QUOTE WORTH REMEMBERING
COURAGE is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway!
--John Wayne
########################################
PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE "CAPTAIN"
What does top talent look like?
I have spent most of my professional life understanding
and developing people to become better at what they do.
But sad to say, our society has viewed its workforce as a
disposable commodity, only to be hired and fired at will
based merely on the bottom line. This is a sad situation
and the consequences will be felt for years to come.
What I have learned is many organizations overlook
some of their best people. At a glance, some of these
individuals may not fit the traditional mold of what
we consider "top talent." Maybe they don't have
the education, or may look unusual or speak in a
different way. Despite these superficial factors, this
should not limit us from seeing their true potential.
Transforming them will take time, patience and more
importantly leadership. The investment will always pay for
itself a thousand fold.
When Susan Boyle first walked on stage on Britain's Got
Talent 2009, you knew she was doomed. She did not
fit the traditional mold of what people expected a talented
performer to look like. It was not until she sang "I've
Dreamed a Dream" did the real Susan Boyle emerge.
The rest is history.
Each of us struggle with some form of inferiority and insecurity.
We all have a deep desire to be successful, to reach our
potential and to achieve our dreams. As leaders, we have
the responsibility to help each other achieve that goal.
By doing so we each become winners.
A leader is someone who sees people not for what they are,
but for what they can become.

THE ENORMOUS POWER OF MENTORING
Of those who have had an extremely helpful mentoring
experience, 95 percent said it motivated them to do their
very best, 88 percent said it made them less likely to leave
their company, and 97 percent said it contributed to their
success at the company. Half the people in a study of 35
individuals who participated in a mentoring program said
the mentoring experience "changed their life."

NICE TO HAVE HAPPY CLIENTS
"Faced for the first time with a need to begin Management
level learning for 50 managers, Nicholas & Company needed
an easy-to-deploy, consistent, and meaningful assessment.
I chose Greg Smith's behavior surveys because of their
amazing accuracy, but more importantly, for Greg's strong
knowledge on how to understand this tool. With his piercing
insight, and amazing ability to coach on the results, I found we
had discovered a gold mine so rich I have designed a year's
worth of management training, customized to each manager,
based on the information contained in each person's assessment.
If you are the captain of your ship, Greg is the trusted navigator
who will get you where you wish to go."
