Abby Wambach commencement speech to Barnards Class of 2018

Abby Wambach commencement speech to Barnards Class of 2018Abby Wambach commencement speech to Barnards Class of 2018Below is the transcript (and video) of soccer star Abby Wambachs commencement speech to Barnards Class of 2018Greetings to President Beilock, Provost, Dean, Barnard faculty, trustees, and honorees Katzu sichbeiine Johnson, Anna Quindlen, and Rhea Suh. And to each of the 619 badass women of the Barnard graduating class of 2018 Congratulations, you guys, congratulationsDoesnt it feel like the second you figure anything out in life, it ends and youre forced to start all over again? Experts call ansicht times of life, transitions. I call them terrifying. I went through a terrifying transition recently when I retired from soccer.The world tries to distract us from our fear during these transitions by creating fancy ceremonies for us. This is your fancy ceremony. Mine welches the ESPYs, a nationally televised sports award show. I had to get dressed up for that, just like you got dressed up for this. But they sent me a really expensive fancy stylist. It doesnt look like you guys got one. Sorry about that.So it went like this ESPN called and told me they were going to honor me with their inaugural icon award. I was humbled, of course, to be regarded as an icon. Did I mention that Im an icon?I received my award along with two other incredible athletes basketballs Kobe Bryant and footballs Peyton Manning. We all stood on stage together and watched the highlights of our careers with the cameras rolling and the fans cheering, and I looked around and had a moment of awe. I felt so grateful to be there, included in the company of Kobe and Peyton. I had a momentary feeling of having arrived - like we women had finally made it.Then the applause ended and it was time for the three of us to exit stage left. And as I watched those men walk off the stage, it dawned on me that the three of us were stepping into very different futures.Each of us, Kobe, Peyton and I - we made the same sacrifices, we shed the same amount of blood sweat and tears, wed left it all on the field for decades with the same ferocity, talent and commitment. But our retirements wouldnt be the same at all. Because Kobe and Peyton walked away from their careers with something I didnt have enormous bank accounts. Because of that, they had something else I didnt have freedom. Their hustling days were over, and mine were just beginning.Later that night, back in my hotel room, I laid in bed and thought this isnt just about me, and this isnt just about soccer. We talk a lot about the pay gap. We talk about how, overall, U.S. women earn 80 cents for every dollar paid to men. Black women in America earn 63 cents, while Latinas earn 54 cents, for every dollar paid to white men. What we need to talk about more is the aggregate and compounding effects of the pay gap on womens lives. Over time, the pay gap means women are able to invest less and save less, so they have to work longer. When we talk about what the pay gap costs us, lets be clear it costs us our very lives.And it hit me that Id spent most of my time during my career the same way Id spent my time on that ESPYs stage. Just feeling grateful. Grateful to be one of the only women to have a seat at the table. I was so grateful to receive any respect at all for myself that I often missed opportunities to demand equality for all of us. But as you know, women of Barnard, change is here. Women are learning that we can be grateful for what we have and also demand what we deserve.Itscommencement seasonFollow LaddersCommencement Addresses magazine on Flipboardto watch and read all of the most inspiring speeches from this year and years past.Like all little girls, I was taught to be grateful. I was taught to keep my head down, stay on the path, and get my job done. I was freaking Little Red Riding Hood. You know the fairy tale. Its just one iteration of the warning stories girls are told the world over. Little R ed Riding Hood heads off through the woods and is given strict instructions Stay on the path. Dont talk to anybody. Keep your head down hidden underneath your Handmaids Tale cape.And she doesat first. But then she dares to get a little curious and she ventures off the path. Thats, of course, when she encounters the big bad wolf and all hell breaks loose. The message is clear Dont be curious, dont make trouble, dont say too much or bad things will happen. I stayed on the path out of fear- not of being eaten by a wolf- but of being cut, being benched, losing my paycheck. If I could go back and tell my younger self one thing it would be this Abby, You were never Little Red Riding Hood, you were always the wolf.So when I was entrusted with the honor of speaking here today, I decided that the most important thing for me to say to you, is this Barnard women, class of 2018, we are the wolves.In 1995, around the year of your birth, wolves were re-introduced into Yellowstone National Park af ter being absent for 70 years. In those years, the number of deer had skyrocketed because they were unchallenged, alone at the top of the food chain. They grazed away and reduced the vegetation, so much that the riverbanks were eroding.Once the wolves arrived, they thinned out the deer through hunting. But more