Next week webinar: "Chasing your dreams..." by Emma Tillman

 

Date: Tuesday, September 20, 2022

Time: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ET by Zoom

 CPPENA Presents

"Chasing your dreams when you have to resort to Plan B"

Speaker: Emma Tillman, Pharm.D, Ph.D., Indiana University School of Medicine

"Plan A is always my first choice… the one where everything works out, but more often than not, I find myself dealing with the upside-down, inside-out version where nothing goes as it should.

This is where the real test of character comes in. Do I sink or do I swim? Do I wallow in self-pity or simply shift gears and make the best of the situation? The choice is mine.

After all… life is all about how you handle Plan B."

- Suzy Toronto
