“The highest compliment you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day and that I never dog it.”
– Wayne Gretzky, “The Great One”
Wayne Gretzky was great—widely considered the best hockey player in history—but he was physically unassuming. Gretzky played at 6'0" and about 185 pounds. Scrawny by NHL standards.
But Gretzky was also abnormal. He studied the game. He recognized patterns from an early age.
Typically, in youth hockey, the most talented player was the most dominant because he was also bigger and faster. The typical phenom would dominate the puck and his teammates would clear out.
Not Gretzky.
Because of his size, he figured he couldn’t dominate the puck like a typical phenom. He’d get destroyed if he did that.
Instead, Gretzky studied the game. It didn't take much time for him to figure out how to incorporate his teammates into the flow of action.
Once he got his teammates involved, Gretzky always ended up in the right place at the right time.
The fact of the matter is that The Great One created his own opportunities for success by utilizing the strengths of his fellow players. He became one of the greatest teammates of all time.
As the NHL season is heating up again. So is O'Leary's Inner Sphere program. The next cohort starts in about two weeks.
Our people thrive because they have good teammates.
The Inner Sphere is not a fit for everyone. It was a fit for a few of the folks this summer.
This summer's Inner Sphere session with Brian O'Leary and his assembled cohort was invigorating, productive and certainly worth the investment. He led the group with a great mixture of support, sincerity and provocation - challenging all of us to take action outside of our comfort zones.
In addition, Brian creates a focused creative space that is conducive to team bonds forming quickly. This allows for the group to discover and share invaluable ideas, insights and suggestions in a short amount of time.
The Inner Sphere is highly recommended for those looking to gain clarity and take action on their ideas.
Teammates.
Who are my teammates—who are the ones I want in my program?
Those who don't make excuses.
The people I can count on when the pressure mounts.
The All-Stars, leaders, and consistent winners in life.

Not sure? Ask yourself:
If you were on trial for living the life of a winner, would the jury have enough evidence to convict you?
We help you with conviction.
As always,

P.S. – As far as hockey goes, I'm back to being a Sabres fan again. Any Devils fans out there, I may have a gently used ballcap and a worn t-shirt (size L). Email me if you want them. I'll gladly send them to you at my own expense.
