This was a presentation to entrepreneurs at a private KPI event on Friday 19th April 2013. There are many tips for success. In the 2012 Olympics, the British Cycling Team used the expression "the aggregation of marginal gains" ... not the application of one thing that made the difference to their success, but a number of smaller things which together amounted to make a big difference. I am a strong believer in this philosophy, and my book Raise Your Game is an amlgamation of tips for success that you can apply immediately. This presentation was about 3 tips, the importance of positive emotions, of focusing on having positive memories and the application of strengths to overcome problems. I tend not to use wordy slides. If you would like more information - I can make the audio available - or contact me.
