Making CPD Count
Sunday Sep 20th: Main Theatre
11:30 – 12:10
12:15 – 12:55
These two linked workshops, lead by Andy Hosgood – Business Coach, Mentor and Founder of Unlock, will take you on a journey from reflection to real-world action. In the first session, you’ll use powerful reflective tools—timelines, esteem curves, and guided journaling—to uncover the key moments, emotions, and insights that shaped your conference experience. In the second, you’ll turn those insights into impact by building an emotionally intelligent action plan, setting commitments, and creating accountability for the weeks ahead. Together, these sessions ensure your learning doesn’t end when the conference does. You’ll leave not only clearer on what you’ve gained, but also equipped with the confidence, strategies, and structures to embed change in your everyday practice and leadership.
Three key principles you’ll take away:
✨ Transform reflection into meaningful growth and leadership.
🍲 Design an action plan that turns CPD into lasting impact.
💛 Leave with confidence, clarity, and commitments that stick.
