Do you set New Year’s resolutions? I don’t.
I stopped years ago. I was often
disappointed with myself in breaking the resolution by the middle of
January. I suppose some could say that
perhaps I was setting resolutions that were not realistic, and I will admit
there is some truth to that. I suppose with
me being a sugarholic, setting a resolution that has me giving up sugar could
be something that leads to disaster…
Now that we’ve hit mid-January I wonder how many of you have broken your
resolution.
One resolution I never break is trying to capitalize on any
opportunity I have for educational opportunities. The Webber Training teleclasses are a great
example as I can join in from wherever I am; and if I miss the teleclass the
day of a recording, then the presentation is available for me to download and
listen to at my convenience. As noted in
past blogs, the Teleclass Education by Webber Training
is an international lecture series on topics related to infection prevention
and control. The objective is to bring the best possible education to the
widest possible audience with the fewest possible barriers when trying to
access it. Here's the list of teleclasses for the first quarter of 2017.
