PRESS RELEASE

Bill Gates, Bono, Oprah Winfrey and Lance Armstrong have reached the pinnacle of achievement in their individual walks of life, but what do they really have in common?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Atlanta, GA, August 28, 2010– They all found out that ultimate success comes through the power of relationships. They discovered that by themselves they were limited, but by adding strategic advisors to their life and business, they were unlimited! The new book, The 40:40 Principle, examines how authentic relationships with those on both sides of 40 will help you achieve the success and fulfillment you desire at work and at home.

“My grandfather used to say ‘the secret to life is when you’re under 40, seek to gain wisdom from those over 40, and when you’re over 40, do the same with those under 40’. It’s a reverse mentoring process, one where you intentionally gain wisdom, versus intentionally giving wisdom. In a day and age where relationships are random and shallow, The 40:40 Principle offers a system to gain and develop strategic, lasting relationships,” said author Andy Christiansen, a professional, certified life coach, the founder of High Capacity Leaders and co-creator of the no-calorie fruit flavored spring water Fruit2O.

Christiansen’s passion over the past 20 years has been to work with leaders who have a desire to impact the world around them and help them uncover their sweet spots. His one-on-one mentoring with hundreds of corporate leaders coupled with his own life experiences led him to write The 40:40 Principle so that others might learn how impactful relationships can be in guiding personal and professional success.

The 40:40 Principle demonstrates that tapping into a network of acquaintances, friends and co-workers, both older and younger, will bring valuable advice and life lessons based on experience and wisdom. Strategic, intentional relationships with wise, trustworthy people of all ages are the key ingredient to achieving success in life.

The 40:40 Principle is published by WestBow Press, a division of Thomas Nelson.

Clear Vision

by andy.christiansen on August 19, 2010

How important is having a clear vision?

If there’s a mist in the pulpit, there’ll be a  fog in the congregation!

This principle is true in life and in business.

How clear is your vision?  Once it’s clear to you, ask yourself, “How clear is this vision to my team my staff and my family?”  Most initial visions can be scratched out on a paper napkin in less than 5 minutes. Try it today!

Leadership 2.0

Simply put, it focuses on getting results as equal to or greater than everything else we do, while leadership 2.0 focuses on developing people as equal [...]
