Power Tips to Promote Project

Success• Believe in yourself; be willing to take risks, reach for YOUR dreams

and set lofty goals. - Only YOU can determine what you can and can't achieve.

• Power of the mirror - Self discovery of your inner giftedness, integrity, and character will be the most powerful keys to your success.

• Develop a greater cultural awareness and be adaptable to lead project teams in virtual communities around the world. - We live in a virtual world today so the ability to adapt is essential.

• Think of failure as success in disguise – be willing to learn from your mistakes, find a mentor/coach, and focus on your personal growth.

• Network - Reach out to your community to network, attend meetings, and offer to share knowledge in social networks.

• Have a voice – Overcome your fear of speaking, put yourself out there, share your stories.

• Reflection – Reflect back to move forward; there is nothing more powerful than to take stock of what you've accomplished to begin the next chapter of your life.

• Openness – Put yourself in the way of new opportunities; you will be amazed at the new relationships you will form and opportunities you will get involved in to help make a difference in someone’s life.

• Mentor others and lend a hand to help others achieve their success. - You will truly pass along a long lasting legacy and learn from those who you've mentored in the process.

• Surround yourself with other successful leaders and foster global relationships to perpetuate continuous growth and development. -change is constant; growth is optional.
