Talent(s) + Target(s) =Vocation

As we walk around campus, use your senses, power of observation, & the UN SDGs to identify five or more potential issues you observe in the community. What do you observe? What are you wondering?

 

 

3: Active Listening
& Reflective Questioning

 

 

4: Root Cause & Needs Analysis

The deepest-level cause of a problem is called the root cause: The root cause is “the why at the bottom” that sets in motion the entire cause-and-effect chain causing the problem(s). It’s important to involve the local community in both the root cause analysis and then in a needs analysis to personalize and outline next steps.
