Are you at the top of your game? Maybe you're a doctor and you've been recognized as the best in your field. Perhaps you're a super stay-at-home mother and the envy of all the parents at the playground. When you achieve that kind of recognition and success, Dr. Robin says it's easy to become arrogant, but you shouldn't. "You don't have to be a jerk because you are excellent; you don't have to be a jerk because you do it better," she says. "You don't have to be a snob; you don't have to act in that oh-so-powerful way if you are at the top of your game."

Dr. Robin says those really at the top of their game, in every way possible, are people who are compassionate and willing to share their expertise and are great role models for anyone looking to find success. "Partner your passion, your purpose with your skill set, and [then] you will be a winner and at the top of your game," she says.
