061: Earning Your Annual Continuing Professional Education Credits

This week, I am talking about developing your plan for earning continuing professional education credits. Continual learning in the Finance and Accounting fields is essential to developing your expertise and establishing your credibility. Ensure you approach earning your annual CPEs by planning them out and adding them to your Individual Development Plan. I want to encourage you to be proactive and not wait until it’s time to recertify and renew to earn CPEs, which usually forces you to scramble to earn them on time.

During the episode, I use the following outline:

1. Earning a professional certification is key to your professional foundation,
2. You need a plan to earn your credits, and
3. Here are some sites where you can earn your annual credits.