significantly, their presence changed the behavior of the deer. Wisely, the deer started avoiding the valleys and the vegetation in those places regenerated. Trees quintupled in just six years. Birds and beavers started moving in. The river dams the beavers built provided habitats for otters and ducks and fish. The animal ecosystem regenerated. But that wasnt all. The rivers actually changed as well. The plant regeneration stabilized the riverbanks so they stopped collapsing. The rivers steadied - all because of the wolves presence.See what happened here? The wolves - who were feared as a threat to the system - turned out to be its salvation. Barnard Women, are yall pickin g up what Im laying down here? Women are feared as a threat to our system - and we will also be our salvation.Our landscape is overrun with archaic ways of thinking about women, about people of color, about the other, about the rich and the poor, about the powerful and the powerless. And these ways of thinking are destroying us. We are the ones weve been waiting for. We will not Little Red Riding hood our way through life. We will unite our pack, storm the valley together and change the whole bloody system.Throughout my life, my pack has been my gruppe. Teams need a unifying structure, and the best way to create one collective heartbeat is to establish rules for your team to live by. It doesnt matter what specific page youre all on, just as long as youre all on the same one.Here are four rules Ive used to unite my pack and lead them to goldRule No. 1 Make failure your fuel.Heres something the best athletes understand, but seems like a harder concept for non-athletes to grasp. Non-a thletes dont know what to do with the gift of failure. So they hide it, pretend it never happened, reject it outright, and they end up wasting it.Listen Failure is not something to be ashamed of, its something to be powered by. Failure is the highest octane fuel your life can run on. You gotta learn to make failure your fuel.When I was on the youth national team, only dreaming of playing alongside Mia Hamm Yall know her? Good. I had the opportunity to visit the national teams lax room. The thing that struck me most wasnt my heroes grass stained cleats, or their names and numbers hanging above their lockers. It was a picture. It was a picture that someone had taped next to the door, so that it would be the last thing every player saw before she headed out to the training pitch. You might guess it was a picture of their last big win, or of them standing on a podium accepting gold medals. But it wasnt. It was a picture of their long time rival, the Norwegian national team celebrating after having just beaten the USA in the 1995 World Cup.In that locker room I learned that in order to become my very best - on the pitch and off - Id need to spend my life letting the feelings and lessons of failure transform into my power. Failure is fuel. Fuel is power.Women listen to me. We must embrace failure as our fuel instead of accepting it as our destruction. As Michelle Obamarecently said, I wish that girls could fail as well as men do and be OK. Because let me tell you watching men fail up, its frustrating. Its frustrating to see men blow it and win. And we hold ourselves to these crazy, crazy standards.hautwolf Pack Fail up, blow it and win.Rule No. 2 Lead from the bench.Imagine this Youve scored more goals than any human being on the planet - female or male. Youve co-captained and led Team USA in almost every category for the past decade. And you and your coach sit down and decide together that you wont be a anlasser in your last World Cup for Team USA. So, that suc ked.Youll feel benched sometimes, too. Youll be passed over for the promotion, taken off the project. You might even find yourself holding a baby instead of briefcase, watching your colleagues get ahead. Heres whats important. Youre allowed to be disappointed when it feels like lifes benched you. What you arent allowed to do is miss your opportunity to lead from the bench. During that last World Cup, my teammates told me that my presence, my support, my vocal and relentless belief in them from the bench, is what gave them the confidence they needed to win us that championship.If youre not a leader on the bench, then dont call yourself a leader on the field. Youre either a leader everywhere or nowhere. And by the way, the fiercest leading Ive ever seen has been done between mother and child. Parenting is no bench. It just might be the big game.Wolf Pack Wherever youre put, lead from there.Rule No. 3 Champion each other.During every 90-minute soccer match there are a few magical momen ts when the ball actually hits the back of the net and a goal is scored. When this happens, it means that everything has come together perfectly - the perfect pass, the perfectly timed run, every player in the right place at exactly the right time - all of this culminating in a moment in which one player scores that goal.What happens next on the field is what transforms a bunch of individual women into a team. Teammates from all over the field rush toward the goal scorer. It appears that were celebrating her, but what were really celebrating is every player, every coach, every practice, every sprint, every doubt and even every failure that this one single goal represents. You will not always be