It’s important to note that we will be gauging progress based upon visible, verifiable and meaningful changes and not merely on public or private statements. Please keep discussions focused on positive changes for the future rather then just rehashing mistakes of the past. I want them to feel confident that positive change will have a positive effect.
That is exactly the same impression I came away with.
I liked what I heard, but I need proof to really believe it.
As usual, the professor hits the nail on the head.
