Create a dilemma with proper tension or dissonance with which associates can identify, then using one sentence, describe the challenge for each of the key characters.
Questions to help you create dissonance:
- How can I build a sense of concern, conflict, or suspense?
- Will my associates be able to visualize the challenge the same way I do?
- Will the dilemma create enough dissonance associates will desire a resolution?

The climax is a resolution used as a tool for insight and should clearly fit the challenge and carry the associates to new and unexpected directions.
Ask yourself:
- Will the ending surprise, amuse, inspire, challenge, or amaze my associates?
- Will associates view the ending as relevant and important?
- Will associates gain new attitudes, understandings, or skills from the resolution?

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
