Finding out what development opportunities fit your lifestyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Suit: You outside the organisation<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gone are the days of waiting for your organisation to approve sending you on a once-yearly stuffy leadership course in beige hotel lobbies with terrible biscuits. These days, development opportunities can take so many forms, it\u2019s actually gone the other way round: there are too many options to choose from. From books to blogs, from podcasts, to online training courses, apps and volunteering opportunities, the sky’s the limit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you pick and choose? Step one should be finding out what your primary focus is. Do you want to develop a specific skill in order to get a promotion? Would you like to be more involved in the community? Is it all about staying abreast of the latest industry news or trends? Do you want to focus on building your technical knowledge on a specific topic of interest? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve mapped out your development plan, find out what format works best for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
