2025 – A Reflection: CHAMP, CIPSA, RMP, PfMP Success Stories and A Wide Range of Publications


As 2025 draws to a close, 2026 rises before us as a new dawn. 

Looking back, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction in seeing so many of you succeed—not only in earning your desired certifications, but also in carrying that knowledge forward into your careers and professions. 

Your dedication has not only led to the successful completion of certifications but has also translated into something far more enduring - the ability to carry that knowledge into your professions and your daily lives. 

These achievements are not mere credentials on paper, but they are also living proof of your passion, determination, resilience, and commitment. I have witnessed your journeys, and I acknowledge them in this post.

A few highlights are shared below.
