On today's episode I welcome Dr. Ruth Gotian, the Chief Learning Officer and Associate Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Fresh from the Olympics in Paris, Dr. Gotian shares her experiences studying high achievers like Nobel Prize winners, astronauts, NBA champions, and Olympians. She discusses the palpable energy at the Olympic Games, the importance of preparation and behind-the-scenes work, and the critical significance of rest for high achievers.

Dr. Gotian further delves into her unconventional career path, her focus on what makes people stay in challenging programs rather than why they leave, and the importance of having mentors. She highlights the profound value of mentorship, showcasing her book 'Financial Times Guide to Mentoring,' co-authored with Andy Lopata.

The discussion includes practical advice on starting conversations with potential mentors and creating effective mentoring programs within organizations. Dr. Gotian also offers resources for listeners to enhance their understanding and application of mentorship and success mindsets.
