| I invite guided self-reflection, helping learners to recognize their strengths, build on what they know and identify areas where they hope to learn and grow. I believe that everyone is capable of growth and change, we can all move forward from where we are in any given moment. It is important to state our hoped-for outcomes - so that we are clear about where we're headed; and equally important to create manageable steps for how we plan to move toward the goal. |
