What Do Entrepreneurs and Olympic Athletes Have in Common?
Last night I watched as incredible men and women athletes skated down a mountain wall of ice or boarded up one. World athlete leader after another, I began to find the common denominators. They all felt overwhelmed with guilt and disappointment when they lost, they all showed a combo look of fear and confidence before they started, and they all…gave it their all.
I was sitting on the floor looking up at the TV thinking, “Man that’s impressive.

Learning How to Work With Challenging People and Situations in the Workplace
“The Grass Blows, The Wind Blows, and People Do What They Do.”

Online Evolutions to Release in 7 Days
I started the Insightful Development website because I have this urge deep inside to share my knowledge – to make an impact on the world. I have felt so blessed in my life… overcoming many great challenges with the help of others. I want to be that person for someone else.
I am preparing right now to finish the very final draft on the first book I wrote, “What the Heart Wants: A Teen’s Journey From Lost to Found”. I think this will be a very important book for young people who struggle to know what to do in a variety of situations. I wrote this 200 page book 5 years ago and have been on-again-off-again ever since. It’s not that I didn’t believe in the story… I just couldn’t seem to find the right editor or publisher… until now.

Recruiting Tips to Achieve Higher Show to Training than Company Average
During my 5 years at Vector I ran hundreds of 90 minute group interviews to thousands of people and loved it. I achieved a 20% higher show to training than the average for recruiters in the company.

Below you will find my tips for recruiters.
The hope is that by implementing these very tips into your recruiting structure, you too can get 20% higher averages than the rest of the recruiters in your company.
