Developing your professional strategy

Think
THINKING is how change begins.
Start with a blank sheet and an open mind. Think through problems. Not about them.
Try different techniques. For example, appreciative inquiry builds on what you do well and drives you towards better. Go beyond trendy. Think relationships: between people, resources, and outcomes. Think to a purpose. And movement towards your desired outcomes.

Write
WRITING is a strategy for developing outcomes. It is thinking on paper. Good writing builds relationships, improves productivity, and increases profits. It gains approval for projects, budgets, and proposals. Emotion is important to attract the hearts of customers, supporters, or voters. Balancing your message with common sense and the right thing to do will change their minds and prompt action.

Lead
Leading means taking the first step. No matter your position in an organisation. Or your personal situation. Maybe you are a boss who wants to build functioning teams that work together, rather than being a referee. Maybe you are an employee looking to improve your personal standing and performance. The first step is always up to you. It begins with listening, changing the conversation, and helping each other become the best version of yourself.
