The past few weeks have been a bit stressful for me because I've added onto my normal load - work, church, home/family, and Evening Song - some opportunities to obtain certification and training. Most recently I completed a weeklong training from the Disaster Recovery Institute on Business Continuity Planning (BCP). This training was focused on professionals who coordinate, plan, and execute the processes to enable an organization to survive and recover in the event of a disaster (flood, tornado, hurricane, etc...).
Why did I take this training? Protiviti has a suite of services to assist organizations in assessing and planning their BCP program. Since I am still young in my career, and interested in these services, I thought I should gain some training so I could potentially be staffed on a Business Continuity project. This was a really nice thought while the Dallas office had a recognized expert in BCP. Recently that person decided to leave Protiviti, leaving me confused and bewildered as to whether I should still pursue this avenue.
Well, I completed the training and took a long exam. Hopefully I pass, but if not, I'm not sure it's a total loss. At least I was able to get a week off from project work and study for my other exam coming up June 10. More on that later.

People are often hesitant to work with a business coach because they are not sure what to expect. Well, at the most basic level, the coach is there for support. A coach never tells you what to do. They just prompt and encourage.
