Marshall Goldsmith on Pivoting Towards Success as a Leader Nov 25, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Andy Storch gives you access to one of the interviews from his recent online event, The Talent Development Virtual Summit. He sits down with Marshall Goldsmith, the # Leadership Coach, to discuss:

How things have changed
Accepting what is and not becoming fixated on outcomes you can’t control
Focusing on the process

And so much more!

The most interesting part of the interview is when Marshall coaches me live during the interview. I was not at all prepared for this, and I'm not even sure if I responded well but I wanted to share it with you to listen and form your own opinion.

Marshall also endorsed my new book, Own Your Career Own Your Life, which you can get on Amazon now! .

And you can find the video recording from this and all the sessions in from the Talent Development Virtual Summit now available inside the member vault of the Talent Development Think Tank community I run.

In this episode, the tables are turned as Andy Storch gets into the hot seat. Andy brings in a good friend of his, executive coach Massimo Backus to interview him about his new book, Own Your Career Own Your Life, which just came out on November 16^th. Andy brings in so much valuable wisdom on careers, success and fulfillment that you would want nothing short of grabbing your own copy of the book and just devouring it. The next best thing is to listen to this episode, of course, where we get a front row experience of the thought leader behind the book. Listen in as he talks about his thought processes when he wrote the book, as well as some of his most standout insights on dealing with failure, taking charge of your career and homing in on your own definition of success.
