I recently renewed my SPHR certification—60 hours of continuing education that represent more than just staying current. They reflect a deeper commitment to my growth, my clients, and the message I want to share with you today:

You don’t have to start over. But you do need to start moving.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• What it looked like to retake the SPHR exam after a 13-year career break
• Why investing in yourself—certification or not—can build real momentum
• Practical ways to show employers (and yourself) that you're serious about your next chapter

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Staying current builds confidence and credibility
• You don’t need a credential to move forward, but small steps matter
• Professional development is a powerful signal—to yourself and future employers
