  3. The 5 A’s Authority Ambition Ability Authenticity Action

  4. Authority • Authority ≠ “The Man” • Own your expertise (career, household, motherhood, community leader, etc.) • Your life experience, work, family, past accomplishments authorize you to talk about certain issues • Name at least 3 things you are an authority on: Go!

  5. Ambition • Redefine ambition from “desire for personal success” to “passion for justice” (or “fairness” or “safety” or “economic equality” or…) • Ambition is how leaders get to lead • Define your own political ambition and how you demonstrate that ambition • Check out our Alum Videos to see what ambition looks like

  6. Ability • Women are just as able to lead as men • So-called “feminine skills” include: • Collaborative style • Community building • Tendency to reach across lines of authority • Focus on broader issues • You also have specific skills built through work, family, volunteerism • We have a worksheet to help name your abilities! • “I have long demonstrated the ability to _______________________________”

  7. Authenticity • Celebrate the you that you are • Your authenticity – your genuine voice – makes you both unique and relatable • No need to try to “sound like a politician” • Your stories and experience – even your odd personality traits – are valuable • Name what makes you an authentic leader

  8. Action • Take action to define your own Authority, Ambition, Ability & Authenticity • Positive, concrete steps toward achieving your political ambition • Make sure you complete your VoteRunLeadleadership profile

  9. Action • Write an action plan for yourself: • 3 things you’ll do over next 6 months • 5 things you’ll accomplish in next year • When will you run for an elected office? • Plan your actions accordingly
