Completing this personal narrative gives you the opportunity to think about what happened in the process of completing your PoE in the workplace (gathering workplace evidence and conducting workplace assessments). Please explain any example that you list as meeting the CCFO in detail as we need to understand your explanation in order to determine whether or not you have met the portfolio requirements by understanding and displaying the Critical Cross-Field Outcomes behaviour in your workplace.
