Coach Jim Harrick, who led the 1995 NCAA Champion UCLA Bruins, shares the hard-earned leadership principles he has lived by — alongside their original creator, legendary coach John Wooden. Together they explore the famous Pyramid of Success: a timeless blueprint for how to live a meaningful life and build a winning character in any arena.

In the 1930s, Coach Wooden began developing the philosophy that became the Pyramid of Success. Studied and applied by tens of thousands of people, it has proven its power across generations. Wooden won ten NCAA national championships in a 12-year period — seven in a row — and built a legacy that transcends sports.

Jim Harrick brings the Pyramid to life for today's leaders. Whether you are managing a team, building a career, or simply trying to become your best self, the lessons here apply to every high-pressure situation you will ever face. You will discover how to compete with the top performers in today's demanding world while staying true to your values and maintaining balance in your life.

This program delivers practical action steps alongside timeless wisdom — a rare combination that makes the Pyramid of Success as relevant today as when Wooden first conceived it.
