“Deciding to sit for the CLFP Exam was a multifaceted decision rooted in both personal and professional growth. Having been in the industry for over 20 years and having fulfilled various roles, why even decide to do this? I saw the CLFP as an opportunity to challenge myself and assess how much my industry knowledge had evolved over time. The process was a chance to broaden my professional network, offering me a platform to engage and exchange ideas with a diverse group of industry professionals,” Pattani said. “Beyond personal assessment, it was a crucial to understand the value that CLFP certification holds for our team and understand the demands so that I can provide them the required support. How was my experience? It was like deciding to run a marathon after a 20-year hiatus from jogging (and yes, it’s been that long since I have done any meaningful jogging). It was exciting, terrifying, and left everyone around me, including myself, wondering what on earth I was thinking. Now that I have come out on the other end, I can’t want to sit another test. Was it worth it? Yes! I will be encouraging my team to participate in the academy as part of a cohort. It will be a valuable opportunity for them to learn from one another and strengthen their collective knowledge.”
