About the Book

Why do some people achieve great heights in life while others struggle? It’s not just luck; luck only takes you so far. It’s not just hard work; many people work diligently their entire lives and never attain their goals. So what’s the secret to success and happiness?

Recruitment consultant, author, and inspirational speaker Andrew LaCivita believes there’s no single path to success. Ask fifty successful people their secret and you’ll get fifty different answers, none of which might work for you.

Those same fifty people, however, have something in common. They understand the importance of identifying, analyzing, setting, and achieving their goals. They don’t just enjoy accomplishing goals—they enjoy the journey toward accomplishment.

Out of Reach but in Sight is based on a speech LaCivita made to a three-hundred-member audience on the importance of proper goal-setting for achievements and happiness. Once you know the formula for setting and achieving goals, you can develop your own, unique path to success.

They have interviewed four-star generals, Fortune They have interviewed four-star generals, Fortune 500 CEOs, and Olympic athletes. And after all of it, Jan keeps coming back to the same thing. The leaders who left the biggest mark on him were not the ones with the most impressive titles or the most polished answers. They were the ones who walked in curious about Jim and Jan. The ones who asked questions instead of just answering them. Be interested. Care about people. Be nice. It really is that simple and that rare. Clear 40 minutes and give this one your full attention. https://bit.ly/TLP-YT-511?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=westudyleaders#leadershippodcast #leadership #podcast #selfreliantleadership #leadershipdevelopment #executivecoaching #leadyourself
