Step 3 – Formal Commitment & Pledge

There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity. 

Nathaniel Branden

Make a formal commitment

Taking the leap! 

Congratulations! if you have got this far, everyone in your organisation must be aware that you are on the CCQM journey ! Your website and social media should reflect your journey so far. 

For this step –step three– there are multiple ways to complete this step. You could sign up online in a petition style sign up form, or you could use a large piece of paper to gather signatures, or each team could sign a poster and upload a smiley photo of them holding it. You might choose to email everyone, ask them to click an agreement button on your CCQM page where the number of responses can be held and displayed. The choice is yours.

But however you choose to do it, to complete this phase, you need to:

  1. Complete the formal commitment form
  2. Provide us with a pledge of your commitment and proof of who is taking the journey with you. i.e. a link to where it is on your website is enough. 

Ensure that the world can see videos/photos of presentations, photos with people holding the brochure… written or audio responses from members. It’s up to you! 

This is the final step of phase 1
