I'm planning to offer my team the option of getting their six sigma black belt this year, cost covered by the company. There are a lot of avenues to getting certified but I want to offer something that is accredited and legit. Curious if anyone shed any insight or recommendations?

I feel bad because I love my teams and they are the best mentors but this field is just not for me. Should I stick it through 4 projects I know the need me on for another busy season or leave.

I recently tried quitting everything last Sunday, with drew all last week and then relapsed Friday, Saturday and Sunday worst withdrawals I ever had (cold sweats, shaking, wasn’t sure I would survive). I’m through the worst of it now but any advice? Thought about rehab but can’t stop work. This is probably my 9th time trying to go sober during the pandemic.
