Overview of the three optional tools to help you prepare your statement

Since we only have a short time together, I want to focus on the parts of the framework that will have the greatest impact on your ability to put this information to use immediately. With this in mind, I ask that you come to the presentation with a written statement of the strategy you’ll be working during our time together. It has been my experience that those who come compared with their strategy written down, instead of thinking of one on the spot, receive more value from this experience. I’ve made a couple of resources available that you may find helpful as you prepare:
1. There is the one page quick reference sheet that provides an example of strategy and a yellow highlighted space for you to write your strategy.
2. Below is an expanded article with more details about how to prepare your strategy statement for the workshop.
3. Below is also a high-level overview infographic of the steps to create your written stratey statement for the workshop.
