• The Giraffe Project
• Graham, John

Stick Your Neck Out is a comprehensive and practical guide
to the skills, qualities, and strategies you need to make a
difference, covering every aspect of working for change—from
choosing an issue to mapping out a plan, creating a vision
of success, organizing a team, building trust, resolving
conflicts, working with the media, moving through
bureaucracies, setting legal strategies and more.

The book is anchored in three key ideas:
• Courageous and compassionate people can solve any
problems and meet any challenges, in their communities and
in the world.
• The surest path to a meaningful life is service— acting
for the common good.
• The key to success on this path is balance— head and
heart, trust and street smarts, passion and
professionalism, reflection and action.
