How is your journey like that of a storyteller? Of a researcher?
 * An Opportunity in Overalls **

What question did you start out to find answer(s) to?


 * What tweaks, edits, modifications have you made to your focus question?
 * What question(s) remain?
 * What new questions have surfaced as a result of your exploration this far?

As a researcher:

What are you measuring?


 * What patterns are surfacing?
 * What themes are emerging?
 * What does your data suggest?

As a learner:


 * Where have you allowed yourself to be vulnerable in this process?
 * How are you allowing yourself, your professional learning to be 'seen'?
 * In what way(s) have you found the courage to be 'imperfect'?
 * What //a-ha!// moments, elements of a 'spiritual awakening'/"breakdown" have you experienced? What might these insights suggested to you?

What story is unfolding from your research?
