This guy is great and has really seemed to be the common thread through alot of these speakers this weekend. He is leading what he calls a strength's s revolution. He has 3 bestseller books and a 1st class set of videos you can check out his site here.


Here are the notes....

*Excellence is not the opposite of failure. Bad inverted is not bad which is different then great.
*This line of thinking would say that because all bad marriages have arguing that arguing is a sign of a bad marriage. This is not true healthy marriages have arguing.
*You only learn about excellence by studying excellence. We want to study the bad to learn what not to do but this does not work.
*What percentage of your day do you spend playing to your strengths.
*People are not our greatest asset . Peoples strengths are our greatest asset.
*3 Myths
1. As you grow your personality changes. (for proof think of your high school reunion)
The truth is that as you grow you become more of who you are.
2. You will grow most in your weaknesses.
The truth is you will grow most where you are already strong.
3. A great team member puts his strings aside for the sake of the team.
*The truth is a great team has individuals who know and use their strengths.
*Warren Buffet was playing to his strengths when he gave away his 31 Billion Dollars.
*He said Bill Gates can GIVE IT AWAY BETTER THEN I CAN!
*He then said that he respects charity enough to know that you don't want a guy like him giving it away. He knows how to make money not give it away.
*Play to your strengths.
