I need an effective personal plan to develop my professional skills and knowledge to manage our professional life and develop a better professional life in future. I focus on the value of skills and personal branding which can help me to present myself in any organisation as an effective employee. Furthermore, I develop ethics skills to perform my job in any industry more effectively and well. As opined by Deplanes et al. (2018), Ethics is also important to judge and identify effective strategies for better performance of an organisation in the market. Leadership is an important skill for any organisation which helps the organisation as well as me to lead a team as well as a departure in future professional life. I need an effective strategy that helps to identify and select the right mode to develop these skills.  It also decides the performance of a group of people in an organisation. I can effectively manage a group through good leadership.

Communication skill is developed through only communicating with others so other persons such as friends and parents are a resource in the process of communication skills development.  As argued by Yiannoutsou et al. (2017), communication skills is a significant skill among different skills and it also helps to achieve other skills that are important to develop a better professional, in future. Communication skills are based on how we communicate with others so have an effective strategy to develop communication skills. Therefore communication skills are also important for any organisation because it helps an employee to manage all business activities of the organisation such as cooperation and business development activities.

I have realized that in this unit that an individual needs to develop all these skills to achieve a better professional life. I need to develop some professional skills to achieve a successful professional life in any organisation. I performed a job in a marketing organisation and I noticed that without communication skills we cannot perform my job role effectively.

Critically explore your current competencies     

My current competence is not too effective as I do not have all the skills that are needed to develop an effective and good professional life. Furthermore, I have just finished my educational life 5 months ago and due to some reason, I joined a marketing company. Thus I do not have enough time to develop my professional life. I didn’t have effective communication skills when I finished my professional life. Nevertheless, I developed my communication skill while I performed my job role in the market. I face different types of clients and communicate with them and this way I am able to develop effective communication in my professional life. As opined by Weaver and Mutti, (2021), this development will help us in our future professional life. Nevertheless, I need to develop a digital professional brand to reflect myself in any organisation that helps to perform my jobs more effectively. Nowadays different types of organisations are shifted from traditional working structures to digital methods of performing business activities. Thus I need to develop skills that help me to perform my different types of business cavities through digital gadgets and latest technology. As opined by Borelli and Santos, (2017), the latest technology plays a significant role in handling and performing jobs in the market. For example, digital gadgets and digital modes of payment help me to take orders from customers and take payments from customers. Thus knowledge of latest technology and digital tools is much necessary to develop a digital professional career and develop a digital brand.

Conclusion

It is concluded that PDP is essential for effective professional life and career. This plan can help an individual who just finished their educational life and start a professional life. I also need an effective PDP to develop skills to perform my professional activities more efficiently and get a better professional life in future. I also discuss my threats and opportunities in this PDP on which I focus to develop my professional life. I also focus on achieving knowledge and skills for performing my professional activities with the help of digital gadgets.
