Key Question • What do professionals look for in their careers today?
What Everybody Knows… • Learning & development • Challenging work • Work-personal balance • Quality relationship with their leader • $ only matters when the above are not met
What Are The Risks? • Learning is critically important • Prevents loss of knowledge • Increases satisfaction & cross-functional capability
Let’s Consider Your Learning Take some time to reflect on past learning events in which you: • Enjoyed yourself and leaned a great deal • Did not enjoy yourself and learned a great deal • Enjoyed yourself and learned little • Did not enjoy yourself and learned little
Reflect & Share on the Learning • What was the content? • Was it enjoyable, difficult? • Was it relevant, applicable? • Was it voluntary or involuntary? • Was there practice opportunity? • Was there opportunity for feedback? What approaches have worked best for you?
Professional Development Assessment • Please take a few minutes to complete the informal checklist to assess your learning and development
What’s next for you? • Take a moment to plan one new professional development activity that you can start doing!
