Exciting Times at Work

The owner/founder of the company I work for has been working on a book that encompasses the principles from the coaching programs we sell. He originally started out as a tennis coach but soon realized that the knowledge he was "bestowing" on his students was creating a lot of interference in how they performed. They were so worried about thinking about everything they'd been taught that it actually interfered with performing at a high level. Over time he created a process of getting rid of the interference and focusing on what's most important in order to perform at the highest level possible. He then transferred these same principles into the business world and we now use them to help managers/leaders help employees perform at their highest level. He has continued to work with athletes in the tennis and golf world but the success of his company has proven that these principles are universal. His book was completed a few months ago and is being launched officially this week. A LOT of work has gone into completing the requirements in order to launch this book on the New York Times Best Seller list and it also launched as #1 on Amazon. We had a launch party on Monday to celebrate this great accomplishment and we look forward to continued success with the book!! I am grateful to be a part of this organization, and I'm grateful that they are flexible with me and my hours so I can be home with my kids when they are home from school...a complete win/win!

The books being proudly displayed on the conference table. It is called "You Already Know How to Be Great (Subtitle: A Simple Way to Remove Interference and Unlock Your Greatest Potential) The King Chess piece is displayed on the table because on the cover it shows a Pawn in the front with the King in the shadow behind.

This is actually a cake make in the likeness of the book. Amazing!!!
Cookies also made in the likeness of the book...yes we all went away on a sugar high!! :)
