S HEPHERD T AYLOR P ARTNERSHIP Some Examples In an ideal world what would be happening around this issue? What’s standing in the way of that ideal outcome? What’s your own responsibility for what’s happening? What are your options? What criteria will you use to judge the options? Which option seems the best one against these criteria? Who else can help you? What other resources do you need? What’s the next step? When will you take it?
