Personal Development Plans

In this chapter we focus on Personal Development Plans (PDP). PDPs are an important aspect of developing our coaching practice and we begin by sharing what is understood by the term personal development plan along with the purpose and benefits of this as an ongoing process. We also look at some of the underlying theory in support of PDPs and the practicalities of creating them. Finally, we suggest that personal and professional development for coaches are intertwined and as such, recommend reading Chaps. 27 and 28 as a combined exercise.
