There are a lot of people in this world who would normally be successful, but because of the current economy, are not. This tells us that it is becoming more challenging to be successful and it is not enough to rely on skill and talent. The base layer of the success pyramid lies emotional strength. Emotional strength is the balance of being a strong and powerful leader while at the same time allowing yourself to be vulnerable. This was built on throughout the camp as these are the people who are successful.

• Success
  At the top of the pyramid, is success, the ultimate goal.

• Skill
  Underneath success, when you really want to be successful, you need to have a lot of skill. As circumstances get more challenging, the people that are most successful at still getting results have a high level of skill. When times are tough, skill becomes very important. When you have a skill you are valuable, but it does not guarantee success.

• Talent
  Raw, uninhabited, sometimes born in talent. There are some people who have talent and have not necessarily even had to work hard for it. When you train natural talent it then becomes skill, which often is trainable.

• Emotional Strength
  Underneath at the bottom layer of the pyramid is emotional strength and is what makes people successful. Often when times get tough for people, they quit, they lose, or they do whatever they can to not have to face the challenge. You have the ability to change when the conditions change and that is what is called emotional strength.
