Investing in One Area Of Professional Growth

Colleagues-
As we work on FY19 individual goals, please consider below for investing in one area of professional growth.  Contact me with questions.
For Notre Dame,
Bryan Reaume

Main Idea #1: Work with your supervisor to identify a specific area of investment.
Optional exercises:
  1. Scan the University-wide Competency Model.
  2. Read the Curious Chameleon Fundraiser Competency Model.
  3. Revisit your job description/expectations and identify a core skill or responsibility.
  4. Read a book or article on leadership and target one of its highlighted principles.
  5. Identify a gap in university knowledge.
  6. Brainstorm ways to grow in technological ability.
  7. Solicit specific, direct feedback from trusted colleagues.

Main Idea #2: Work with your supervisor to create a detailed action plan that can be executed, measured, and supported throughout the fiscal year.  List the action plan as a goal in Endeavor. 
This plan can include many of the following activities:
  1. Attend HR learning programsCASE conferencesEAB webinars, and/or OIT workshops and present your learning to colleagues.
  2. Utilize books, modules, courses, and videos found at skillport.nd.edu.
  3. Use your educational benefit and enroll in an undergraduate or graduate course.
  4. Participate in cross-functional groups, focus committees, and/or special projects.
  5. Connect with colleagues for mentoring, shadowing, sharing best practices, cross-training, etc.
  6. Proactively offer to teach or train others in an area of expertise.
  7. Check-in regularly with your supervisor for progress-tracking, support, and feedback on your action plan.
