During a recent coaching session I held with Mark Eagleton, Managing Director at Vetlink Employment Services, Mark made mention of a recent TED Talks video by Richard St.John that he had listened to. Who is Richard St.John you might ask? I have copied an extract from his biography below, as well as the link to his TED Talks video. I trust you find his presentation as stimulating as I did.
Richard St. John was on his way to the TED conference when a girl on the plane asked him, “What really leads to success?” Even though he had achieved some success, he couldn’t explain how he did it. So he spent the next ten years researching success and asking over 500 extraordinarily successful people in many fields what helped them succeed. After analyzing, sorting, and correlating millions of words of research, and building one of the most organized databases on the subject of success, he discovered The 8 Traits Successful People Have in Common and wrote the bestseller 8 To Be Great. In his books and talks, he shares a wealth of wisdom from the world’s most successful people – knowledge that can help others succeed in their own way, whether it’s escaping poverty, building a business, raising a family, or changing the world. Below is the link to Richard’s 8 Secrets presentation.
