The Prosperity Trait®
The Prosperity Trait® is a transformative, wholly positive human attribute that unlocks value creation across disciplines. Serving as the “operating system for change,” it empowers organizations and individuals to uncover and eliminate hidden costs, driving measurable results. The Prosperity Trait Index© (PTi) is a powerful tool that measures the gap between performance and potential. A higher PTi score signals greater consistency, leading to lower costs and increased productivity. By participating in LTR’s training programs, individuals strengthen their Prosperity Trait, unlocking unparalleled growth opportunities. The impact of strengthening The Prosperity Trait by even one sigma is exponential—not merely additive or multiplicative. This growth extends across financial, professional, and personal dimensions, creating a ripple effect of success and transformation. Investing in The Prosperity Trait is more than self-improvement—it’s the key to sustainable growth and exceptional results.
Stephen Long, PhD
For over 30 years, Dr. Stephen Long has studied the relationship between prosperity and waste. His behavioral analytics reveal the waste that exists in human capital, and his educational programs transform that waste into assets. Specializing in human performance, leadership effectiveness, talent optimization, and strategy execution, Dr. Long has enhanced the performance of exceptional leaders, champion athletes, fighter pilots, military special operations personnel, elite producers, and corporate executives. The author of four books, he earned his PhD from the University of Kansas, where he was honored as the Most Outstanding Doctoral Student while serving as the Director of the KU Peak Performance Clinic. He then served as the Head of Performance Psychology in the Human Performance Lab at the US Air Force Academy. A University of Utah independent study identified Dr. Long as one of North America’s top applied performance psychologists.
