Reflective Professional Development

Reflective Professional Development provides an opportunity to talk with a fellow professional who can see your issues from an uninvolved perspective and support you to look more objectively at the way you relate to your work environment and those you work with.

Because everything you talk about is confidential, you're able to be completely honest without it affecting your position in the community, or your role and relationships within the workplace.

How Reflective Professional Development can help

Using Reflective Professional Development means you want to grow your level of 'response-ability' to ensure your work relationships and your attitude toward your role remains balanced and healthy

You may be in a position of influence or care which requires that you continually reflect on how you use and carry out your role. Developing your capacity to reflect supports you to review decisions you've made, interactions you've had and things you've thought about from a wider perspective. This process of reflection encourages a robustness which supports you to improve and grow, both professionally and personally.
