Achievement Thinking In Tough Times
John Hotowka
About the Session
Introduction
A toolkit to build self-motivation and achievement when the going gets tough. It doesn't matter how 'tough' you are there will always be someone or something bigger that knocks you off your feet. When it does happen (and it does to everyone as it is right now with the Coronavirus crisis) the key is to be resilient; to have the right tools and methods to enable you to bounce back and keep pushing through.
During his time in the corporate world and later running a small business that boasted nearly half the blue-chip companies in the UK as clients, John learnt a lot about success and later he learnt a lot about resilience. He observed that, even when times are hard, there were always people and organisations who were successful and resilient. What’s more, they also flourished irrespective of the state of the economy and the challenges thrown at them. He wondered if this "Achievement Thinking" mind-set could be learned… He discovered that it could.
John also realised that all the training and knowledge in the world won’t help you achieve outstanding results unless you have the right mind-set, attitude and resilience to be self-motivated. Above all else, you need to Take Action!
