One of the most brilliant people i've ever met is named sofy bacot sofeas a small business guy. He started up ten or 12 companies, made tens o millions of dollars. Wrote a book called lon shas. Consulted presidents, on and on and on. And he said he finally realized something. You can achieve a lot and be happy, vealot, be miserable. You achieve nothing and be happy. They're independent variables. If that's it, you're not going to win.

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.
