Soaring To New Heights in Business and Life

Attaining the unattainable is not just for the elite few. In fact, we can all accomplish much more in life than we ever considered possible. The question for most of us is HOW? How can we strive for things that we would really like to have but may seem impossible to achieve? How can we truly reach a high level of excellence in both our professional and personal life?

Captain William “T” Thompson uses his life’s challenges and personal story in The Flight to Excellence to show us how.

“T” proves that achieving unbelievable success is not only possible, but highly probable by following a proven method that he developed, refined and used during his entire career. He credits his P4 System (Principles, People, flight Plan and Performance) as the foundation that enabled him to literally pilot his way to success and ultimately become a multimillionaire in the process.

The Flight to Excellence takes us on a journey that inspires and instructs executives, entrepreneurs, and anyone with a strong desire to reach extraordinary heights in life. This book also offers a straightforward approach on how to build a “Culture of Excellence” in organizations and institutions by applying these clear concepts in a methodical process. The ultimate proof is in the captain’s own successes.

“Captain T”, the quintessential “Renaissance Man” has done it yet again, i.e., taken a trajectory outside  his core flight plan as a pilot, lawyer, businessman, government official, civic leader, philanthropist, and motivational commentator, to develop a world-class primer on personal development and business success.  As he is himself “a man for all seasons”, so too is this tome a vital handbook for folks in all stages of personal development to employ mechanisms to jet to their destiny.”
