6 How Do I Start Observe Ask Act Create Champions How Do I Start: OBSERVE Observe- To become aware of, especially through careful and directed attention; notice. Use what you learn today to look at people and how they work. You are going to find something that can be corrected in everyone. 6

7 How Do I Start : ASK Ask yourself how you feel each day. How does my workstation differ from those around me. Just because you don t feel anything, doesn t mean others won t/don t have discomfort or even pain. Ask others if they have soreness or discomfort. Match the location of discomfort with the activity. How Do I Start: ACT Act- If there is a need for change. Make the changes you are able to make. 7

8 How Do I Start: CREATE CHAMPIONS Create Champions- Anything from A champion to ALL champions. Make it fun. INTERMISSION 8
