Module 4 – SLP

SPECIAL CASES IN COACHING

Share Your Leadership Growth Plan

Background

Now that you have created a plan it is time to share it with your supervisor, get some feedback, and ask for his or her help in putting it into action. You may do this by setting up a meeting with your supervisor or mentor (if you have one) and making a presentation based on all of the work you have done in this SLP. At the end of your presentation, you should have a discussion with your supervisor as to implementing the plan and receiving the resources you will need.

Assignment Instructions

For the purpose of this assignment, you will be creating a 15-minute PowerPoint presentation with a voiceover that you will submit to the professor by the end of the module. This PowerPoint should contain all of the elements of your plan and how you would present it to your supervisor and/or mentor. It should contain the following elements:

• A personal assessment: Your values, leadership style, motivators, and competencies
• A personal vision statement
• Any obstacles you have identified to achieving your vision
• Personal goals
• Your action plan

Keys to the Assignment

• Use the SLP assignments from Modules 1-3 to form the basis of your presentation.
• Update any information that has changed or received further consideration as the course progressed.
