Personal Development Portfolio
1. ‘Know thyself’
What have you learnt about yourself through undertaking a series of SWOT analyses? What skills and/or personal attributes did you develop over the duration of the Community Leadership Programme? What skills and/or personal attributes do you need to develop further?
2. ‘Reflective Learning’
How did you decide your personal development objectives? Choose 3 objectives (one from each section) and tell us what you did to achieve these objectives, what you learnt from the experience, what you would improve next time, what key skills you developed, and what progress you have made against your initial Personal Development Plan. In relation to your community objective tell us what impact your efforts had in improving the lives of people in the community.

Hints: You are asked to reflect on your experience – the accounts you give must not be purely descriptive.
You will have to make decisions about which experiences to write about and how best to describe and analyse them. They should be experiences that are relevant to the development of critical reflective learning. You will also need to write about which areas of skill development or knowledge and understanding they demonstrate.
