From Situational Leadership to Coaching Titans Marshall shares the pivotal moments that launched his career in leadership coaching. From collaborating with Paul Hersey on Situational Leadership to developing his revolutionary coaching model, Marshall shares how aligning his methods with results-driven outcomes has shaped his approach. “I always get paid after the results. This keeps the focus where it belongs—on the client's success, not mine.” Counterintuitive Lessons in Leadership Winning too much, overcompetitiveness, and making coaching about the leader instead of the team—Marshall uncovers the surprising obstacles that hold even top leaders back. He highlights the importance of working with great people and the discipline to focus on their growth over personal validation. And Marshall shares an insight that is critical for Scrum Masters: “Leadership isn't about proving yourself; it's about helping others succeed.” Coaching Global Leaders: The Process Having coached CEOs of companies like Pfizer, Ford, and Walmart, as well as global influencers, Marshall dives into his coaching process. He explains the importance of courage, humility, and discipline and introduces how his new AI bot enhances his coaching framework with over 3 million words of distilled leadership wisdom. “Great coaching starts with great clients. My process is about helping them achieve their potential, not mine.” The Birth of MarshallGoldsmith.AI Marshall's desire to give back led to the creation of MarshallGoldsmith.AI, a free tool designed to democratize access to leadership wisdom. We explore how the bot leverages AI for knowledge-sharing, its inherent biases, and how it's being used in real coaching scenarios. “My goal is simple: help as many people as possible by sharing everything I've learned.” How AI Will Revolutionize Leadership Looking forward, Marshall shares his vision for how AI will reshape learning and coaching. He believes AI will accelerate knowledge sharing, making insights immediately accessible and creating new opportunities for thought leaders to amplify their impact. “The future of coaching lies in immediate access to transformative ideas—AI makes this possible.” Lessons for Scrum Masters MarshallGoldsmith.AI even has advice for Agile practitioners! When asked about lessons for Scrum Masters, the bot highlighted three key principles: focus on collaboration, prioritize feedback without judgment, and build team resilience. “Listen, thank people, don't judge, and focus on actionable steps forward.” Parting Words of Advice Marshall leaves us with a timeless reflection: “Imagine you're near the end of your life and can offer one piece of advice to your younger self. What would it be? Live that advice today.” About Dr. Marshall Goldsmith Dr. Marshall Goldsmith is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, whose books have sold over 3 million copies worldwide.

Mindfulness can transform your communication and your career.When we react, our instincts and impulses are in the driver's seat. But when we take the time to reflect, that's when Marshall Goldsmith says we take back control of how we respond.“​​​​Before speaking at work, breathe,” Goldsmith says. “Is my comment going to improve this other human being's commitment? At home, breathe. Is my comment going to improve this relationship with someone I love? If the answer is no, why am I saying it?”As a world-renowned executive coach, speaker, and best-selling author, Goldsmith teaches how a mindful approach can change how we relate to others, to ourselves, and even to our career goals and ambitions. Through reflection, we identify our values, which we can use to live what Goldsmith calls an “earned life — when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Goldsmith joins host Matt Abrahams to explore practical strategies for bettering our interactions with others and ourselves, from his “feed forward” method for giving and receiving constructive critique to his "daily questions" practice, which prompts reflective self-inquiry to keep us focused on what truly matters.Episode Reference Links:Marshall GoldsmithMarshall's Books: What Got Here Won't Get You There / Triggers Ep.138 Speak Your Truth: Why Authenticity Leads to Better CommunicationConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:35) - Key Communication Advice (02:17) - An Earned Life (04:14) - Transition to Leadership (05:45) - Breathe Before Speaking (07:00) - Feedforward vs. Feedback (08:00) - Managing Triggers (09:51) - Daily Success Checklist (12:29) - Using AI for Coaching (13:58) - Influencing Up Leadership (15:33) - The Final Three Questions (18:28) - Conclusion

Let's get real—hiring shouldn't feel like a leap of faith. We've all been there. You've got a role to fill, and suddenly, you're staring at a pile of resumes that all look the same or scrolling through job platforms, wondering how to separate the rockstars from the rest. It feels like a gamble—like you're rolling the dice and hoping the chosen person can deliver.But what if hiring wasn't a game of chance? What if you could approach it with the same clarity and confidence you bring to other areas of your business? In this follow-up episode with my great friend and mentor, Kevin Ashcroft, CEO of WP Support Specialists and author of Outsourcing for Success, we'll answer these questions and more.

Kevin's process begins with asking: Do we really need this role? If you don't know the answer, you're setting yourself up for a mismatch.Cultural Fit Is a Game-ChangerSkills can be trained, but shared values can't. Kevin's emphasis on cultural alignment as a non-negotiable for hiring resonated deeply with me. It's saved me from making some big mistakes in the past.Think Beyond BordersKevin and I geeked out about the beauty of global talent. It's not just a cost-saving move—it's about finding the right person, no matter where they're based. Forget the stereotypes; talent is talent.AI Is Changing the GamePlatforms are flooded with AI-generated responses that make sorting through candidates more challenging. Kevin shared some tricks to separate the real deal from the fluff. (Hint: Generic job posts don't cut it anymore.)Why This MattersHere's the deal—Kevin's approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about creating systems that work for your business, not just today but as you grow. I know firsthand how tempting it is to just “fill the gap,” but every hire should bring you closer to your long-term vision.This episode is for you if:You're tired of wasting time on the wrong candidates.You want to build a team that shares your values and drives results.You're ready to stop putting out fires and start hiring strategically.Whether you're just starting or scaling your team globally, Kevin's insights are a masterclass in strategic hiring.

Why organizational strategy can be both top-down and bottom-up.As Professor Jesper Sørensen sees it, a winning strategy is the result of conversations, not commands, and that strategy can be directed from the C-suite, but it doesn't have to be. “Lots of great strategies are discovered,” he says, “they're discovered because the leaders were able to listen to their frontline workers or their frontline managers.” A more iterative approach, says Sørensen, helps companies adapt their strategy to an ever-changing landscape.In the latest episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Sørensen joins host and lecturer Matt Abrahams to discuss how organizations can use better communication to craft better strategies.Episode Reference Links:Stanford GSB Profile: Jesper B.
