36. Professional Development: Cringe or Critical?

Happy New Year, co-pilots! Regardless of how your 2023 panned out, we hope you’re feeling energized and excited for 2024! To kick off our first episode of the year, we’re talking about professional development and sharing a few thoughts on preparing for your next step and where you want to go. Whether it’s participating in formal workshops and training programs or drawing insights from books, social media, and podcasts (maybe like ours?), accessible resources are everywhere…and we’re ready to tap in. We explore some of our favorite sources of professional development, the dangers of building your growth around a single job or role, what it means if you’re resistant or uninterested in development opportunities, and why it’s important to know (and be able to articulate) exactly what you bring to the table. Cheers to a fabulous year ahead!
