The private victory

• What am I doing to contribute to this?• How did my behaviours and actions move us

closer to our goal? Move us further away?• How will others have perceived this?• What assumptions am I making?• What do I need to consider for the next stages

of our change?

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are

challenged to change ourselves Victor Frankl
