This weekend I had the opportunity to travel to Philadelphia and participate in the National Wellness Institute's Certified Worksite Wellness Specialist training and certification course. We made this a family weekend - husband and the girls played tourist while I was in class - and we met up in the evening for dinner and a nice walk in Center City.
I found the course very valuable, especially because it started some creative thinking and I have exciting new ideas for our programs here at JFA. It also reinforced what I have learned during the past 4 years at JFAHELP and reaffirmed that we are leaders in worksite wellness! Of course, as I am forever the student, there is room to grow in this ever evolving field and classes like this one will allow me to do just that.
So what did the family do? On Saturday they went to the Academy of Natural Sciences Museum so that my 5 year old could see dinosaur bones as she politely requested. On Sunday they went to the Franklin Institute so that my husband could see the planetarium. A good time was had by all and the weekend was educational for each of us!
In case you were wondering... I passed the exam.
The JFA Worksite Wellness Team shares stories, tips and information about living well, or doing the best they can, while balancing life and working as worksite wellness professionals.