the goal scorer. And when you are not, you better be rushing toward her.Women must champion each other. This can be difficult for us. Women have been pitted against each other since the beginning of time, for that one seat at the table. Scarcity has been planted inside of us and among us. T his scarcity is not our fault, but it is our problem. And it is within our power to create abundance for women where scarcity used to live.As you go out into the world, amplify each others voices. Demand seats for women, people of color and all marginalized people at every table where decisions are made. Call out each others wins and, just like we do on the field, claim the success of one woman as a collective success for all women.Joy. Success. Power. These are not pies where a bigger slice for her means a smaller slice for you. These are infinite. In any revolution, the way to make something true starts with believing it is. Lets claim infinite joy, success, and power - together.Wolf Pack Her victory is your victory. Celebrate it.Fourth rule Demand the ball.When I was a teenager, I was lucky enough to play with one of my heroes, Michelle Akers. She needed a place to train since there was not yet a womens professional league. Michelle was tall like I am, built like Id be built and the most courageous soccer player Id ever seen play. She personified every one of my dreams.We were playing a small-sided scrimmage - five against five. We were 18 years old and she was Michelle Akers, a chiseled, 30-year-old powerhouse. For the first three quarters of the game, she was taking it easy on us, coaching us, teaching us about spacing, timing and the tactics of the game.But by the fourth quarter, she realized that because of all of this coaching, her team was losing by three goals. In that moment, a light switched on inside of her. She ran back to the goalkeeper, stood one yard away from her and screamed Give. Me. The. Effing. Ball.And the goalkeeper gave her the effing ball. And she took that ball and she dribbled through our entire effing team, and she scored. Now this game was winners keepers, so if you scored you got the ball back.So, as soon as Michelle scored, she ran back to her goalie, stood a yard away from her and screamed Give. Me. The.Ball.The keeper did. A nd again she dribbled though us and scored. And then she did it again. She took her team to victory. Michelle Akers knew what her team needed from her at every moment of the game. Dont forget, until the fourth quarter, leadership had required Michelle to help, support and teach, but eventually leadership called her to demand the ball.Wolf Pack At this moment in history, leadership is calling us to sayGive me the effing ball.Give me the effing job.Give me the same pay the guy next to me gets.Give me the promotion.Give me the microphone.Give me the Oval Office.Give me the respect Ive earned, and give it to my wolf pack too.In closing, I want to leave you with the most important thing I have learned since leaving soccer. When I retired, my sponsor, Gatorade, surprised me at a meeting with the plan for mysend off commercial. The message was this Forget Me. They nailed it. They knew I wanted my legacy to be ensuring the future success of the sport Id dedicated my life to. If my name were forgotten, that would mean that the women who came behind me were breaking records, winning championships and pushing the game to new heights. When I shot that commercial, I cried.A year later, I found myself coaching my 10-year-old daughters soccer team. Id coached them all the way to the championship. (humblebrag) One day I was warming up the team, doing a little shooting drill. I was telling them a story about when I retired. And one of those little girls looked up to me and said, So what did you retire from? And I looked down at her and said, Soccer. And she said, Oh. Who did you play for? And I said The United States of America. And she said Oh. Does that mean that you know Alex Morgan? Be careful what you wish for, Barnard. They forgot me.But thats OK. Being forgotten in my retirement didnt scare me. What scared me was losing the identity the game gave me. I defined myself as Abby Wambach, soccer player - the one who showed up and gave 100 percent to my team and fought along side my wolf pack to make a better future for the next generation. Without soccer, who would I be? A few months after retirement, I began creating my new life. I met Glennon and our three children, and I became a wife, a mother, a geschftliches miteinander owner and an activist. And you know who I am now? Im still the same Abby. I still show up and give 100 percent - now to my new pack, and I still fight every day to make a better future for the next generation.You see, soccer didnt make me who I was. I brought who I was to soccer. And I get to bring who I am wherever I go. And guess what? So do you. As you leave here today and every day going forward, dont just ask yourself, what do I want to do? Ask yourself, who do I want to be? Because the most important thing Ive learned is that what you do will never define you. Who you are always will. And who you are, Barnard women, are the wolves.Surrounding you today is your wolf pack. Look around. Go ahead, you can do it. Dont lose each other. Leave these sacred grounds united, storm the valleys together, and be our salvation.

