The only true competitive advantages are gained by investing in the mental and emotional skills of your people, and their relationships with each other.
Recently we were over in the University of Notre Dame, which is a phenomenal place and we enjoyed our time there. It was at the ‘Play Like a Champion’ Conference and myself and Liz, we both presented a presentation to the whole audience and we spoke specifically about developing mental toughness or if you like resiliency.
