How to Stand Out in Your First 90 Days at Work

From Emily Lago Anderson. Watch here or open it on YouTube .

During the course primer, listen for ideas that change how you approach “Build a 30/60/90-day growth plan.” Pause once to capture a useful point, then apply it while producing a complete first-90-days plan and accomplishment log template.
Before you begin

What this lesson is really solving.

Set staged learning, contribution, feedback, and support goals for the first 90 days. This is lesson 6 because later decisions depend on a complete first-90-days plan and accomplishment log template. A growth plan is a series of testable commitments, not a promise to become perfect quickly. Use your own numbers, files, environment, and constraints so the result survives outside the course.

Why this works

Understand the idea before touching the steps.

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

Do this

Follow these steps in order.

Take the action in each step; then use the deliverable below to prove the lesson is finished.

  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.

Worked example

See the standard in context.

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. The learner saves a complete first-90-days plan and accomplishment log template and notes the evidence or assumption behind the choice so it can be reviewed and improved later.

Quality check

Inspect before you move on.

  • The finished work visibly includes a complete first-90-days plan and accomplishment log template.
  • You tested the work against this common failure: Using vague goals such as be more confident or impress everyone without a behavior, evidence, or review date.
  • Another person could verify this mastery standard: Every goal has an owner, a realistic measure, a support path, and a date to keep, revise, or stop it.
