A Champion is one whom you choose to make!

A potential Champion is one who cares, is passionate about something/s and is willing to

How do we identify Champions?



The Tipping Point - 3 Rules

3 Rules

• It doesn’t take large numbers of people to generate a trend

• A select few enjoy a disproportionate amount of influence over the spread of social trends

The Law of the Few


Types of those “few”

Connectors:• know everybody, are networkers, have many contacts

• “Connectors are social glue: they spread it.” (Gladwell)

• Have large social circles

Mavens: • possess information, expertise, and seek to share it

• “Mavens are data banks. They provide the message” (Gladwell)

• Are “in the know”

Salesman: • are persuasive

• Charismatic types

• Often rely on “soft” influence

BEGIN

• Create a CANVAS

• Wax on, Wax off instructions

ACCELERATE

• Disrupt the CANVAS

• Unconventional challenges

SUSTAIN

• SILENCE!

• One BIG challenge

Championship MODEL - 3 phases


Championship MODEL - Phase 1

1. Be respectful and earn the trust of champions

2. Create an outlet for their inner strengths [Ex: Create Championship CANVAS]

3. Teach them the basics as an art

4. Be a ruthless task master

5. Hold people accountable for their words

6. Display high degree of integrity by walking the talk

COACH’S FOCUS & BEHAVIOR



1. Provide access to the blind spots of champions

2. Challenge them on fundamentals and help them deepen their understanding

3. Push them to challenge status quo

4. Encourage outcome/impact drivenexperiments [mostly unconventional]

5. Exhibit NO Tolerance culture for integrity breaches




1. Create space and step out

2. Throw BIG games to play [at community or org level]

3. Encourage confronting conversations (from both sides)

4. Provide the experience of silence!
