The Commonalities of Extreme High-achievers

Cut Through the Noise with Dave Turano

The definition of success changes based on who you ask. Today, we hear from Dr. Ruth Gotian, coach, educator, and author, who studied extreme high-achievers, from Nobel Prize-winners to Olympians, for the commonalities that make them thrive. Dr. Gotian found that no matter their field, all high-achievers prioritize growth, and they’re more afraid of not trying than they are afraid of failing. So how can we all be higher achievers? It starts with not necessarily finding what you’re good at, but finding what you’re passionate about. Find Dr. Gotian’s The Success Factor wherever books are sold. Want to try her Passion Audit?
