Hi - I'm posting this here instead of work because I think it will apply more to school kids than most adults.

My company's work plan includes feedback on how well my behavior helps or hurts my work "family". Every year I get a report with examples and ideas.

Then I read it, pick what items I'd most like to work on, take a few days to think about them, and meet with my boss to develope a plan.

This year It looks like:

fine tuning assertiveness vs low self esteame (I'm either over or under shooting and need a new damping algorythm)

Developing the skills to sell my ideas to groups. I have a job history of sucessful ideas but need to start presenting them myself

I need to work on focus. I can take on a lot of stuff - more than most but the small details fall through the cracks so either need to work on delegation or detail skills.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.


PS the company I work for has someone with an aspie family memember on the board of directors and is generally a good place for as folks so this is a tune up not an on the carpet type thing.

I wish my last job could have been like that. What could you use our help with?

Hi again - here are my development goals for the year based on my boss:

1) Learn to identify what question people ask and how they will use the answers. Apparently people ask if we (my research group) can do something and others if we think it is a good idea and think they are asking the same questions. This leads me to give different answers.

2) Learn to act with self confidence. Work has assigned a coach and given me books with examples to follow.

3) Improve influencing skills and leadership. I am being sent to a special GE training camp for this

Apparently I have so far been meeting or exceeding my goals for anger management, organized behavior, work output and am ranked in the to 10% of employees --- but to get promoted I need these new skills
