Abstract
This paper seeks to argue that a key characteristic of being a professional is that one is recognized in the public domain by other professionals. If this is so then there are implications for how professionals continue to develop themselves. Though keeping up to date-with knowledge/skill is a necessary ingredient, this is something that can be done individually. Another component is the need to continually engage with other professionals. The paper draws on a variety of case studies involving professional development and concludes with a model which balances the personal and the public domain.
