They laughed at me at NIH, but I was onto something BIG!
I began her career as a Research Psychologist at The National Institutes of Health (NIH). I wanted to discover what makes some people healthier and more successful than others. Months later I realized we were only studying ill and dysfunctional people, and I finally raised her hand in one of their prestigious weekly conferences and asked: “What more could we learn if we studied healthy, contributing members of society as well? I thought my audience would be excited. But instead, they laughed.
Undaunted, I spent the next 20 years shadowing ‘the greats of the planet’ and discovered 10 Skills they were using unconsciously. They could do it themselves, but they couldn’t teach it so their pursuit of success had become a threat to their health and families. They asked me to develop ways to teach their unconscious 10 Success Skills to their teams. The results were immediate and measurable!
