My CAP Goal for 2021 -- How I got here
I have been an Admin Asst and/or HR Admin for the better part of 30 years. For the past several years my bosses have had me research administrative training and certification. I always presented CAP as something I was interested in, but each year the time would go by and I would be informed that it was not in the budget. So early this year, I decided to pursue it on my own. I nicknamed 2021 "The Year of Growth" -- This year I am making an investment in ME ♡ After years and years of focusing on the care of others, this year I have taken on three big goals for myself: (1) For professional growth, I have enrolled in Marie's study group and am committed to taking the CAP certification exam in October, even out of my own pocket. (2) For personal growth, I participated in Wood Badge 135 (a specialized leadership training thru Scouts BSA). (3) For spiritual growth, I have taken on two new roles within the church - including teaching Zoom meeting basics to church staff, committee leaders, and class teachers. I am WAY out of my comfort zone! CAP will be a huge personal accomplishment -- Wish me luck -- its been over 30yrs since I sat for a 4hr exam.

Heather - Best of luck in "The Year of Growth" 2021. The three goals you have identified are fantastic. You will learn a great deal from each goal and the individuals on the receiving end will benefit. "The Year of Growth" is giving a gift of your knowledge and time to folks who want to learn. You should keep a journal on "The Year of Growth" experience.
