Book of the Month

Ron Price

 

At Talent Journey, we believe that every person holds potential within themselves.  This month we recommend a thought provoking book that echoes that feeling.  In "Treasure Inside", Ron Price inspires readers to discover a balance of mind, heart, body and spirit to identify their own human potential and maximize the treasure they hold inside. 

 

We highly recommend Ron's book if you want to live a life optimizing your full human potential -discover your inside treasure.

Greetings!

 

The goal of our monthly Talent Journey Leadership Brieifing is to provide leaders short articles of current trends and opportunities that maximize the potential of your organization.

 

We believe that people are the foundation of any business and that each one of us has gifts and talents, that if identified and utilized can greatly benefit your organization.  People make the difference in implementation of your business mission.

 

It is critical to identify our blind spots, areas that we are unaware of that inhibit our contribution.  We all have blind spots and so do teams of people.  In this month's leadership brieifing, Diane Kucala points out some quick tools to help discover blind spots.

 

In pursuit of identifying blind spots, we are offering our readers the opportunity to take a COMPLIMENTARY online assessment designed to identify your strengths and potential blind spots.  The COMPLIMENTARY assessment is available until March 16, 2012.

 

If you think your Team or organization would benefit from an assessment of blind spots, please contact us.  We design customized solutions to meet your needs and help you succeed in maximizing the potential of your people to implement your organizational mission!
