Read a great blog article this morning on the top 10 characteristics of superachievers – bearing in mind the amount of discussion I have facilitated on “leadership” these last few weeks, this was a good summary. http://careerintensity.com/blog/2006/07/11/superachievers%e2%80%99-top-ten/ Yesterday was my monthly meeting with Team CB to dicuss “the broad concept” of The Dental Business School:

Three days working with 10 coaches at The Grand Hotel and the first day flew by. We began by creating a mind map to answer the question “where do you want to be by 5.00pm on Saturday?”. The I updated the group on my own business progress since we last met. In the afternoon we
