Stepping Up

START WHERE YOU ARE

USE WHAT YOU HAVE

DO WHAT YOU CAN

...

IT'S NOT MY JOB. IT'S NOT MY FAULT

There are two kinds of people in the world:

Those who make things happen, Those who complain about what's happening

Adapt rather than blame

Banish victim thinking

Challenge fixed mindset

...

I AM ONLY ONE PERSON

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world.

Focus on important matters

Aggregate influence

Question your hesitation

...

ONLY NAIVE PEOPLE CHANGE THE WORLD

Not much happens without a dream. 

A dream is never enough but for something good to happen, the dream must be there first.

Challenge assumptions

Disregard the voice

Remind yourself

...

100% RESPONSIBILITY / NO EXCUSES

There are always constraints. The question is what you will do in spite of them.

Determine your part

Don't make excuses

Work through adversity

...

DO SOMETHING... DO ANYTHING

If you wait for the perfect plan, you may be waiting forever.

Find one thing

Get together

Talk about the future

...

ALWAYS BEGIN IN THE ROOM YOU ARE IN

Where does change begin?

It begins in this room because this is the room you are in.

Identify your skills

Think about your average day

...

LEADERSHIP IS NOT A POSITION

If your actions inspire others to dream more, do more, learn more and become more,

you are a leader.

State your intention

Punch above your weight

...

STEPPING UP BY SPEAKING UP

The world is waiting to hear your voice.

Break the silence

Be constructive

Challenge your colleagues

...

WHO AM I TO STEP UP

There are no extraordinary people.

Only ordinary people who do extraordinary things.

Remember what matters

Embolden others

Do something
