HAVE DRUGS STOPPED WORKING?

HAS COMPLACENCY BECOME PARALYSIS?

IS A SILVER MEDAL LOSING?

 

You may need PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

 

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT with Little Lord is an untrained/unauthorized community-built self-help seminar for those seeking "development" in early midlife and beyond. 

 

In a return to public performance after an extended pandemic pause, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT explores themes of self-actualization, soft skills, pop psychology, and body betrayal. Built through exercises from self-help books and cassette tapes, game shows, Clown Ministry how-to guides, corporate soft skills webinars, and more, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT asks: Are we back? Is this anything? Does this help?

 

Note: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT requires no outwardly active audience participation – but we do encourage you to do that internal work on your own.
