Finding opportunities to learn new skills and build competencies from home is a crucial aspect of staying on top of professional and career development while our work lives continue virtually. While in-person trainings, workshops, and conferences are still accessible online, supplementing some of those opportunities with your own resources, like a regular career podcast or book, can help in your efforts to set goals, stay motivated, and learn new strategies.
Members of our Advisory Board and our Professional Development Committee offer up the books and podcasts they’ve been reading and listening to for professional development at home.
