Personal development plan (PDP)

In response to Sootyj asking me to post something that has no sexual references I thought I would accept and tried this (cheers sooty)though I think the dialogue needs more work.

INTERNAL - DAY - OFFICE - BRIAN IS SITTING OPPOSITE THE BOSS THEY ARE GOING THROUGH HIS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PDP)

Boss: So the last time we had your PDP meeting we spoke about assertiveness, and how you felt that not being assertive enough is holding you back.

Brian: That's right, I still have a problem with it but I am definitely getting better, my sales have been up since last month, but not as much as I would like.

Boss: Well as long as we have identified the problems we can help you, we do have assertiveness courses you can attend if you think you might need some help.

Brian: I have just got to learn to be more pro active in my approach and raise my voice when I have something to say, I think I am getting there.

Boss: Now there is another matter we briefly touched on last time, and that was your appearance, and I notice that you are now wearing a shirt and tie everyday to work, that is great.

Brian: To be honest boss, I am not really sure if wearing a shirt and tie looks right for this job, but I am willing to give it a go.

Boss: I think you have made great progress, and like we said all you need to work on is your confidence, if you can build that up then you will make a great salesman. Is there anything else you would like to discuss?

Brian: No I am just fine thanks, I think we just about covered it all.

Boss: Great, I will look forward to your next PDP.

BRIAN STANDS UP LEAVES THE ROOM AND EXITS ONTO THE SHOP FLOOR, HE WALKS STRAIGHT THROUGH THE SHOP AND OUT TO THE ENTRANCE, WHERE HE STANDS.

BRIAN SHOUTS

Brian: BIG Issue Big issue, come and get your Big issue
