Goals for 2011

[susan silva]

Did you accomplish any personal or professional goals you had hoped to achieve in 2011?  If so, here is a place to pat yourself on the back and go, I did it!

Looking back at what I wanted to accomplish in 2011 I find I didn't accomplish most of what I wanted.  Economy, just bad luck, a company that is struggling.  It just didn't add up.  For 2012 I may try more "attainable" goals.  Ones that are controlled 100% by me at least.   It is hard to look at what you wanted to accomplish, and feel you have failed.  I hope others had better luck then me this year.

Although I got many things accomplished, I didn't get all of them done. I'm debating about pushing a few through before year end strikes.

when it was made clear that my employers were not going to fund any training/developement in 2011 I embarked on an Open University degree course and have managed to pass enough modules to obtain a certificate in business studies so that was one goal achieved!  some of my other goals fell by the wayside however!

What is Open University?

The Open University was set up as a way for people who had been unable to go to full time university.  You can study for a degree in your own time (so that you are still working) and graduate the same as a 'normal' university student.  I think they run weekend seminars etc, depending on what's being studied.  A lot of older people have done degrees in this way and it's a great idea - needs self discipline though.
