Hi everyone! After many years of consideration, I've decided to pursue and sit for CAP certification this fall. I'm an administrative professional with over 20 years of experience, and I also own my own business. I'm passionate about continuous education, refining my skillset and leadership competencies, and seeking ways to provide exceedingly impactful value to those I partner with. The reason(s) I haven't taken the CAP up to now are basically life - juggling children and life stressors. My kids are now self-sufficient, independent adults and I'm a place where I feel I can focus on achieving this goal. I'm committed to preparing for the exam by being scheduling intentional study time and participating in Marie Herman's CAP Study Group. I have a propensity to procrastinate (I think that would make a great saying for a coffee mug!) but I feel confident with her coaching and the accountability of a study cohort, that I will be well-prepared for the October exam window. I'm looking forward to this journey and accomplishing a long-desired goal. Best of luck to everyone else taking the journey too!

Best of luck in your certification studies

Best wishes on your CAP certification journey.
