Where does "personal development & growth" fit in there as a contribution to social learning ? Which I believe is central / mission critical to *learning*.

I am guessing in each of .. modeling, training, conversations, trial & error, coaching, application, mentoring, social networking & professional development.

Ok .. I think I just answered my (probably banal) question or point.

But .. I suspect that it is or can be very useful to remember that an awful lot of learning can come from or accompany personal growth & development, and make us and those with whom we exchange better and more fulfilled learners.

I am also wondering about whether or not *professional* is the ultimate (or top) objective on this journey (though here of course the context is organizational / domain-based work). We'll find out, probably, in the fullness of time as what a profession is and what it means to be *professional* evolves, or not.
