(C) Competent – I have a good understanding and can work in situations of moderate difficulty without support or coaching from others
(P) Mastery – I have a well-developed understanding and could work in difficult situations with minimal support and coaching from others
3.

Then review the list a second time considering only the competencies you have checked/circled as C or P and identify and list the three competencies you believe to be your greatest assets/strengths.
