Looking Back and Measuring Your Growth

When you began this Guide, you reflected on your work practices, completed a baseline assessment and identified areas that required attention.

This End-of-Guide Assessment invites you to consider where you are now.

As you respond, think about the extent to which your understanding, attitudes and practices have changed as a result of the lessons explored throughout the Guide.

Respond according to your current experience while reflecting on where you believe you stood when you first began reading the Guide.
