The Code of the Exceptional, Vol. 1

Abraham Maslow, a pioneer and sage in the field of psychology, once said, "In any given moment, we have two choices: step forward into growth or step backward into safety." In one sentence, he aptly defined one of the prominent differences between the average and the world-class. The tribe that makes up the world-class are different for one very simple reason, they "step forward" more often than not. After coaching and working with some of the world's top performers, Dr. Brian Epperson, professor, executive coach, and founder of Human Performance Advisors, an executive development firm gives a snapshot into the world-class.

The Code of the Exceptional is a step-by-step summary of these exceptional people's code and their practices. These are their lessons, their teachings. We don't stand on the shoulders of giants to worship or venerate, we stand on the shoulders of giants to accept what they have gifted us and then utilize their contribution to fashion and expedite our mark in history.
