Three Questions to Ask Yourself about Everything You Do

“How you respond to setbacks is what defines your character….” This is the premise of Stacey Abrams' TED Talk, Three Questions to Ask Yourself About Everything You Do. Abrams shares her story and lessons she’s learned along the way, most recently in her career, all streamlined into these three important questions: What do I want? Why do I want it? And how do I get it? These questions are great guides for us as we develop our individual leadership in terms of being clear about what we want, why we want it, and how to get it. This, in turn, leads us to being invested and passionate about the work we do, and ultimately, to being successful. It is critical for teams in a multi-sector effort to know what they want, why they want it, and how they will get it in order to gain stakeholder support and move forward. As you continue with NLAPH, work on refining your Big Picture as you ask these three questions in order to support the most meaningful growth.
