Question for other professionals:
How do you *genuinely* identify your own learning and development needs?
Not in a box-ticking sort of a way - actual, genuine, "this would be useful", development. Stuff that it is worth spending your time on.
(I have no colleagues. I've asked clients for feedback, specifically what I can do better, or things they'd like me to do differently, or things that they have valued in other professional advisors, and I have turned up nothing.)

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk I've always gone with what interests me - and once I have acquired skills in the area I then either push myself into such a role with an existing employer/customer or go find someone new who has that need.

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk for the past forty years it’s been; What’s the end result I want and do I already have the skills? If not, what additional knowledge do I need to acquire? What tools, libraries, language might provide the path to give me what I’m after. Then go do that. Every single formally organised course in this period has had the other participants asking “why aren’t you teaching this?”
