Personal Development Plan

[cartoon] "... welcome to the first day of the rest of your life and to get started we'll make a list of all the silly things you did yesterday ..."

The PDP (personal development plan) needs to answer some key questions:
What do I want to achieve?
What experience do I require to get there?
What competencies do I require to get there?, and
What is my timeline to get there?

One of the challenges in life is that all the pressures in a typical life all tend to come at once - and generally when you are in your 30's - children, a mortgage, good career opportunities, etc - and they come at a time when you may not be best prepared to handle them all at once. In many cases, something snaps, and you give something up - like work opportunities or divorce.
