Prepare for written CTA-O

For our professional growth and development, we need support. An African proverb says, “It takes a village to raise a child.” The same is true for professional development.

Preparing for the CTA-O written exam is more than preparing and writing the paper itself.

In this process, professionals encounter their expectations, uncomfortable and pleasant feelings, obstacles, and dilemmas. We place emphasis on connecting with one’s life energy, hope, identity, developing at the rhythm of one’s own life, and taking into account the developmental path that is already unfolding.

Using our favorite tree metaphor, writing the CTA-O is like becoming aware of the depth of your roots, the stability of your trunk, and the freedom of your branches.
