Work gives us an opportunity to stretch out towards our desired goals and many times actually reach them.” Brian Groves, Personal performance potential at work.Spotlighting personal performance while exploring aspects of potential, the course focuses on the human side of business, so often ignored in more traditional business courses, for the sake of understanding how we can live our potential in the world of work.
