Growing Momentum

Highlights from Session 3

What are some effective strategies in identifying and

overcoming challenges to social innovation?

Expanding our Locus of Control

what can we influence?

“Locus of Control as a principle was originated by Julian Rotter in 1954. It considers the tendency of people to believe

that control resides internally within them, or externally, with others or the situation.”

What do social entrepreneurs need to do in order to

sustain their social innovation, and what kinds of

questions should they ask themselves?

What if anything was possible?1. "Vision without action is just a dream, action

without vision just passes the time, and vision

with action can change the world."

2. "There is no passion to be found playing small -

in settling for a life that is less than the one you

are capable of living."

3. “Lead from the back — and let others believe

they are in front.”

4. “Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is

an act of justice.”

5. “Remember to celebrate milestones as you

prepare for the road ahead”

"It always seems

impossible until it's done."

Inspiring Quotes for Entrepreneurs from

Nelson Mandela

Dip into Resilience

“While we do definitely

want to see positive

change occur on our

most pressing problems,

a long-term goal is to

work to enhance the

overall state of any

system so that it has

capacity to continually

learn, adapt and

transform present and

future challenges.”
