E-Course Introduction
Congratulations on the start of your journey. This first week will be focused on analysis of current practices.
Coaching is designed to help you go from where you are, to where you want to be. This first step is vitally important to help you find some objectivity on where you are at now, and the changes that must be implemented. Fortunately, you are not on your own in figuring this out. The analysis assignments below will be helpful for you and your team in collectively recognizing a path forward, and then implementing eating changes together.
While some of your additional learning materials are being mailed, we encourage you to get started on the assignments below.
