Maximizing CPD: Create a Professional Development Plan

To make the most out of CPD, it is crucial to have a well-defined professional development plan. This plan helps coaches identify areas where they need to focus their time and resources. By having a plan, coaches can seek out free or low-cost resources such as podcasts, articles, and online courses that align with their development goals. Attending conferences can also be valuable, but it's important to choose wisely and ensure that the content aligns with the coach's interests and career advancement. Additionally, coaches can organize their own workshops or networking events as a cost-effective way to learn and connect with other professionals.
