Change Focus

• Maximize the benefits, minimize the barriers
  
• Tackle big ideas in small steps
  
• Match the innovation to current practices; the more it matches what you already do, the easier it is to adopt.
  
• Trust in the expertise and support of change agents around you
  
• Change-artists analyze how fear of success can stop them from changing. They also know success does not magically bestow happiness.
  
• Choices and options are all open. One can make new choices anytime. One can adopt a proposed method or reject that method
  
• Giving positive strokes to oneself is as important as giving them to others. But self-criticism is easier than self-stroking.
  
• Sharon Clark’s rule: If you are not failing, then you are not trying!
