Failure
The Unlikely Ingredient for Success

What do failure and success have in common? Everything! If you are a baseball player and fail 70 percent of the time at bat, you are one of the best! By shifting the common relationship to failure, Wendi imparts a winner’s attitude and mindset which allows attendees to see failure as part of the process of achieving success. As Thomas Edison said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

Separating Truth from Fiction
Tune into Your Internal Dialogue

Be honest, are you listening to the reasons in your head why you can’t succeed, versus seeing clear pathways to success?  The first step begins with getting out of your own way, recognizing where you need to grow and improve, and making it happen!  Studies show that persistence, not talent, is the driving force for success.  Many people who achieved great success could not have relied on talent alone.  Wendi invites the audience to separate the truth from fiction when it comes to listening to their internal dialogue.  Thomas Edison said, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

Barriers to success
The Power of Perception

How can feeling socially excluded make a room feel like a colder temperature than it really is? How does missing a field goal cause a kicker to see a smaller field post? Wendi intersperses respected academic research with true stories of well-known success, to boldly challenge how we define reality and the impact of our interpretations upon the results that we achieve. The result is an in-depth and powerful look at how perceptions become reality—good or bad. Henry Ford said, “If you think you can or can’t do a thing, you’re right.” Wendi provides attendees with the necessary tools for altering perceptions, which can lead to outcomes that exceed expectations.

"I would heartily recommend Executive Coaching to anyone who wishes to make a breakthrough in their level of achievement, and wants to make sure that personal blind spots are not holding them back."
