“On a beautiful late spring afternoon fifteen years ago, two young people graduated from a prestigious university. They were both ambitious and full of spunk. Recently, they attended their 15th class reunion.

They had much in common. Both were happily married. Both had two children. And both had started their careers strong, moved around a bit and are gainfully employed. They were enjoying the reunion until they found a difference… a BIG difference. One was a manager of a small department making an average salary. The other was the CEO of a company, earning five times as much, and owned millions in stock and stock options. It wasn’t just about the money… it was also about growth, range of responsibilities, position, power, influence, family harmony…

They say comparison is the thief of joy- but we just can’t help ourselves, can we?

When you look at people earning more, living better, leading the kind of life you know that you should be leading, do you wonder, ”Why not me?” or “What did I do wrong?”

Smart solutions use the 80/20 rule and focus on diagnosing and mitigating disablers that matters in your context – business leadership (ONLY adding enablers can become expensive and time-consuming). And, there isn’t one solution for everybody. It needs to be targeted at smaller groups, based on what they need – identifying each individual’s disablers and helping them mitigate them.

Many people consider themselves smart. ‘Thinking and feeling smart’ could come from a high IQ, from an elite education or achievements brings 16 psychological factors (we have identified) into play - the "Smart People Problems". Each of these factors could either be enablers or disablers, depending on the individual. For example, an enabling behavior on factor could be that you recognize your strengths and weaknesses, and team with others who complement you. On the other hand, a disabling behavior could be that you refuse to delegate to others, insisting on doing everything by yourself. There are fifteen other such factors.

We have proprietary assessments that can diagnose whether the 16 factors are enablers or disablers for an individual.

Of course, we can guide you to leverage your enablers and mitigate your disablers - so you can become an achiever - successful and better than average. Become a SMART ACHIEVER!
