What's the Critical Succcess Factor?

How can we be happier, more successful, more effective, achieve more goals and enjoy your work more ... without more things?

Delegates at the Baptist Care Australia Conference in Cairns last week heard Ben Teefy tell us that 96% of success starts with me.

This is how Ben is described in the promos: 

With a mixture of study in sociology, language, theology and counselling, Ben’s brain is severely warped making him the humorous, quirky and dynamic communicator he is today.

Having suffered depression and anxiety from the age of 11 until he was 24 years old, Ben has a powerful testimony of transformation which brings hope and encouragement to people weighed down in brokenness. 

He used the word "arrow" to get across his point that it is not more money, a better boss, more supportive teams, or a better education:

A -  Awareness of self and others: the effect of our personality on others, as well as the strengths, weaknesses and emotions of myself and others;

R - Restraint. Recognise my own emotions and manage them in a healthy way;

R - Resiliency. The ability to bounce back from tragedy, injustice and adversity.

O - Others. Discern the feelings and motives of others.

W - Working with others. Learn to communicate, resolve conflicts, relate to and lead others, understand and work with different personality types.
