A Personal Growth Audit is a structured self-reflection that helps people working in Myanmar's NGO and civil society sector step back from the daily rush of project deadlines, donor reports, and field demands to look honestly at their own professional development. Instead of waiting for an annual appraisal or guessing where you stand, you rate frank statements about how you actually work, learn, relate to others, look after yourself, and connect to a sense of purpose across five domains: self-awareness, skills and learning, relationships and networks, wellbeing and resilience, and purpose and direction.
Score each statement from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree based on your honest reality over the past few months, not the person you hope to be. Your result is a private profile across all five domains, so you can see which areas are already strong and which deserve attention first. Use it as a personal planning tool before a new role or project cycle, as a conversation starter with a manager or mentor, or as a baseline you re-take every six to twelve months to track your own growth. It is for your reflection alone, not a test, an appraisal, or anything your organization sees.

5. I keep my technical and sector knowledge current, for example on safeguarding, MEAL, donor requirements, or my own field of work.
