“While our ability to learn is accepted, our willingness to learn is a choice.”
To undertake a journey of lifelong learning provides endless opportunities for ongoing personal and professional development.
Professional development and continuing education opportunities can expose you to new ideas, enhance your knowledge, and increase your competencies. Those who actively seek out these learning opportunities are those who will benefit most from them.
Professional development and continuing education offer opportunities to boost your earning potential and future employability.
Many professional development opportunities such as workshops, conferences, and networking events allow you to meet other people within your profession or industry who may assist you with career opportunities in the future.
In addition to the professional development courses which allow you to build upon existing knowledge and skills, consider other elements of self-improvement, which have direct impact upon both personal and professional success.
During this month of May, try the daily exercises shared by Greater Good Magazine in their Happiness Calendar.
It’s an uplifting tool and valuable resource to complement any self-improvement focus you may choose. Their daily activities range from ‘Be Humble at Work’ (May 6) to ‘Step up as a Leader (May 24).
My personal favourite is May 28th. I can’t wait.
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
