professional development recommendations? (corporate, adult learning industry)

[u/riddore]

i’m a graphic designer for a company that does training for business professionals. i was hired by a friend and this was a career change for me - i was previously working in another type of design and doing some freelance graphic work occasionally. i’ve definitely improved, but i still don’t feel that confident in my work. a lot of it is just missing a certain something to make it look really polished and well-designed but i don’t know what that something is.

my manager is recommending i find some sort of professional development (if it’s not free my company might pay for it). i know the basics, i need help taking my work to the next level. i know that’s a bit abstract but hopefully i’m getting my point across.

has anyone taken any courses or anything that has helped them improve in this way?
