If any of these pieces is missing, the chance of change happening is diminished. For example: If one has the skills and supports and not enough time, progress will be difficult. If one is clear what needs to happen next and is not willing to risk, moving ahead will be challenging.

Great article. Could we have permission to include it in The Peer Bulletin Magazine? We’d provide proper citation, along with the author bio, photo and contact details as well as a link to the LPC.
Cheers.
