1. Goals and Objectives

Goal 1: Improve Time Management Skills
- Objective: Implement a weekly planning system to prioritize tasks effectively and reduce procrastination.
Goal 2: Enhance Communication Skills

Goal 3: Increase Confidence in Public Speaking

Goal 1 Progress:
Jane successfully implemented a weekly planning system. She dedicated two hours every Sunday to plan her week, using the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks. This week, she completed 90% of her scheduled tasks, an improvement from the previous week’s 70%. She also identified her peak productivity hours (10 AM - 12 PM) and scheduled high-priority tasks during this time.
Goal 2 Progress:
Jane practiced active listening during team meetings, noting she asked at least two clarifying questions in each session. She received positive feedback from her colleagues, who noted that her engagement levels increased the overall team morale. Additionally, she reported a 20% increase in her self-confidence when sharing ideas in group discussions.
Goal 3 Progress:
Jane prepared a presentation on the project outcomes of a recent initiative. She practiced in front of a mirror and recorded herself to refine her delivery. Despite feeling nervous, she successfully delivered the presentation to her team of eight members, incorporating their feedback into her next practice session. They commended her clarity and engagement.

Challenge 1: Difficulty in sticking to the planned schedule, especially with unexpected work tasks.
- Solution: We discussed implementing a buffer period for unexpected tasks and using a digital calendar for real-time adjustments. Jane will also try the Pomodoro Technique to maintain focus while allowing for short breaks to manage distractions.
Challenge 2: Nervousness during the presentation, which affected her delivery.
- Solution: We explored breathing exercises and visualization techniques to manage anxiety. Jane practiced a 5-minute breathing exercise before her presentation, which she found helpful in calming her nerves.

Jane realized that planning her week in advance not only enhances her productivity but also significantly reduces her stress levels. She acknowledged that understanding her peak productivity hours helped her complete more challenging tasks earlier in the day. Additionally, she noted that actively listening allows her to build stronger relationships with her colleagues, enhancing team collaboration.

Action Items for Next Week:
- Continue refining the weekly planning system, incorporating feedback from this week’s experiences.
- Engage in active listening in at least three conversations per day, aiming for more in-depth interactions with team members.
- Begin preparing for a larger presentation scheduled for next month by outlining key points and practicing in front of a peer for feedback.
Goals for Next Week:
- Set aside time for a mid-week check-in to evaluate progress on her planning system.
- Identify specific scenarios to practice active listening techniques, such as during feedback sessions and one-on-one meetings.
- Research additional public speaking resources to enhance her skills further.
