Welcome to The 3 Secret Skills of Top Performers –
Powerful Lessons in Transformational Leadership

Now is the time to take action to learn if one of my courses will improve your performance and your entire company, organization, or team you lead. Sharing is Caring.

2021 will be the year of self-improvement.

Why? The virus has changed everything. It has overturned the apple cart and stopped the gravy train. Traditions like social gatherings for holidays with families, building relationships, having to work from home, be productive, worry about your kid’s schooling, and getting educated has all changed.

But what do you do? Insanity is doing more of the same but expecting better results. Where do you start? How do you improve at anything like a job, task, skill, or relationship? Do you buy a lottery ticket? That’s one strategy and you might feel hopeful for maybe a week until the drawing. Sorry, you’re not a winner. Been there, done that.

Do you go to Vegas and gamble? Roll the dice, pull the slot handle. Blow off steam. Try to forget your pain but hope to win. Maybe you flip a coin? Heads you win; tails you lose. Those odds are still only 50-50 to succeed. If your odds in Vegas were certain, there would be a never-ending line. Instead, after the fun and temporary excitement, most walk away losers.

What is most certain is you’ve got to learn to keep your expectations in line with reality. Or you’ll continue to be frustrated and mad. But at whom? Yourself? Your job? Your boss? Your spouse? Your parents? The government? Your teachers? Your coach?

Did you ever stop to consider what your skill set is?

What are you good at? Do you know most people don’t know the difference between a want and a need? We live in a world that reinforces entitlement. Kids expect and want everything for free. I’m beginning to see more adults think that way, too. What happened to work ethic, to set a goal, and value what you do to feel rewarded?

Besides meeting your needs, what do you value?

Are you willing to work to achieve that? Are you willing to delay the onset of the reward so long as you keep your eye on the result? What are your goals? How do you set realistic goals you can achieve with your skills? Seem complex to you?

You need a system to change your way of doing things, and how you think to improve.

You can’t blame everyone else. This is on YOU! So, where do you start? What do you do?

Well, for starters it is always a good plan to model what top performers have done and continue to do.

Have you heard of The Triad Performance Improvement System?

It can be applied to improve your performance in less time for whatever you choose.

Let me ask you a question. Do you know how to ride a bicycle? If yes, do you think you’ll ever forget how? Can you drive a car or small truck? Of course not. You know the SYSTEM.We all want to shorten our learning curve. Take this vitamin. Drink smart water. Eat this; not this. Lose weight. Exercise like this for only minutes each day. Work smarter not longer.

A successful coach told me these are the three most important decisions you can make. Where you are going to school, what you plan to study, and who you will marry. Do you make good short and long-term decisions? Are you aware of your past results? Happy?

So, what is your plan? What is your SYSTEM?

Keep doing more of the same and expect better results like everyone else?

Every successful top performer has found opportunity in adversity. There are opportunities out there. But you must know your strengths and weaknesses – your skills and abilities and be realistic. To be a top performer takes time. It is NOT a roll of the dice or flipping a coin. You don’t ever do well leaving your success to chance.

What if I told you The Triad Performance Improvement System can do for you what the 3 secret skills of top performers do for them? Would you like to shorten your learning curve? Ok, great! But what’s the catch? Where’s the benefit?

Do you plan to lead yourself or understand how to lead others to improve the performance of your company, organization, or team?

Is there a value in that? Yah, sure, you motivate them with the same old “carrot on the stick” extrinsic motives. Work harder, get that promised promotion or raise.

But what if you applied the P.T. Barnum philosophy? Simple. Three parts. You dream the biggest dream. You market the living hell out of it. And you treat your workers like family.

Would it be hard for you to understand your personal needs and values and possibly your goals?

What if you took the time to learn the personal needs and values and sometimes the goals of your performers (people who do the work)? Do you think they would be loyal to you, the company, organization, or team and want to do a better job?

Often what changes a person’s motivation is a simple suggestion rather than a demand proclamation. A demand implies extrinsic – do this or expect a consequence. Who cares? But when you make a suggestion, that changes to a far more powerful intrinsic motive for a meaningful and relevant reason to improve and get a better result.

Are you a leader who expects everyone to do better but can’t apply the same expectations to yourself?

People see through that immediately and lose respect. How many motivational speakers have you heard, but get the impression they can’t do what they are telling you to do? While entertaining, many people go back to their old habits in 48 hours.

Are you inspired? Those speakers have the message, “If I can do it, you can do it.” Well, that feeling may last a week like the lottery ticket. None of those are permanent to effect performance improvement.

You need a transformation to effect permanent change.

Your personality traits are largely formed by the age of two or three. What changes are your personality patterns in how you view and react in your environment. Those can be modified. Top performers have learned to do that.

You also have a pre-frontal cortex that is the switching yard to place incoming sensations in the correct place in your brain. We think, for example, that visual patterns are placed in your occipital lobe to be stored with other like patterns to associate and make better responses.

Unfortunately, your pre-frontal cortex in front of your frontal lobe behind your forehead is not fully developed until age 23-25! Can you believe young people think texting and driving is OK? Decisions, decisions. How do you make better ones at any age?

For over 50 years I’ve had a hobby of studying top performers so I could model what they do and, hopefully, be a top performer, too. I noted how Stephen Covey did the same kinds of observations to describe in his bestselling book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People.

I observed there are 3 secret skills common to most all top performers.

So, if you plan on being a top performer to improve your quality of life, income, relationships, or skills you would do well to model what they do.

