    • Experience — How do I incorporate my own experience / voice / modality into my professional practice?
    • Progression — How can we as a profession move this work forward in a unified way?
    • Voice — How do we give voice and language to that which we are already doing?
    • Unity — How can we connect with Watson Caring Science colleagues throughout the world; feel part of a movement towards healing and health equity?
