Practical approaches to Continuous Professional Development
11 November, London
* Lifelong learning explained
Who would disagree that we should all be lifelong learners?
As professionals, shouldn't we all be continuously developing?
The trouble is, its not easy, as anyone who has tried has found out, and
this participative workshop accepts that getting better at what we do is
a difficult process, and gives you a chance to explore the most
personally significant issues that will determine just how good you can
be.
Target more accurately your limited time and effort to meeting these
needs.
How will this workshop help you?
For perhaps the first time, you will be given the time and space,
amongst others with the same interest, to raise and work upon issues
that will help you put some structure to genuinely managing you own
development.
Apply what you learn during the day and you will be able to:
* Identify specifically your priority development needs.
* Target more accurately limited time money and effort to meeting
these needs.
* Turn your development into a more planned, conscious, less
haphazard, accidental process.
* Make good use of a better understanding of how you team.
* Take control of your professional development, lessening
dependence on others.
In advance of the workshop
In order to get the most from the day you will need to find an hour
before we meet to complete two warm up activities.
Who will benefit from taking part?
Anyone who takes their own development seriously, and would like some
help in confronting the barriers and making the most of particularly the
everyday opportunities that real life provides for this.
