Episode notes

Life is not like engineering school. We're all just guessing here. And sometimes i'd make the right decision and it didn't work because of other variables i can't control. That's life. Some smart people believe life is basically random chaos. Number two is, i control it. So let's talk about four dimensions. Dimension one is lo on, low oncontrolled by others. Low on, control myself. The purpose of this book is to move a difference in how we look at our environment. I am controlled by triggers in my environment. To a degree, we are trolled by the world - but that doesn't stop us from making decisions which will improve our quality of life

My guest today is Marshall Goldsmith, one of the world’s leading executive coaches.

We discuss the surprising lessons he’s learned coaching some of the best CEOs in the world, where confidence comes from, common mistakes leaders make, why changing behavior is easier than changing perception, how to change others’ perceptions when you change your behavior, the three words that kill any conversation, the relationship between intensity and consistency, and so much more.