Promoting Workplace Ethics that Align with the Vision Statement

Promoting Workplace Ethics that Align with the Vision StatementPromoting Workplace Ethics that Align with the Vision StatementPromoting Workplace Ethics that Align with the Vision Statement DezubeNearly every company has a vision statement. Yet far fewer companies have a value statement that will guide employee behavior.A failure to include company values and work ethics in the vision statement, or to ensure its compliance, can lead to a host of issues, from lost revenue to corporate malfeasance.Why Work Ethics MatterTodays world of fluid social networking, means that its no longer sufficient to simply have a company mission statement. The need is compounded by the growth of global recruitmentthat involves divergent local customs and social norms as well as the ascendance of Gen Y workers who bring a new set of behavioral expectations to the workplace.Today, organizations need to establish and integrate company values into their company mission statement and into its day-to-day opera tions, including their hiring process, as well as in annual performance reviews and as making it part of professional talent development.Were like fishes in a bowl, says Nan DeMars, author of Youve Got to be Kidding How to Keep Your Job Without Losing Your Integrity.Everyone is watching what corporations and employees are doing and ethics has an important role to play.Work ethics will help your firmRecruit and retain employee whose personal values align with company valuesBuild a robust talent management strategyReward and recognize employees for making ethical decisionsProtect your companys global reputationWorkplace Ethics Cross Cultural BordersWhile it may seem that work ethics are situational and local, Ethics and einhaltung Officer AssociationsCOO Tim Mazur points out six values common to all cultures1.Trustworthiness2.Responsibility3.Civic virtue (what we call citizenship in US)4.Caring5.Justice (or fairness in some languages)6.RespectBeyond these universal values, your organ izations work ethics and beliefs should be specific to your industry and mission.Once youve identified your company values, the process of identifying your workplace ethics can follow a more standardized process, Mazur says.Creating your Work EthicsFor each value, come up with at least five concrete principles that will guide employee decisions as well as employee performance reviews, adds Mazur. Each principal should include a subject, verb and object as part of the statement.For example, a utility company whose employees work on power lines might create a company value of respect for safety. Going deeper into what this means for employees on a daily basis, one of the utilitys ethics principles might beEmployees will not cross roads on foot.That might then be tempered with a second principleNo operating statement or urgency of service will prevent an employee from saving a life or saving another employee from harm.The specificity of your organizations workplace ethics will ensure t hat company values truly play a role during the evaluation and review process. For example, its much easier for a supervisor to evaluate whether an employee put himself in danger by crossing the street than it is to say whether he respected proper safety rules.Going beyond rules, the Ethics Resource Centerrecommends focusing on encouraging positive behaviors, such as setting a good example, keeping promises and commitments and supporting others in adhering to workplace ethical standards.Communicate Company EthicsOnce your companys values are translated into actionable form, they need to be communicated.Where youre really going to get the meat of this is in your employee handbook, DeMars says. Employees need a blueprint. They need to know what they can and cannot do and it has to be specific.The best employee handbooks also include ethical QAs on issues that confront all organizations, such as confidentiality, vendor relationships, accountability, and harassment.Also, be sure to inco rporate your company values into recruiting materials and into the interview processand employee development programs.Employees at all levels of the organization will also benefit from tailored corporate values training from the board of directors and senior managers, to line managers, ERC recommends.Tracking Ethics ComplianceUnless your organization plans to use its vision statement solely as a decorative poster in the reception area, it will need a method for tracking compliance, options for reporting infractions safely and accountability for ethics violations.The problem is, in many cases senior managers around the world make decisions that are not in alignment with the corporations stated ethical standards,says Mike Boyd, a senior lecturer of management Bentley University and president of HR strategy consulting firm Boyd Associates. Once one manager does that, everyone says the company values are just a nice statement to put on the wall, adds Boyd.Your company values will remain a nice statement on the wall when a whistleblower shares the senior managers ethical lapses with the world.One effective preventative against unethical employee behavior is an open line of communication for reporting violations. The Ethics Resource Center estimates 95 percent of whistleblowers tried to work out the issue within the system before going public.Employees need to know their work ethics concerns will be taken seriously and kept confidential they need to feel that there will be no repercussions for coming forward, DeMars says.After implementing your new corporate values program, follow up with a survey and evaluation to track and monitor the effectiveness of your workplace ethic efforts.Creating, communicating and integrating company ethics into your workplace requires a commitment at all levels of the organization to the principles in your vision statement.The payoff? Those efforts will draw ethical job candidates to your organization and inspire current employees to al ways act in the best interests of their employer.

