ACTION POINTS

1

Know where you have come from: What are the experiences, relationships, and roles that have made you who you are today? What themes start to emerge in your narrative of where you have come from? Challenge yourself: What do you want to leave behind, what do you want to move towards, and what do you want to hang on to? Find the edge. Talking about change is different to committing to change. This is what makes the edge so terrifying and exciting at the same time. What can inspire us to take the leap and engage with our own transformation?

WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION? The solution is not a set of behaviors, but rather a shift in the sense of being. Such solutions begin with a construction of leadership narratives and then learning to actively rewrite those narratives. What parts of ourselves are we trying to join together? What parts of ourselves do we need to leave behind? What parts of ourselves do we need to discover or resurface? What parts of ourselves do we need to hang on to?
