Performance

Stepping up is

seeing a need and

deciding you are

the person who

can and will do

something about

it. It is a conscious

choice to grow your influence

F O C U S Events primarily result from my own behavior and actions.

I make my own destiny.

I attribute success and failure to things I have control over.

Things outside of my control happen to me.

Life is mostly done to me rather than through me.

I attribute success or failure to forces outside my influence.

Step Up to Develop Yourself

What I Learned the world’s

second oldest airline

Are You a Feedback Junkie?

(Why Self-Awareness REALLY

Matters)

“Almost all of us suffer from the disconnect between

the self we think we are and the self that the rest of

the world sees. The rest of the world usually has a

more accurate picture than we do.”

Marshall Goldsmith, What Got You Here Won’t Get You There.

What the

Teacher of

the Year

Taught Me

“To achieve greatness you must develop

a relentless dissatisfaction

with the status quo”

Darren Entwistle, CEO, TELUS
