  22. Lessons Learned Health policy is not linear. It is an opportunistic process. Be ready to act fast! “If everything in under control, you are going too slow!” “…never look down at the whirlpools below, focus on a fixed point at eye level and keep moving.” Catherine Gildiner – too close to the falls

  23. There must be time to learn through play! BUT RESPECT PRIVACY!
