It followed on from her learning more about Continuous Professional Development (CPD) in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxoC6481WcU" target="_blank">video we made</a>. When she revealed she was a fan of Ted Talks, a variety of people chipped in and shared their favourite clips.</p>
<p>It demonstrates how powerful a conversation can be in contributing to our development. Social media platforms put spontaneous and powerful conversations like this within easy reach making a good case for the benefits of social media when it comes to CPD. This is one of the many times we've seen the <a href="https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23lovecpd&src=typd" target="_blank">#LOVECPD hashtag</a> used by people to discuss as well as share knowledge and resources to help each other learn.</p>
<p>Check out the conversation along with some of the Ted Talks that were shared in the curated slideshow below which we'll keep updated as more come in. </p>
<p>If you're on Twitter, do join in with these CPD conversations by including <a href="https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23lovecpd&src=typd" target="_blank">#LOVECPD</a> in your Tweet and if you're not on Twitter, maybe here's a good reason to get started.</p>
