Before you begin

The idea in everyday life

Set staged learning, contribution, feedback, and support goals for the first 90 days.

The idea

A growth plan is a series of testable commitments, not a promise to become perfect quickly.

Try it

One step at a time.

Use the sample or information you have permission to use. Keep your work as you go. You can pause between steps.

  1. 1

    Choose one learning goal, one contribution goal, one relationship or support goal, and one risk to monitor for each stage.

  2. 2

    Define evidence for each goal: completed work, quality measure, feedback, credential step, or documented practice.

  3. 3

    Schedule review conversations at days 30, 60, and 90, with a decision rule for revising the plan.

Example

See how it works.

Avery sets a day-30 goal to complete the core workflow with one review, a day-60 goal to own a repeatable task, and a day-90 goal to propose one improvement.

Check your work

Did you cover these?

  • Your work includes a complete first-90-days plan and accomplishment log template.
  • Check this common mistake: Using vague goals such as be more confident or impress everyone without a behavior, evidence, or review date.
  • Every goal has an owner, a realistic measure, a support path, and a date to keep, revise, or stop it.
