The Importance of CPD Soft Skills Programmes
Continuing Professional Development
When I started my working life waaaay back in the 1960s, the overall workplace ethos was ‘just do the job’.
For the most part, people’s own development both professionally and personally was a bit hit or miss.
当然，曾经有（现在仍然有）职业，人们必须接受培训，以保持他们的职业标准。
Yet largely any other kind of training wasn’t considered important or wasn’t even considered at all.
事情发生了怎样的变化，人们真正认识到，作为一个人，你是谁和你做什么一样重要。
That recognition comes from both employers and employees.
When I was young, I thought that personal development was my responsibility alone and nothing to do with work.
回顾过去，我可以看到某些软技能培训对我的工作生活有多大的帮助，如果我的雇主也看到了这一点，那意味着什么。
I had some fabulous jobs before Robin and I founded Impact Factory more than 27 years ago, but not one of those jobs offered me any training at all, so I took it upon myself to find courses that would support my own growth both personally and professionally.
再说一次，在那些年前，我们还没有像今天这样美味的自助餐——我们真的被宠坏了！
Attitudes towards working life have changed considerably as well and there is an appreciation that if people are going to be spending a huge chunk of their lives at work, then work needs to give them more; needs to see them as whole beings; needs to support them in ways never considered before.
持续的专业发展意味着你要跟上行业的变化，扩大你的知识基础，为你的客户和同事提供最高水平的专业精神。
持续的个人发展意味着学习人际交往技巧，帮助你成为别人想要的人。
通过专注于你的软技能，你生活的每一部分都会受到影响和增强，你的自信也会突飞猛进地增长。
Bring the two together and this is what Impact Factory means by Continuing Professional Personal Development and it has been a cornerstone of our work since we began.
它关系到整个人，而不仅仅是工人，当人们在个人生活中也能运用新的技能时，它能带来多大的不同。
这就是为什么持续发展是必要的。
我们不应该在人生的某个时刻说：
“就这样，我已经学完了新东西，学到了新东西更大的了解自己，洞察自己的感受、思考和行为方式。”
Life-long learning means just that.
既然我们确实在工作中花费了那么多时间，那么，如果我们提高所有技能，让我们的职业环境成为我们期待的地方，与同事互动，感受到一个组织中有价值的一部分，那该有多好呢。
Those organisations that do respect the individual are usually the ones that invest in their people’s progress because they know how essential it is.
Because we have moved so radically from a world where people could have jobs for life to one where job satisfaction is a major deciding factor in how long people stay with an organisation, supporting, encouraging and facilitating development is vital.
