What to do for professional development?
-
What are some of the things you've done that have been really helpful for you professionally, other than church music conferences? I need to use up my study leave by the end of the year, and I'm trying to find something both creative and useful to do. (Tai chi workshop? Live in a monastery for a day? Seminar on handling grumpy parishioners?)

This may sound cliche, but go on a silent retreat. That will help you a great deal professionally and spiritually every year. It seems harder every year to find quiet!Thanked by 1francis

Hmmm! I haven't had a Sunday off in around 8 years. Will have to think about professional development.
