Does anyone have a good career development plan template that they can share? If not, can you share what constitutes an effective template / outline?

There are a few types of plans - I run a semi-annual process with my team to think about career aspirations, and what is needed to achieve them. Template goes as follows:
- Medium-term (2-5 year) career goal: Nothing magic about this timeframe, but it's long enough that it frees us up to think big, but short enough that it still feels tangible
- Key motivators: Understanding that motivations are deeply personal, and 'success' means something different for each of us, we try to spend time discussing the intangibles in someone's job that keep them happy / engaged. For some folks this is about leadership visibility, for others it's cross-functional relationships, for others it's ability to see their impact in the numbers. This is especially helpful for building trust / understanding with their manager.
- Strengths: What are the top 2-3 skills / attributes that position the person well to achieve their medium-term career goal?
- Development opportunities: What are the 2-3 things that this person need to focus / skills they need to build in order to achieve their career goal?
- Development plans: I ask each person to select concrete goals for the next 6 months that will move them towards their career aspiration. This is typically a mix of building on strengths and addressing development opportunities.

Hope this helps!!

Wow, this is super interesting...I may actually try this one out. I like the idea of doing medium term stuff and then maybe scaling up to long terms. I have lots of ideas and plans, but I can't always seem to articulate them well so maybe using your structure will help. Not OP but thank you!!!!

That's a bit broad. Is there a specific direction you're looking to go in, or future goals you'd like to work toward?

There are so many different free templates that you can download online, definitely look around. I think it’s important to have one with short, medium, and long term goals. When I set big future goals I get overwhelmed and they feel impossible to work on. Breaking everything down makes the whole process way more effective for me.

Hoping for some advice on how to properly leverage another job offer to help make another company pull the trigger on you. I’ll explain: I’ve been interviewing with Company A for a month now and have met with GC, CFO, creatives, and today the final round with HR and CEO. I have a good feeling they will extend an offer but it’s not a slam dunk. I think I’m top 2. Company B has extended an offer but one that I’m not really considering (moving to a new city/not enough money). Do I mention this....
