Personal and Professional Development are not an event, but a journey. We can never say, "We're done!" There is always something to learn for those with an open and enquiring mind. Don't leave your development to chance and other people's agendas. It's one of your most important assetts and something you are definitely and infinitely in control of. Take charge and consciously plot your own growth.

• Plan your professional and personal development for the year.
• Put in the rocks – key events that you really want to attend or achieve.
• Plan your own year, and do the same for your team and your businmess or organisation – goals, action plans – start the year with a clear idea of where you’re going.
