How involved are you with your professional body?
Although I am not currently working as a lawyer, I maintain membership of my professional body - the Law Institute of Victoria, where I sit on 2 committees. I find this is a great way not only to stay in touch with the profession (my potential clients) but also to keep up to date with legal developments and issues.
Are you a member of a professional body? How involved are you? Do you attend events, sit on a committee, contribute to their publication?
Such a relevant question, @Rebecca Carroll-Bell ! I am a member of a business analyst professional body and I haven't been active at all! I hadn't even thought about contributing to their publication or attending events to network.
What are some success stories you've gathered over the years about meeting clients in this way?
What were some important updates about the industry you would have missed had you not been actively engaged?
What I think mostly holds me back from actively participating in a professional body is the many hats I use in my work: coach, Istagram consultant, community manager, training & development facilitator. I wonder how other folks here are dealing with "professional identity" crisis!
@Leo Eliades @Sandy Archer and @Lisa Creffield , how does it work from where you are sitting in the coaching industry? What is your invovelment with professional bodies, and how does it serve you and your business?
