EP 217: Dr Jim Loehr - Your Private Voice and the Strength of Your Character

<div>World-renowned performance psychologist Dr. Jim Loehr has written seventeen books. In his most recent, <em>Leading with Character: 10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant Legacy,</em> Dr Loehr contends that the single most important factor in successful achievement, personally or in business, is the strength of one’s character. He has worked with hundreds of world-class performers from sport, business, medicine, law enforcement, as well as the FBI, and has worked one-on-one with seventeen world No. 1's, and strongly contends that character strength can be built in the same way that muscle strength is built—through energy investment.</div> <ul> <li>Our most precious resource is energy.
