- why make a personal plan, when I am so busy already ?
- managing uncertainties and challenges: avoiding or confronting?
- understanding planning-- vision, mission, objectives, motivation, constraints, barriers, choice of strategies, risks, support, control
- analyzing external environments relevant to me--changes and impacts, opportunities and threats; filtering complexities
- understanding and empowering myself--assessing my philosophy, belief and values; identifying, balancing and capitalising on my roles and networks; hard and soft strengths and weaknesses, gaps to bridge, the importance of rest
- tailor-making a life path for myself-- overcoming external and internal challenges and barriers, assessing costs, benefits and impacts, drawing a life-path diagram, managing life assets; action learning; knowledge management; Free Agent approach; contingency planning and controls
I plan to write on these issues in future postings.
