4. Action Planning

5. Developing the Action Plan
Things to consider when developing the action plan:
Have I incorporated a “growth” areas from the Reflect & Plans into this Action Plan? Do I know exactly how I will implement this coaching technique? In other words, have I been specific?
Is this a manageable next step for me, one that I am very likely to complete and succeed at implementing?
How will I measure improvement? How will I know if I have done this?
Are the tasks related to the objectives clearly defined?

6. Developing the Action Plan (continued)
Things to consider when developing the action plan:
Are the tasks ordered sequentially?
What does it mean to choose a “relevant” coaching goal? Is my goal relevant?
Are there deadlines/timelines realistic?
Are there resources (training, materials, information) needed in order to complete the tasks and achieve the objectives?
Am I committed to using the Action Plan as a roadmap for growth?

How will you measure success? Do you have a support system/cheering squad to provide encouragement, affirmation and celebrate achievements?
Who is in your support system?
What, if any adjustments need to be made?
How will you measure success? .
