The Positive Professional Development Series

Explosion of positive energy

What would happen if we looked at professional development as an asset-based, positive activity? What if, instead of looking for professional development based on what we lack, we approached it as a way to build upon our strengths, to grow and expand? What if we looked at how to create the most supportive and inspirational development environment for ourselves so that we found ways to have more of what we want and need to grow personally and professionally? What if professional development came from inspiration, not desperation? 

In this series, I focus on how to engage in positive professional development that helps us build our skills based on our strengths and talents to fulfill our longer-term career goals.
