At work and in life, there are invisible factors that greatly impact a person's odds of achieving success and happiness.
Through research compiled from over a decade of leadership development and consulting work with successful business executives, Brett Hoogeveen and his firm BetterCulture have compiled a list of 20 characteristics that achievers (‘Stars’) use to elevate themselves and those around them. Brett and his team have also identified attitudes and behaviors that negative influencers (‘Vacuums’) often unwittingly display to undermine their own success and that of those around them.
This interactive workshop will challenge every attendee to discover how well they live up to BetterCulture’s 20 Tenets of Success today, and how they can achieve greater personal, professional, and team success tomorrow
