Journal Reflection

Take a moment to write honestly about where you are right now. There are no right or wrong answers—this is simply your starting point for the Evolve journey. Tracking your progress through this course—and throughout the entire Evolve Program—helps you see how much you’ve grown along the way.

You can download the PDF if you’d like to write these reflections out by hand, or you can record your answers in a personal journal.
