Unsure what skills you need to develop?
Create a skills matrix to pin-point the areas that you may need to improve.
How to create a skills matrix:
- Fill in the matrix by plotting the 22 IDF categories according to your ability and interest for each one.
- You can add in your own categories or replace the ones we've created with more exact labels.
- Think about: strengths that others have praised you for, experiences/activities/hobbies you enjoy(ed), skills you have been motivated to teach yourself, skills you admire and would like to acquire.
- Once you have placed all the categories according to your interest and ability, circle or highlight the top 5 items that are very important for your success and/or well-being.
- For each of the quadrants, think about how your importance ratings factor in as you consider which categories you want to focus on for your annual priorities and goals.
