Keynote Speaker Draws Similarities Between Sports, Business Success

By user InsuranceNewsNet
The best-selling author of nearly 50 sports books drew parallels between the sports world and the business world at today's keynote presentation at the NAILBA Annual Meeting in Hollywood, Fla.
Ross Bernstein spoke on "The Champion's Code: Building Relationships Through Life Lessons of Integrity and Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World." In his presentation, Bernstein cited his research that concluded the same metrics and characteristics that were common among champions in sports, were also common in peak performers in business. At the core of his message is thefact that we like to do business with people who we trust, who we like, and who just “get it.”
Here is a sampling of tweets from NAILBA36.
