Ohio Regional - May 2024 - Saturday Afternoon Session: Change is temporary, transformation is permanent. Once you've transformed, there is no going back. Common Sense is transforming our thinking using three steps. Cognitive understanding is the first level, nothing in my life will change just because I have that knowledge. Step two is linking your heart and head, behavior change is likely but lasting change is not. Level three is lasting change, or transformation. This change has to come from within, or how we see ourselves.
