Personal Development
All professional people, regardless of length of service or seniority, need to acquire (and have refreshed) certain key skills or core capabilities if they are to perform to the required standard. These underpinning skills include the personal resilience and mental toughness associated with stress management and coping with change as well as the more subtle skills of networking, influencing and creativity.
