What resources do you rely on most for professional and personal development?

I read plenty from HBR, The Mind Unleashed, and topics tagged with personal/professional development.

For personal development, I depend a lot on face to face interaction. Since I work in a Senior Assisted living community, it's a melting pot of cultures, ways of thinking, backgrounds, etc. Want a debate? Start a topic with about 5 seniors and 5 staff members and it's on! For the professional end, being a chef, I go to different restaurants all the time, and experiment with different foods. My family are the guinea pigs.

I work in state corrections so what I use there can't really be used at home lol. What I did learn was interpersonal communication. I am always having to use that when taking to my kids. I need to continue using it now more than ever.
