BECOMING AN INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPER

  • Consult the experts (i.e. Gail Cheever)
  • Network with others
  • Decide what you value and your areas of strength
  • Make a plan: finances (fees, expenses, taxes, insurance, travel, copies), record keeping, organization)
  • Design a positive marketing plan (i.e. website, brochure, mission/value)
  • Think of your value added to organization after you leave
  • Bottom line: we are the CEO’s of a servant leadership organization
