Reflection
- What dreams do you believe you need to stick with? Which ones should you let go?
- Do you think linking passion, skill and mission can help you realize a bigger, bolder dream?
- How could a mentor help you? Would they be able to advise how and when and if to act on a 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.
