- Do you think linking passion, skill and mission can help you realize a bigger, bolder dream?

- How might you solicit feedback that actually helps? Do you know how to separate helpful help from unhelpful help?
- Check-in with yourself and your classmate next to you. How are you doing? This hasn’t been an easy class.