So, now you are thinking, who needs this? And maybe you don’t. But if you were honest with yourself, you must see some room for personal growth. Top performers keep improving. Any top performer is a lifelong learner. They have a need to keep getting better. They could be the best teller at your local branch bank or the best custodian at your kid’s elementary school. You don’t have to be the pro star athlete to be a top performer in your field of expertise. But you must want to keep improving.

Would you like to learn what 3 secret skills top performers do?

Would you like to shorten your learning curve to improve your performance in less time and apply to your job, a task, skill, or relationship?

If you have any desire to make 2021 and beyond your chance to bet on yourself and improve your odds for success, then this is your time to take advantage of the opportunities that are out there.

A wise man sees opportunities. An intelligent man takes advantage of them.

This is YOUR opportunity to learn a proven SYSTEM of top performers. Will you be wise or intelligent to see the value of transforming yourself so you can better lead yourself and others?

Of course, there is the book, The 3 Secret Skills of Top Performers – Powerful Lessons in Transformational Leadership.

But most people who read self-help books only read the first few chapters. They rarely follow through and change. Is this YOU? Start but don’t follow through.

To help you master the 3 secret skills you can learn each independently, but you will apply them interdependently for the rest of your life – remember, like riding a bicycle. So, is that worth your time? Is it worth learning how to improve your performance in less time for any job, task, skill, or relationship? Would this help improve your quality of life and perhaps your relationships and income? You bet it would.

Once you learn The Triad Performance Improvement System your life starts a permanent transformation with increasingly more positive results.

Will this guarantee success 100% of the time? No, of course not. But compared to gambling, making a guess, or flipping a coin your odds for success will be much better than 50%. It is almost guaranteed if you don’t succeed, 95% of the time you can walk away having learned from your experience and keep improving. Does that sound good to you?

I had to learn the hard way so I can help you shorten your learning curve now. I am a behaviorist, author, speaker, coach, and publisher. I am just an average guy who tries to do a better than average job. My philosophy is I want everyone to learn how to think, act, and do for themselves, and eventually help others to do the same. My mission to transform leaders to use more intrinsic motives based on learning the personal needs and values of the performers doing the work.

I was a runt growing up, so, I got picked on a lot. But that all changed my freshman year in college when I grew 5 ½ inches and gained 32 pounds, took third in the country at the National AAU Swimming Championships, and went on to be a five-time NCAA Division I All-American.

As a teacher and coach, I was always the head swim coach, and directed and lead large aquatic facilities and programs in high schools and a university. I coached All-American collegiate women and high school boys.

To improve my income and family I left education for twenty years to quickly advance in business circles from national sales trainer for a large medical manufacturer/distributor to hospital rep, regional manager, and owner of a rep company.

During these years I founded a newspaper syndicate, Sports Advisor Features to publish my weekly column The Sport Psychology Advisor. The column appeared in about thirty papers in the Chicago and Milwaukee suburbs. I learned professional athletes on the Chicago Bears and Bulls teams were reading my columns.

By then I had achieved my Ph.D. with studies focused on behavioral, educational, and personality psychology. For my dissertation I was able to test our 1972 U.S. Men’s Olympic Swimming team on a novel goal setting task and correlate their scores to a personality factor inventory. By 1974 I believe I knew more about goal setting than any man in the world. And most of what you’ve been told is incorrect.

Goal setting can be a definite problem for most people,

But I explain how to help you with that. You form a perceptual-anchoring point about which you decide whether to increase or decrease your goals. I defined personality types as group, verbal, and self differently than Type A or B. You may be surprised to learn what type sets goals for best results.

To make a difference, I made a conscious decision to go back to my roots in education after twenty years in the business world. I took post-graduate courses in educational administration to be certified first as a school principal administrator, and after two years of service and more courses a school superintendent.

Trust me when I say leading a seven-member lay school board with different opinions about budgets, education and curricular studies is a lot different than marketing medical products and services to hospitals. How to transform teachers with better methods to motivate students to higher achievement is also challenging.

So, I have experiences in athletics, business, and education.

The messaging is different, and so is what parents would say to their children or individuals who want to be top performers like students, or leaders to employees, and other kinds of performers.

As for relationships for the general group, I have experiences with two ex-wives, and I am happily married for over thirty-six years. Three months into my Ph.D. program my first wife and I had triplet boys to go along with my three-year-old son. I had carried over an extra eleven semester hours from my master’s degree program so I could complete a three-year program in two years. Have you ever been motivated by a great need to perform?

After teaching and coaching in a university environment, we divorced, and I returned to teach in a high school again. Perhaps I remarried too soon and had another fifth son. Several years later in the business world I met my third wife, and we finally have a daughter. We are blessed with fifteen grandchildren. All my children have college degrees and successful careers because I taught them personal accountability with The Triad Performance Improvement System!

I continue to see parents and leaders struggling with how to motivate themselves and those they lead to higher achievement. Is this you?

Remember that insanity definition? Do you plan to keep doing the same old behaviors but expecting different results?

There are four separate 7-module courses with specific messaging designed to meet your needs.  Click Here to Learn More.

The general course is for parents, late high school and older students, and individuals. Other courses are for leaders to share this training for their entire business, education, and athletics organization. This would include CEO’s, managers, supervisors, directors, administrators, teachers, and coaches.

2021 and beyond is your turning point. It is time to transform how you think and do for yourself to get better results. But will you take the challenge or keep doing what you are comfortable doing the same things?

These are transformational courses. This means they will help you make permanent changes in your behavior to better yourself and those you lead.
