How do you get back into 'study'? I last studied anything 25year ago. All my learning has been on the job and working with amazing managers and leaders who have encouraged and taken time to share their knowledge and experience with me.
So how on earth do I now sit down and try and learn these modules! What methods are you using?
I'm excited but very daunted.
Hi everyone

I joined a couple of weeks ago and have started working my way through the Dimensions of Leadership.

Do I just need to scroll down and complete the different sections of 'My Learning Opportunities' further down the page to unlock it or is there an issue?

I follow well-respected people, thought leaders, radical thinkers in the L&M & Coaching fields on Twitter. I also do the same with business topics. This can lead to CPD opportunities.

I used to attend selected face-to-face events. Since COVID, many of those have been discontinued in favour of on-line.

As a small business owner, I... (More)
