Accidental repost.  Feel free to delete.

[one piece at a time]

Read academic papers (or just conference papers) in your field
Write papers, even if they don't get approved for publication
Write project close out reports
Write project definitions to get sign off
Focus on quality of work rather than quantity
Maintain your own training records (scan in the random certificates and course descriptions you get)

...avoid any leadership or management training ;)
