Jane Hight is the founder of Effective Business Communication, a training and professional speaking company focused on actions beyond education and technical skills that drive success. She is the author of several books, including bestselling Navigating the Lipstick Jungle.

Her curiosity about what makes the winning difference began when she left home as a young student to study at Oxford University. It was in England that she first noticed that it was not simply education. Learning the definitive answer to her question came later through face-to-face encounters with many of the most legendary winners on the planet with a chance to ask what others with only theories had not: "What made the winning difference to your success?" Not a single superstar mentioned education, technical skill, talent, luck, body-build, or money.

Jane Hight weaves winners' secrets and stories with in-depth research to provide a lodestar guide to peak performance that is indispensible for anyone who wants to win.
