Can You Find Personal & Professional Success through the “5 Ls”?

Episode description:  

As we move through our fast-paced lives, year after year, trying to juggle personal, family and work demands, we inevitably face a pointed question: Has my life been a success? We’d like to think so, but how would we define success? And how would we achieve it—especially when we often find ourselves buffeted by unexpected circumstances, feeling out of balance and unfulfilled? In today’s episode, I talk with Sal LaGreca and Michael Mannix, co-founders of Unparalleled Performance and co-authors of “The 5Ls,” who will take us on a pathway to personal and professional success. What are these 5 Ls, the quintessential elements of success? Love, Laughter, Labor, Leisure and Leave--together. Drawing on their combined 70+ years of work and life experiences, along with the wisdom of a roster of successful individuals, Sal and Mike tell the story behind the 5 Ls and unpack simple, but powerful, real-life learning lessons and tools that have helped individuals from all walks and stages in their life. And they’ll describe the wellness programs and services offered by their leadership company, Unparalleled Performance, which focuses on helping people achieve the balance they need to change their lives for the better.
