What gives you meaning and purpose? • What makes you get up in the morning? • What makes your spirits rise? • What do you fall back on when the chips are down? • What is important to you? • What makes you feel alive?
Our assets as persons and professionals - values • Why did you come into health and social care in the first place? • What was your motivation?
