Successful people have certain characteristics in common. These individuals are in our circles. They encourage us, inspire us...we are better for having known them. Over fifteen years ago, I made a list of my most favorite people on the planet and began to examine their influence and what made them so special. They achieved much in their personal lives as well as in their work. I found that each of them was a S.T.A.R. and I uncovered their secrets on how they became that way. We will unpack essential, practical, and life-altering information that you can put into practice today.

Course Key Concepts: Success, Inspiration, Leadership, Development, Personal, Professional, Engagement, Life IQ, Neil Ihde, Fun.

I especially liked all the personal stories you told that drove home a concept as well as the self deprecating humor and humorous slides. I really enjoyed your presentation.

I like the course's quotes and focus on self-awareness as I have found that I am often the source of my problems :) For some reason actually identifying people I know and admire in this context as he suggests in the beginning really drove home a lot of the content.

This was a good, informative course. Neil uses a lot of real-life examples to help convey his message, and the format is easy to understand. He provides a lot of great quotes as he mentioned other books that one could reference for additional learning/growth.

All good stuff and entertaining. A little long for the content so I listed at 1.5x speed. Pleasurable and worth the time.

Interesting concept of STAR, but I found the materials to be tedious and overdone on the photos and metaphors.
