How often do you actually stop and think about how you learn?
Not what you’re learning, or what’s on your to-do list for CPD. But how you learn. What works for you. What you’re ignoring. Who you’re learning from – and who you’ve lost touch with.
As people development professionals, we spend our working lives helping others grow. But when did you last deliberately invest that same energy in yourself?
The Free Spirits Learning Safari is a five day reflection workbook built specifically for freelancers and self-employed people development professionals. It takes you on a journey through your own learning habits, your invisible CPD, your learning relationships, and your next big experiment – finishing with a proper chance to reflect, commit, and move forward.
We originally created it for Learning at Work Week 2026, but this is an activity you can come back to any time. In fact, we’d recommend revisiting it every six months or so. Your learning habits change, your network shifts, your business evolves. What you discover about yourself today might look very different in six months’ time.
Here’s what’s inside:
- Day 1 – Base Camp: How do you actually learn?
- Day 2 – Into the Undergrowth: Your invisible CPD log
- Day 3 – The Watering Hole: Who do you learn with?
- Day 4 – The Lookout: Design your learning experiment
- Day 5 – Sundown: Reflect, commit, move forward
It’s a short, editable PDF – no printing needed, just fill it in straight in your browser and save as you go. Dip in and out across a week, or set aside an hour and do it all in one go. There’s no wrong way to do it.
