This training activity takes people through an audit of their current skills, abilities and knowledge to set a firm foundation for the later CPD activities. Participants work in pairs to review significant events and elicit from these the skills that people deployed in getting good results. The training activity arrives at an answer to the important question ‘Where are you now?’
Participants work in mutual mentoring pairs and each defines: successes they have had at work; difficult tasks which form part of their current role; and achievements that they are proud of. Working from these events, they assist one another to: explore each of the situations; identify the skills and knowledge that they used to achieve results in each case; write these on a form as a record of the person’s skill set; and decide what this means for the future. The training activity ends with a brief discussion, in the full group, of the points which have emerged in the pair discussions.

Participants work in pairs to review significant events and elicit from these the skills that people deployed in getting good results.

Purpose: This is the first of a series of five linked activities, ‘Auditing your assets’, You’re your objectives’, ‘Plan your route’, ‘Learn in your own way’, and ‘Record to prove it’, which together describe and practise the first five stages of the CPD process as set out in ‘The basics of your CPD’. The sixth stage, ‘Keep learning actively’, does not need a separate defining activity. It is one of two alternative training activities available in ‘Continuing Professional Development’ which aim to establish a baseline for people’s CPD programmes; the other is ‘My Survival Toolkit’, which is linked to ‘The Survivor’s Toolkit’. The current training activity can be run in isolation at any point when you want to start a group off on the CPD process. It is preferable to precede it with both involvement activities and support activities so that people can mentor one another effectively.
