and fully engaged in my education and personal growth. Although I do identify ways in which I
will engage in furthering my formal education, particularly in formal counseling skills, this
artifact more specifically demonstrates strategies I will employ in remaining engaged in my
personal growth. From identifying specific skills to continue to develop, to strategies for further
professional development opportunities, to strategic relationships to cultivate, and lastly to
maintenance of a positive work/life balance, this artifact has served me well in reflecting on my
future beyond the masters degree and into several years into my career.
My engagement in the learning and development I have described
might have been enhanced by reflecting on a professional development plan
at the beginning of the term rather than at the latter half of the course. In
truth, I believe that the development of a professional development plan
would be more effective in the first year of this program and again revisited
in the second year in this course. A sequence such as this might have
encouraged a more intentional plan for professional development throughout
the educational process of this program. A plan of this nature is important to
revisit and revise on a regular basis. Although I have been intentional in
aligning the conferences and educational workshops I have participated in to
my career goal of serving as an EOP Counselor, I might have been more
thoughtful about a long term vision rather than the shorter term of my two
years in this program.
