Before the course is built
Setup asks about your situation first.
Lesson 1 opens on the moment you describe, and the examples use your role. For this request, expect questions like these.
- Whose opinions weigh most: colleagues, friends, family, strangers, or everyone?
- Does it stop you doing things, or make you regret things you did?
- When did you last do something you wanted despite what others might think?
