Research suggests that there are many characteristics that contribute to an individual making it to the top of their sport or industry. Less information exists however about the critical elements that make the real difference and catapult people to the dizzy heights of the Olympics, Global Business or West End success. Here, success means a person being at the top of their game, achieving significant results and being championed by others as a Winner; a success that others only aspire to achieve. As a result, this research works to understand the ingredients that make up a ‘Winning Attitude’. In this episode, our very own Chief Psychology Officer Dr. Amanda Potter is being interviewed by Angela Malik.
