of the health department staffs. Group leaders asked
the group to brainstorm about their training needs, asking
them specifically to identify “What hangs you up on a
daily basis?” ,“ ”What skills don’t you have that you
wish you had? “, and “What skills do you have that you’d
like to see sharpened?”
