Stepping Up
How Taking Responsibility Changes Everything
by
John Izzo
Foreword by Marshall Goldsmith
New book from the bestselling author of The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die
“Insightful and inspired! John Izzo’s Stepping Up reveals how all of us can create positive change in life and work.”—Marshall Goldsmith, world-renowned executive coach and author of the New York Times bestsellers Mojo and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
Bestselling author John Izzo brings together his distinctive mix of inspiring story-telling and practical advice to tell how readers can they can more effectively bring about positive change by taking responsibility for their own lives. This book is intended for anyone who wants to step up and create meaningful change in their lives and in their work.
Stepping Up argues that almost every problem, from global warming to personal issues can be solved when readers look to themselves to be the agent of change, rather than looking to others. The more each person takes responsibility and chooses to step up and initiate change, the more they will find personal power and be able to influence change. And with research to prove it, John Izzo shows readers that rather than be the victims of change, they are happier and less stressed when they are the initiators.
Using examples from business and society, the book will both inspire and challenge. Stories range from that of a group of citizens who stepped up to improve the living conditions in one of the worst slums in the world in Sao Paulo, to that of group of high school students who stepped up for a classmate in an extreme case of bullying.
