The evolution of continuing professional education over the last five decades has been fueled, in large part, by the objective of protecting the public.  As technology advances and society changes, professional education has been responsive to many of those advances and changes.  For example, practice management courses include new ways to streamline a practice by using the most recent technology.  As to societal changes, it may be the CE providers are falling short in meeting the needs of their learners.  After all, societal changes are complicated and scary.

Case-Studies

Over the last year, the #metoo movement has been front and center.  While common sense and professional rules provide some guidance on how to act with coworkers and clients or patients, the rules aren’t enough.  Professionals need case-study based education in this area.  What should the professional do or not do in specific situations?  By using a case-study approach, you provide practical tools that aren’t apparent to well-meaning, but clueless doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc.  Do you provide sexual harassment and sexual discrimination education?

Training in Diversity and Inclusion

In some states, lawyers are required to get training in diversity and inclusion, another sensitive societal issue.  Diversity and inclusion training address the need for diversity within professions, but it also addresses how improved results come from diversity and inclusion.  Today, corporations do not hire law firms without considering the makeup of the law firm.  Further, many corporations in hiring will specifically ask for a diverse legal team.   Do you provide diversity and inclusion education?

Addiction and Mental Health Issues

Addiction and mental health issues impact medical, legal, and financial professionals.   High-pressure practices with life and death consequences result in many professionals needing help.  Providing programming (online and confidential) is often a first step in having a professional start to deal with a problem.  Training others to recognize addiction or mental health problems in their peers and providing tools on how to respond to those problems could save lives and certainly protect the public.  Unfortunately, addiction and mental health issues in professionals result in consequences like a discipline office prosecuting a professional for failure to adequately treat or represent a patient or client.  Do you provide addiction and mental health programming?

Final Thoughts

There are many other societal issues where training could help professionals:  Non-English speakers, incapacity, low-income clients and patients.  If you can’t provide programming, for whatever reason, take a little time and check out the InReach Sharing Network.  Your InReach peers may have already developed the programming you need in these areas.  Let’s make the world a little better.

New Year!  Same Great Service!

Over the years I’ve learned the art of making a New Year’s resolution.  Rather than have a list of many, unattainable goals, I’ve decided to have only one resolution a year, and the resolution must be attainable.  Since I’ve taken that approach there have been no resolutions regarding weight loss or cursing less.  Obviously.

Successful resolutions have included (mind you only one resolution a year):  Drink more wine.  Buy maple syrup and not that sugary stuff they call pancake syrup.  Eat less beef.  Read more.  This year’s resolution:  send more cards and letters using snail mail.  So far, I have kept doing the previous years’ resolutions as I add a single new resolution a year.

This approach in resolving or even getting things done is a principle I live by and a principle I urge InReachers to embrace.  (You knew I had to get to InReach.  There’s some stupid rule about blogs can’t be all about me.)

Here’s the deal.  Most of our clients don’t know what services we offer, much less take advantage of these services.  I challenge you to resolve requesting one of the following services in 2025.  If you need accountability, email us with the service you have resolved to use.  My guess is that you’ll be satisfied and wonder, “Why didn’t I ask for XXXX before, and gosh darn, I’m going to resolve to add another service next year.”

This New Year-Just ask for it:

• Demonstration of a new delivery type that you don’t currently use.
• Presentation of an annual business review.
• Evaluation of your CE product pricing.
• Assistance in identifying sharing network courses that will fill in gaps in your catalog.
• Review of your contact center statistics and discussion of takeaways.
• Audit of how your organization’s website provides navigation to your online CE catalog.
• Demonstration of the InReach front and/or back end.
• Assessment of your automatic notifications.
• Analysis of your Frequently Asked Questions.
• Critique (in the nicest way) of quality of your program recording.
• Assistance in selecting new images to use in your catalog.
• Help, depending on catalog design, in using your catalog home page to promote a product or bundle in your catalog.
• Analysis of your catalog google analytics with instructions, so you can do it yourself.

If there is something you want or need that isn’t on this list.  Ask anyway.  We resolve to help you the best we can!