6 ways nice people can master conflict

6 ways nice people can master conflict6 ways nice people can master conflictWhen youre a nice partie, conflict can be a real challenge. Not that mean people are any better at conflict they just enjoy it more.Research from Columbia University shows that how you handle conflict can make or break your career. The researchers measured something scientifically that many of us have seen firsthand- people who are too aggressive in conflict situations harm their performance by upsetting and alienating their peers, while people who are too passive at umgang conflict hinder their ability to reach their goals.The secret to effective handling of conflict is assertiveness - that delicate place where you get your needs met without bullying the other person into submission. Assertive people strike a careful balance between passivity and aggression (that is, they never lean too far in either direction).How To Handle Conflict AssertivelyIts easy to think that nice people are too passive. While thats often true, unchecked passivity can boil over into aggression. So there are plenty of very nice people out there who have exhibited both extremes of the assertiveness spectrum.To be assertive, you need to learn to engage in healthy conflict. Healthy conflict directly and constructively addresses the issue at hand without ignoring or trivializing the needs of either cocktailparty. The strategies that follow will get you there.Consider the repercussions of silenceSometimes its hard to muster the motivation to speak up when the likelihood is high that things will turn ugly. The fastest way to motivate yourself to act is to fully consider the costs of not speaking up - theyre typically far greater than not standing up for yourself. The trick is that you need to shift your attention away from the headache that will come with getting involved to all of the things you stand to gain from your assertiveness.Say and instead of butThe simple act of replacing the yep but with and makes confli ct much more constructive and collaborative. Say, for example, that your gruppemate John wants to use the majority of your budget on a marketing campaign, but youre worried that doing so wont leave enough money for a critical new hire. Instead of saying, I see that you want to use the money for marketing, but I think we need to make a new hire, say I see that you want to use the money for marketing, and I think we need to make a new hire. The difference is subtle, but the first sentence minimizes the value of his idea. The second sentence states the herausforderung as you see it, without devaluing his idea, which then opens things up for discussion. Saying and makes the other party feel like youre working with them, rather than against them.Use hypotheticalsWhen you assert yourself, you dont want it to look like youre poking holes in their idea (even when you are). Hypotheticals are the perfect way to pull this off. Telling someone, for example, Your new product idea wont work becau se you overlooked how the sales team operates comes across much more aggressively than suggesting the hypothetical, How do you think our sales team will go about selling this new product? When you see a flaw and present a hypothetical, youre engaging with the original idea and giving the other party a chance to explain how it might work. This shows that youre willing to hear the other person out.Dont speak in absolutes (You Always or You Never.)No one always or never does anything. People dont see themselves as one-dimensional, so you shouldnt attempt to define them as such. Using these phrases during conflict makes people defensive and closed off to your message. Instead, point out what the other person did thats a problem for you. Stick to the facts. If the frequency of the behavior is an issue, you can always say, It seems like you do this often. or You do this often enough for me to notice.Ask good questions until you get to the heart of the matterFailing to understand the motiv e behind someones behavior throws fuel on the fire of conflict, because it makes everything they do appear foolish and shortsighted. Instead of pointing out flaws, you should seek to understand where the other person is coming from. Try asking good questions, such as Why did you choose to do it that way? What do you mean by that? and Can you help me to understand this better? Even when you dont see eye to eye, using questions to get to the underlying motive builds trust and understanding, both of which are conflict killers.When you challenge, offer solutionsPeople dont like it when they feel as if youre attempting to take apart their idea right off the bat. When you challenge someones idea, but also offer a solution, you demonstrate that you want to work together to come up with a fix. This reinforces the value of their idea, even if its full of holes. For example, you might say One potential problem that I see with your idea is ___. However, I think we can overcome this problem if we can just figure out a way to___. In this example, you arent even providing the solution. Youre just acknowledging that youre willing to work together to find one.Bringing It All TogetherMastering conflict requires emotional intelligence. Emotionally intelligent people know how to craft their message in a conflict, whether theyre naturally assertive or not. They take other peoples feelings into account while still asserting themselves confidently.How have you used assertiveness to your advantage?
