Develop professionally?

Dear All,

1) In the following sentence, is the underlined part correct?

In the past seven months I haven't felt that I have developed professionally in any way.

I'd normally assume that we have an adverbial form there but for some reason it sounds a bit odd to my ear.

2) Is it OK to skip of in the following sentence?

I haven't had enough of professional development recently.

Thanks

Thanks.

Would you say then that there's nothing incorrect about that sentence?
