3. OUR QUEST
“What do the
world’s highest-performing,
most successful, most fulfilled people
DO DIFFERENTLY?”
4. Because clearly it’s NOT EASY.
THREE HUGE, AWFUL,
DEBILITATING PROBLEMS
FEAR
FATIGUE
FRUSTRATION
5. So how do the world’s most successful people
overcome fear, fatigue and frustration and implement
the RIGHT strategies and habits to dramatically advance
their lives and careers?
Well that’s what this is about…. But first…
6. Start.
Work hard.
Be passionate.
Focus on your strengths.
Practice a lot.
Be grateful.
Stick to it.
What’s not working. You probably already do this stuff.
What leads to initial success is not sufficient for long-term success.
7. How do YOU reach the NEXT LEVEL
of abundant success (while avoiding burnout and false
obligations)? That’s what I want to teach you today based
on the world’s largest study of high performers.

9. High Performance: Field Assessment
9
Areas of Investigation
Why do some individuals and teams succeed
more quickly
than others and sustain that success over
the long term?
Of those who pull it off, why are some
miserable and others happy on the
journey?
What motivates people to reach for higher
levels of success in the first place, and what
kinds of habits, training, and support help
them continue to improve?
1,000,000 High Performance
Indicators Assessments, 300,000
organizational employees, 3000+
high performance coaching sessions,
analyzed data from 1,600,000 online
students.
Analyzed 100+ performance
variables and found the 6 habits that
are deliberate, observable, malleable,
trainable and effective across
domains.
Global surveys / Structured one-on-
one interviews / Data analytics /
Academic literature review / Coaching
insights from 3,000+ high
performance coaching sessions /

11. High Performance
11
is defined as:
• Succeeding beyond standard norms….
• Consistently over the long term…
• While maintaining well-being and positive
relationships…
It feels like the “full engagement,”
“joy,” and “confidence”
that comes from giving your absolute best.
12. The Findings
Not what most people think….
High performance is not strongly correlated with
age, gender, nationality, intelligence,
personality, strengths, creativity, empathy,
years of experience, or compensation.
13. High performers do not report working on
their strengths any more than other people do.
The question they ask is less often
“Who am I and what am I good at?” and more often
“What is required to be of service here,
and how can I grow into that
or lead others to deliver service?”
It’s not all about strengths, either…
You can have all the strengths in the world,
but without the right habits you don’t get anything done.
14. So what?
The real questions become:
HOW did high performers get that way?
HOW did they develop those habits?
HOW do they keep growing and succeed long-term?
