15. 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.

16. • 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.
