AWARENESS
Any successful change begins with the Question WHY?
Awareness involves: informing/sharing that a change is happening answering the Why question

Knowledge & Ability are often confused; theory/practice gap dont assume if theory learned that assumes ability in practice
Resisting Factors:
Lack of time to develop skills Lack of support Psychological blocks existing behaviour contrary to desired behaviour Limitations of individual ability Individuals capabilities
Reinforcement
