As I mention early in the interview with Dr. Ruth Gotian focused on her excellent book The Success Factor, she had me at the subtitle: Developing the Mindset and Skillset for Peak Business Performance. As an executive coach and leadership developer, gaining research-backed insight into the behaviors and practices that support our growth and feed our success, this book and interview are treasure troves of great approaches.
Highlights include:
-How a mentor's comment rippled through Dr. Gotian's life and fueled her passion for her work.
-How her research and work with high achievers has turned into a global initiative.
-Why we need to put most/most of our efforts into supporting high achievers and how to do it (& why there's an imbalance in our focus on these individuals in the workplace.)
-The four key areas that high-achievers focus on relentlessly in their lives and work.
-How individuals from Olympic athletes, astronauts, and sports champions navigate challenges and continue to learn informally to improve their success.
-Fabulous stories describing the journeys of high achievers, including Apolo Ono, Peggy Whitson and others.
-Why framing dilemmas as: "What is the strategy I haven't thought of yet?" may be one of your keys to overcoming significant obstacles.
Dr. Gotian is a fabulous guest, and she does a wonderful job sharing her passion and commitment to helping high achievers reach their lofty goals in The Success Factor. Enjoy!
