"Step up by making decisions in matters rare or regular, mundane or monumental, professional or personal, and you will make a difference in the world and experience meaning in your life."

Stepping Up: The Art of Making a Difference

Summary

What does it mean to Step Up? We are presented with choices every day. We make decisions, and the decisions have consequences. Choices, decisions, and consequences: this sequence happens to us each day, in every part of our lives.


In his motivational and insightful book, executive coach and conflict negotiator Timothy Dobbins examines and teaches innovative techniques to use when making decisions that matter. Using his global experiences, Dobbins focuses on new ways of helping you make meaningful decisions that lead to effective actions.


Dobbins explores five major ways we make decisions. We can Stand Still, Step Aside, Step Back, Step On or Over someone, or we can Step Up. These five ways of making decisions are considered in the context of how we live a meaningful life in the workplace.


Dobbins believes that where we spend our time, we spend our lives. He asserts that people can be divided into three categories: those who Watch Things Happen, those who Make Things Happen and those who Wonder What Happened.   


Stepping Up offers you a new way to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN!


Using true and inspiring stories of people who have stepped up throughout history, including his own and those of his clients, Dobbins leads you to a new way of making conscious decisions that will have an impact on your life as well as on the lives of others.
