Welcome to all Business disciplines and their Respective Affiliate Groups
Keynote Presentation
"Overcoming Obstacles" Reggie Rivers, Keynote Speaker
Everyone knows how to ‘set’ goals, but most of us haven’t been taught how to ‘achieve’ those goals. Many
people will eventually figure out some strategy that they can use to achieve their goals, but many others won’t.
Wouldn’t it be nice to learn some basic strategies about achievement that professional athletes have learned
from coaches or from sports psychologist or from their own experience?
If your goal is to get an “A” in a class, to exceed your sales targets at work, to earn a promotion, to start a
business, to lose weight, to raise happy and healthy children, to complete a degree, to win a championship or to
do anything else that requires ambition, stamina and motivation over a long period of time, you need to learn the
strategies that pro athletes use to achieve peak performance.
