High
Performance People
-
Vince Lombardi, Jr.
This highly inspirational message answers the question:
High Performance People, What Do They Do and How Do They Do It?
|
|
All high performance people, regardless of their background, share a common outlook in terms of how they perceive themselves and the world around them. We can orchestrate high performance. On Motivation, Commitment and Mental Toughness - Goals without commitment are nothing more than good ideas. In this presentation Vince talks about the qualities, attiributes and habits of a winner. How clear, vivid goals and dreams combined with commitment and mental toughness can take you from where you are to where you want to be. There are no lazy people, just people who don't know what they want or how to get it.
As the son of the late Vincent T. Lombardi, remembered as one of the greatest football coaches in history, Vince Lombardi, Jr.'s early years were spent in an atmosphere full of personal power and achievement.
Armed with honesty, integrity and authenticity, virtues he places above all others, Vince earned a law degree and maintained a private practice while serving in the Minnesota legislature.
Vince made the jump from law and politics to professional football in 1975 when he joined the fledgling Seattle Seahawks as an assistant to the General Manager. He went on to become Assistant Executive Director of the National Football League Management Council as a labor negotiator and later led two United States Football League teams as President and General Manager.
To each of these organizations Vince brought direction, enthusiasm,
and the impetus to succeed. He has the remarkable ability to put people
ahead of the organization, allowing each individual to do what he does best
without losing sight of team goals. He gained a reputation for being tough,
yet fair; uncompromising, yet supportive. The individual qualities and
character of Vince Lombardi are exciting to witness.
It is
emotionally uplifting to watch and listen to Vince Lombardi as he weaves
together his childhood experiences with his father and his adult experiences
from law, politics and professional football.
Vince Lombardi's enthusiasm
for growth, change and improved performance, blended with his strong
personality and first-hand knowledge of his legendary father's leadership
techniques makes for a dynamic presentation.
