I had the honor of having a couple of classes in college with Rich Diviney. Rich wrote this AWESOME book called The Attributes: The 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance. I absolutely love his book and I highly recommend it. Here's a little bit about Rich:

"Rich Diviney is a retired Navy SEAL Commander. In a career spanning more than twenty years, he completed more than thirteen overseas deployments-eleven of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan. As the officer in charge of training for a specialized command, he spearheaded the creation of a SEAL directorate that fused physical, mental, and emotional disciplines. He led his small team to create the first ever "Mind Gym" in Naval Special Warfare that helped SEALs train their brains to perform faster, longer, and better, especially in high-stress environments. Since his retirement, Diviney has worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant, training more than five thousand business, athletic, and military leaders. Rich also works with Simon Sinek's organization, Start With WHY."

Rich is such a cool, kind, and loving guy. It's a pleasure to know him. You can take a free assessment on his website to measure your attributes at www.theattributes.com. I highly recommend that you purchase his book too. Thanks Rich! :-)
