Editor's Notes
- This is a useful exercise for getting the researchers to think about their own development in its totality, encourages them to see a bigger and more realistic picture. It is worth mention by the trainer that this areas may change over time.
- When I’m at my best. On your good days, when you are on top of your “game”, what elements or support structures are in place when you are most effective? What to you need to work to the limit of your potential?
- Achievements can be literally anything, from graduating as an undergrad to the first time you rode a bike. The aim of this exercise is to remind the researchers how it felt to achieve something that was difficult or hard earned and how they felt when they reached their goal.
