The Summit’s next speaker was Danielle Strickland. Danielle has led churches, started training schools and established justice departments around the world. She spent 22 years as an officer in The Salvation Army and is an Ambassador for Stop The Traffik. With a deep calling to empower people and to transform neighborhoods and the world, she co-founded Infinitum (a way of life), Brave Global, Amplify Peace and the Women Speakers Collective. Danielle is also as fine a speaker as you will hear.
The following are 17 quotes from her inspirational session on surviving and thriving change:
- Results – What is seen.Actions – What is done.
- If you want transformation, you don’t need just to change things around. You need to change the right things around.
- Leadership changes don’t always work if it’s not the right one.
- If you want to change things, you’ve got to change the right things.
- The first stage of transition is Settled. It feels like home.
- The second stage of transition is Unsettled.
- The third stage of transition is Chaos. It is equal parts scary and exciting.
- The fourth stage of transition is also Unsettled. It still just doesn’t feel like home.
- The fifth stage of transition is a new normal.
- You have to embrace the process to changing.
- Disruption is not a threat. It is an invitation. We are invited to keep on moving to new normals.
- 70-80% of United States sex-trafficked individuals come from foster care.
- You bear some of the weight because that’s what leaders do.
- If traffickers could target girls for exploitation we could target them for liberation.
- Girls are not the problem. They are the solutions.
- There is no changing the future without disturbing the present.
- Leaders know that changing things is not as important as changing the right thing. Embrace the process. Embrace the way it feels to change those things.
