1) The document discusses how to become an agent for change in your community by following three steps: Find a passion, Feed your passion by learning more about it, and Fuel your passion by taking action as an advocate or champion. 2) It explains that finding a passion leads to becoming a fan, feeding on information about it turns you into an advocate, and fueling solutions as a change agent makes you a champion for the cause. 3) The key message is that in order to create change, one must first find a topic they are passionate about, educate themselves on it, and then take action by volunteering time or resources to further the cause.

1. Find It. Feed It. Fuel It.©
Cube Your F, and
Change the World ™

2. To be a change agent for in a
community, you need a passion
• The first key is to Find It
• Once a passion is found, you need to
Feed It
• You then become all that is needed to
Fuel It
• And those 3 Fs, once in motion, make the
whole greater than the sum of the parts,
thus Cubing the F!

3. Fans >> Advocates >> Champions
• Think of Cubing Your F this way
• A Fan is someone who participates in an event
and Finds out about it
• An Advocate is a Fan who becomes curious
about the cause behind the event and begins to
Feed on information
• A Champion is an Advocate who decides to
become a Change Agent for the cause, thus
Fueling solutions!
• A Non Profit needs to meet every Fan it can!

4. Herein Lies the Challenge
• Knowing something has never changed
anything
• It is not until you choose to act on the
knowledge you have that change will
occur
• So we Find knowledge, then we learn and
Feed knowledge, then we become a
change agent, using knowledge as Fuel

5. Find It
• What are you curious about?
• What topics cause you to have an
emotional response?
• Why Find anything at all?
• Just because you haven’t, doesn’t mean
you can’t

6. What to Find
• For this to work, you need something you
are passionate about
• Health, Animals, Housing, Performing
Arts, Missions, Hunger, Clothing,
Education
• Where are you personally connected to
any of these
• If you heart doesn’t buy in, your head
never will!

7. Where to Find
• What if a cure for breast cancer is at the
top of Mt. Rainier?
• Or an oil change can save lives?
• Or your dry cleaning can keep kids warm
in the winter?
• Or dancing at a high school can raise
$800K for local community issues
• Or…?

8. Feed It
• Learn everything you can from anywhere
you can!
• Google it
• Get active in it
• Find events built around it
• Get to know others in the network

9. What are you Feeding on?
The goal is to elevate thoughtful voices
• Those voices become a conversation
• That very conversation can become a
chorus, and a chorus changes everything!
• Change.org 4th Graders in Brookline, MA
used it to make Universal Studios change
the Lorax to include environmental content

10. Fuel It
• You are now on your way to become a
Cubed F Change Agent!
• Fuel is a lot of things
• Time, $$, Advocacy, Volunteer Support,
Exploration

11. You – it begins and ends there
• What turns you on? Why?
• What groups have similar interests?
• What can you do to participate?
• If not now, when?
• If not you, who?
• It truly is a simple matter of choice
• What is yours going to be? F3?

12. Closing Thoughts
• Why you?
• “Nobody can go back and start a new
beginning, but anybody can start today
and make a new ending” Paul Kreider;
Hershey Company

13. And?
• Why here and now?
• “When species change, it almost always
occurs first at the fringes. Here the
population is most sparse and the
orthodoxies of the center are weakest.
Here you can flourish, isolated from
formula and rules, free from the corrosive
belief that everything great has already
been done.” Kevin Robert; Saatchi
