In preparing my 2015 CPD list and statement for revalidation I’ve been looking back over my professional goals for 2015, and am pleased to note that I didn’t actually do too badly at achieving them. (I also managed to log over 120 hours of CPD activities, and I’m quite sure that isn’t actually the full total – no wonder I never seem to have any free time!) Continue reading

Having just submitted my Chartership revalidation for 2014 I wanted to take advantage of the reflections this inspired and make a note of my professional goals for 2015. Continue reading



CPD 2013

I’ve just been adding my 2013 CPD activities to my portfolio space on the CILIP VLE, and I was pleased to note that I racked up 37 hours. This doesn’t take into account a couple of events which I didn’t write up and don’t remember enough about now; at least 4 hours reading ILIG Focus and 12 hours reading Update, which I didn’t log (though I may this year); plus easily another 20+ hours (also not logged) of SLA committee meetings and associated tasks – and I thought it had been a fairly quiet year on the CPD front!

My first professionally significant action of 2013 was to take a deep breath and press send on the email carrying my chartership portfolio to CILIP for assessment. Now that it’s all over (at least for the time being), I wanted to set down a few thoughts on the process and its benefits. Continue reading

The idea behind #chapowrimo (aka Chartership Portfolio Writing Month) was a simple one – commit to doing a defined amount of work on your Chartership portfolio throughout the month of November. Continue reading



Planning, prevarication and seeing the bigger picture

I’ve recently been reflecting upon my event planning and management skills, in part prompted by some work I’ve been doing on my Chartership portfolio. I’m still trying to straighten out my thoughts so this post will probably be more rambling than usual, but if you can bear with me please do, and I’d really appreciate any advice you care to offer.

#chapowrimo

On twitter a little earlier today the ever-brilliant Helen Murphy coined the expression #chapowrimo, or Chartership Portfolio Writing Month. Based on the daily commitment to producing a certain wordcount espoused by participants in NaNoWriMo, this idea leapt off the screen at me as a great way to overcome my portfolio-finishing block.
