If you want to improve your life and the lives of those around you, you must take action.

Talent (a natural way of thinking, feeling, or behaving) × Investment (time spent practicing, developing your skills, and building your knowledge base) = Strength (the ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance)

Employees who report receiving recognition and praise within the last seven days show increased productivity, get higher scores from customers, and have better safety records. They're just more engaged at work.

What works for one persons needs is almost always very different from the next.

People have several times more potential for growth when they invest energy in developing their strengths instead of correcting their deficiencies.

You cannot be anything you want to be - but you can be a whole lot more of who you already are.

The most successful people start with dominant talent—and then add skills, knowledge, and practice to the mix. When they do this, the raw talent actually serves as a multiplier.
