Summary Instructions:
Discuss these questions with a partner.
- In which area did you find you have the
most abilities you want to develop further?
- In that area, what work or hobby do you
see yourself doing in the future?
- How can others be of assistance to you as
you work toward your goals?
- How are your partner’s goals similar or
different from your own?
- Are there ways you can support each other as you work toward your goals?
