WEEK ONE ✔️ New classes. New teammates. New responsibilities. Maybe you crushed it. Maybe you struggled. Probably both. You don’t have to have it all figured out yet. Show up. Ask questions. Help someone. Keep going. Your story is just getting started. 🧡💙 #OUAZ #OUAZLead

OUAZ LEAD is growing. We’re creating new opportunities for students to develop skills, build relationships, gain experience, and prepare for what comes next. The first new initiative is almost here. Professional growth. Career readiness. Real-world experience. Stay tuned. 👀

You’ve heard both voices. “I’ve got this.” “I’m not good enough.” The goal isn’t pretending the negative voice won’t show up. It’s refusing to let it make the decision. When you hear “I can’t,” ask: WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? Then do it. CONTROL THE VOICE • SERIES 001 #OUAZLead

Catch yourself saying: “I CAN’T.” Then stop. You don’t need to convince yourself everything will be easy. Just ask a better question: “WHAT CAN I DO NEXT?” Find one action. Do it. Leadership starts with leading yourself. CONTROL THE VOICE • #OUAZLead #ControlTheVoice

Two voices may show up today: “You’ve got this.” and “You’re not good enough.” You may not control which thought appears first. But you can decide which one gets fed. Catch it. Challenge it. Replace it. Move forward. WHICH VOICE ARE YOU FEEDING? CONTROL THE VOICE #OUAZLead

Sometimes that voice tears you down, I’m not good enough, But a thought isn’t automatically a fact Maybe you’re not ready yet you don’t know how yet you made a mistake None of those define you Challenge the thought before you believe it Is it true—or is fear talking? #OUAZLead

Sometimes that voice builds you: “YOU’VE GOT THIS.” Confidence doesn’t always come before action. Sometimes you take the step first—and confidence follows. Today’s question: What’s one thing you need to tell yourself today? CONTROL THE VOICE #OUAZLead #ControlTheVoice

Every leader has a voice they listen to. “You’ve got this.” or “I’m not good enough.” Both voices may show up. Leadership is deciding which one gets your attention. What are you telling yourself today? CONTROL THE VOICE #OUAZLead #ControlTheVoice
