 * An agent of change is someone who believes strongly enough in their convictions to convince others that not only is change necessary, but obtainable. An agent of change must be able to motivate others and have a strong sense of vision. **
 * The ability to overcome adversity is an essential component for an agent of change. As life does not occur in a predetermined order, the agent must be able to quickly adapt and accept all challenges. An agent does not retract their ideals despite these challenges. They use the current conditions, whether favorable or not, to present their convictions. The person also knows that it is necessary to modify and shape their vision over time as well to meet ever changing demands. They are motivating and inspire others around them. Agents are often sought out and encouraged to be the voice of a minority. They do not always seek out attention but are respected well enough in their community to be brought into the spotlight. **
 * A person who inspires change must be able to present the negative or inequities in a system. An agent of change in education must bring to light things that are not currently being addressed within the system and find a way of solving the injustice. **
 * Agents of change are mentors, teachers, and coaches. They keep balance within systems and speak for the groups that they represent. **
