Resolutions
Resolutions are for those who succumb to peer pressure, right? Or, as Calvin suggests, for those who are perfect and do not need to change. Besides, does anyone really think the flip of a calendar page is going to give them the determination that they've lacked thus far?
According to Time Magazine, the 10 most commonly broken New Year’s Resolutions are: Lose Weight & Get Fit, Quit Smoking, Learn Something New, Eat Healthier & Diet, Get out of Debt & Save Money, Spend More Time with Family, Travel to New Places, Be Less Stressed, Volunteer, Drink Less.
Notice that “Get Trained” is NOT on the list? When you make a New Year’s Resolution to become a better leader by becoming a trained leader, chances are great that you will be successful in your resolve. But you don’t have to do it all alone. We have a great volunteer staff trained and prepared to help you keep your Training Resolution. Click here for training resources.
