S. H. I. F. T.
It has been a long journey but well worth the trip. Starting in January we shot off the starting line fired up in our first gear in this series called S.H.I.F.T. Study talked about the devotion of time and attention to acquiring knowledge on an academic subject, especially through books. In our second gear, we went from Studying to Heeding. Playing close attention to what we have learned. Gear number three taught us how to Implement what we had Studied and Heeded. The fourth geat highlighted the importance of Foster relationships in order to produce maximum results. Our fifth and final gear is Train. Train - teach a particular skill or type of behavior through practice and instruction over a period of time. Now in order to get to this top-end gear, you must have gone through the other four. There are no skipping gears, stripping gear, or jumping gears, you have to go through the other ones. But this gear is the most important in my opinion because it’s the catalyst for helping someone else get started.
