I was steadfast that my new-to-be book’s structure must
serve the functions of companion, confidant, cheerleader, supporter and a
sponsor to every woman who walked the game changing journey.
That’s why there are elements and exercises in the 52
Week Game Changer that serve all these roles.
Each week there is a companion, confidant, cheerleader, supporter or
sponsor there for you. In the beginning
of the journey you learn how living gratitude and celebrating your successes frames
your perspective for success. Throughout
the 52 week journey, Gratitude and Success journal are your companions,
confidants, and cheerleaders.
Vision and purpose are your supporters and the simple
daily actions you perform over 26 weeks are
the sponsors that motivate and drive you forward in fulfilling your leadership
potential.
Knowing that journeys and game changing can be difficult,
I strategically placed “Way Stations” along the way so that journeyers could clarify where they are
and where they are going, and be given the opportunity to adjustments.
I decided
that 52 Week Game Changer should have two parts. Part 1 would be a series of brief (very
brief) chapters describing one element of the framework. The purpose of the book is not to be an
academic work (there are enough of these already). The book’s thrust is “Changing the Game” and
therefore is devoted to action. The
introductory chapters are brief, but substantive enough to help game changers
understand the framework. Part 1 of the
book is a mere 15 pages.
Part 2 of
the book is where the action happens. It
is the heart of the process, containing 136 pages devoted to changing the
game. It is in Part 2 that game changers
will find their companions, confidants, cheerleaders, supporters and
sponsors. It is here where the game
begins to change by celebrating who you are, identifying what you want to
accomplish, defining the steps you want to take and taking action to change the
game!
