Being a life-long learner who is always working on my personal/professional development, I am always looking for resources to support my efforts, as well as looking for ones that will maximize my time. Also, being a person who likes to connect people with other people and resources that will support them to live more fully, I thought I’d pass on 3 applications that will keep you ‘in the know’ and advance your personal/professional development. These apps are mobile, meaning you can download them for your smartphone or tablet and take them with you wherever you go, so now there are no excuses. Hope you enjoy!
