School is never out for high achievers.
These are the people who are the most successful.
They understand that the key to success is that if you are not growing and improving in all phases of your life you will be left behind.
Be it their personal or professional lives, they are always seeking knowledge of how to be better.
I am lucky.
In my job, I'm surrounded by these high achievers.
I'm heading soon to Boca Raton for a session with 30 top executives - high achievers all - who are eager to sharpen their axes.
I am also doing a session at the Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix with key people from Fletcher Music.
The question is: what will I tell these people that they don't already know? My message won't come as a surprise; it will be a blinding glimpse of the obvious.
Achievers like the ones I'll address got to their station in life by taking risks.
However, they often are the ones who are least likely to take a risk when it comes to communication.
They will learn how to take the self-confidence they have in their other professional abilities and display them in their communication to groups, to co-workers and to family members.
Passion, not perfection, makes the difference.
I'll get these high achievers on their feet several times so they can learn that it is OK to make a mistake because we are human and that is what we humans do.
Finally, they will re-learn the power of practice.
Practice made them who they are in their fields of endeavor and it can also make them powerful communicators so that they can take their game to the next level.
Although you may not be in one of my upcoming sessions, my ultimate advice to you is the same.
Spend lavishly on your personal development, so that you will continue to grow into the person you were meant to be.
