GBA 7233:Personal and Professional Development Planning

2-4 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 2-4 Credit Hours
In today’s business environment, self-reflection and continuous personal planning are important leadership skills. Naturally, managers who master these skills are more likely to achieve personal career goals, but they are also more likely to produce superior business outcomes for the organizations which employ them. This course includes the creation of a Personal Plan of Action and introduces the student to the practice of journaling as a method of critical reflection around career-related topics. The latter is integrated into personal coaching sessions to help the student deepen reflection and understanding of the unique and individual aspects of his/her personal and professional life. Most of the instructional activity for this course is delivered in a combination of a “virtual classroom” environment (using a technology unique to the Executive MBA program) and private in-person meetings with a member of the faculty who specializes in career coaching.
