This is part of the Institute for Management Studies (IMS) Leadership Conversations.
These 60-minute IMS live virtual programs provide a quick dive into key topics that are critical to organizations during a time of disruptive change. Packed with actionable learning strategies, participants will experience an interactive virtual program with an IMS thought leader and receive post-session support through micro-learning lessons and a discussion board.
Nobody wakes up in the morning aiming to be average. Many people want to be successful but don’t know how to do it. They have the potential but need a proven approach. Based on research and in-person interviews with astronauts, Nobel laureates, CEOs, and Olympic champions, Dr. Gotian outlines a proven approach that individuals aspiring to improve their performance can adopt to achieve success.
High achievers share the same four attributes (intrinsic motivation, perseverance, strong foundation, and lifelong learning). Based on the book The Success Factor and using these four shared attributes as a guide, this program helps you reach peak performance by applying the lessons of high achievers in your own life: identify your passion using a passion audit; learn how and where to find a mentor and how to build a mentoring team; develop your own community of mentors; pursue your interests through informal learning and manage your time and energy.
