What is PBL?
"To own this work we need to be brave. Having ownership over something can feel scary sometimes. It can make you feel pressured and overwhelmed, like any tiny mistake will mess up everything. You can feel responsible for anything, good or bad. Sometimes having that opportunity to have ownership and feel that way can be scary.
We need to be able to grow comfortable in our individual work. Because ownership is also rewarding. You get to feel like you are valuable. You get the chance to say "I own this" and feel pride in what you've accomplished. When we focus on being empowered instead of scared, we might be able to move forward as a leader."
