomplish or “do” in order to meet your employer’s KPIs. Or, your sales manager’s quota. Creating your very own professional development targets gives you ownership of you. Perhaps for the first time?
At the end of the day, what exactly is it, about you specifically, that inspires current and future customers, and association members, to continue doing business with your organization? Answering that one question defines your value: to yourself, your colleagues, your clients and your employer.

If you equate your professional development targets to whatever your organizational or association’s KPI’s are, you are not alone.
Far too much of our daily workplace activities involve everything but developing ourselves, professionally. Then, we get very busy doing time-consuming, soul-sucking busy work. As a result, we de-prioritize our own daily professional development.
If we do not prioritize taking responsibility for developing ourselves professionally and purposefully, who else really will?
Many employees consider their professional development as their employer’s responsibility, once they enter that specific workplace. Except that on-the job-fulfillment and satisfaction involve so much more counting on someone else to be accountable for you.
Defining yourself in terms of your organization’s or association’s KPIs only tells part of your professional story. Why leave YOU up to “someone else”?
