SPARK ACTIONS In summary, on your Spark journey you must: Choose to lead. No one else makes you a leader. You make you a leader. Embrace the struggle within—instead of worrying about what you weren’t born with, build upon what you already have. Focus on responding, not reacting, to the people and events you encounter. Anticipate your blind spots—challenge yourself to gain a full view of your strengths and limitations. Be open to examining your beliefs about your abilities and exploring your hidden talents.
