What does it mean to step up? We are presented with choices every day. We make decisions, and these decisions have consequences. Choices, decisions, and consequences—this sequence happens to us each day in every part of our lives.

This is a business book about the business of life. In his motivational and insightful book, executive coach and conflict negotiator Timothy Dobbins examines and teaches innovative techniques to use when making decisions that matter.

Using his global experiences, Dobbins focuses on new ways of helping you make meaningful decisions that lead to effective actions. Dobbins explores five major ways we make decisions. We can stand still, step aside, step back, step on or over someone, or we can step up. These five ways of making decisions are considered in the context of how we live a meaningful life in the workplace.

Dobbins believes that where we spend our time, we spend our lives. He asserts that people can be divided into three categories: those who watch things happen, those who make things happen, and those who wonder what happened.

Stepping Up offers you a new way to make things happen. Using true and inspiring stories of people who have stepped up throughout history, including his own and those of his clients, he leads you to a new way of making conscious decisions that will have an impact on your life, as well as the lives of others.
