Podcast appearances and mentions of Marshall Goldsmith

Most authors and speakers build their entire brand in one market and never realize how small that is compared to what's possible. In this episode, Kelly sits down with Gautam Ganglani, who has spent three decades bringing the world's biggest authors (Jack Canfield, Brian Tracy, Robin Sharma, Marshall Goldsmith, and more) to the Gulf region and India, to talk about how to take a book and a speaking career truly global. Gautam shares the story of Right Selection, the 30-year family legacy his father started as a Dubai bookstore and grew into live events and executive development, and the principle that kept it thriving across generations. He and Kelly get into the exact playbook for going global, finding a regional publishing partner, building the brand virtually through podcasts and webinars, then landing a concentrated speaking roadshow, and the hard data behind the 10,000-copy tipping point that can take a book from a few thousand sales to 6-figures.

Episode 164: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Kristina Baron, Co-Managing Partner and Managing Director at Oxford Financial Group. Kristina started in the industry as a high school intern in a financial advisor's office and later worked at Goldman Sachs before joining Oxford. Today she helps lead a team that serves roughly 700 families across the country. Kyle and Kristina explore what it takes to coordinate advice for families whose needs span investments, estate planning, taxes, trusts, outside advisors, and multiple generations. Kristina shares why understanding a family's values should precede any solution, how Oxford structures teams and communication to make complexity manageable, and why continuity depends on giving younger generations a voice. They also discuss data integrity, connected technology, practical AI applications, and Kristina's concerns about how consolidation and pressure for new revenue streams could reshape the RIA landscape. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:31) - Kristina's money moment (04:56) - Why understanding has to come before expertise (07:10) - Coordinating estate planning across jurisdictions (10:05) - Standing out when every firm says it serves families like yours (15:38) - Working alongside a family's other advisors (18:12) - Making a complex service model feel simple (19:46) - Planning for every generation of the family (23:23) - Why communication breaks down between generations (27:14) - Building the data foundation before layering on technology (30:08) - Where AI fits in serving ultra-high-net-worth families (33:33) - Kristina's outlook on the future of the wealth management industry (36:43) - Kristina's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Understand the family before designing the solution. Technical expertise only goes so far when several generations, advisors, and priorities are involved. Open-ended questions about values, concerns, and goals help determine what the family actually needs before specialists begin solving for it. Coordination matters as much as specialization. Complex families may work with attorneys, CPAs, insurance professionals, and multiple wealth managers at once. Shared communication, clearly assigned follow-up items, and a coordinated team help keep good individual advice from becoming a fragmented overall plan. Bring the next generation into the conversation before a transition happens. Continuity becomes harder when a family structure reflects only the founder generation's priorities. Families can preserve important values while still giving later generations enough context and voice to understand, engage with, and eventually help shape the plan. Build the data foundation before expecting more from AI. Clean information and connected systems reduce manual work and give AI more useful problems to solve. The opportunity is to accelerate analysis and information retrieval while preserving human judgment and the personal interaction that complex families still value. Quotes "Facts help drive decision-making, but I think feelings and values drive even more important decision-making." ~ Kristina Baron "We can't fool ourselves that we're the best at everything, so we need to work together as a team to accomplish it, and really understand what it is that you're trying to solve for." ~ Kristina Baron "There's a way to still hold true to the values of generation one, while also allowing conversations and evolution into what's really important for generation two and beyond." ~ Kristina Baron Links  Kristina Baron on LinkedIn Oxford Financial Group Jeffrey H.

Jennifer McCollum spent twenty-five years climbing toward a seat she wasn't sure she'd ever reach. Then a single phone call changed everything by telling her exactly what she didn't want. Jennifer is President and CEO of Catalyst, the global nonprofit working with many of the world's most powerful companies to build workplaces that work for women, and only the sixth leader in its sixty-year history. She's the author of In Her Own Voice and, most recently, Men at Work: The Road Map to Gender Partnership, launched this year at the New York Stock Exchange, and a member of Marshall Goldsmith's 100 Coaches community. In this episode, she shares the Unlock Moment that redirected her career, and why clarity of action begins with a harder question than "what do I do next?" We cover the scrappy childhood that shaped her drive, the two layoffs and the sabbatical that made her stop and reassess, and why getting clear on what she didn't want freed her to find the work she was made for. We also get into the heart of Men at Work: why workplaces were never designed for women, why they aren't serving men especially well either, and what it really takes to build organisations that work for everyone. A conversation about ambition, clarity, and the choices leaders can make right now rather than waiting for the culture to catch up.

Ryan Sheppard mapped an entire market for a senior pharma search, tracked down the exact molecule types, built the shortlist, and then got one line back: sorry, we're on a hiring freeze. The fee that vanished was somewhere between eighty and a hundred thousand dollars, and it was not the first time. That was the moment he decided he could not keep working for free.

See it for yourself at https://recruitwithatlas.com/ Ryan is an executive search consultant in Tokyo placing country managers and senior commercial leaders for US and European healthcare companies. After sixteen years in contingency he made the switch to retained, and as he tells it, he went from barely hitting his number in 2024 to hitting his annual target by Valentine's Day 2025 and finishing the year at 280% of goal. The advice that changed everything came from a retained recruiter he admired: stop selling CVs, sell the process. He walks through exactly what that looks like. How he priced his very first retainer at 40% having never gone above standard, how the local decision maker signed without blinking while global TA asked who this guy thought he was, and what he said to get it across the line. Why he can now tell a client he cannot guarantee the perfect person but can guarantee the steps, and why that is what clients actually pay for. Then the book. Ryan wrote Sell Yourself Like a CEO during the six to nine month lull while his first retainers were slowly coming in, and he ran the launch like a search. He wrote down 180 names, scorecarded every one of them, worked the math backwards from twenty launch-day reviews, and ended up with thirty reviews and six endorsements, including one from Marshall Goldsmith. The book has since become his calling card with presidents, with executives' kids, and with people he has never met who show up at events having already read it. He also shares two things he wishes recruiters would ask him about. First, why reference checks are the most underrated practice in recruitment, and how a 25 minute call that goes well beyond did they work there turns into a business development conversation with a decision maker who would never otherwise take your call. Second, President's Drinks, the no-banner, no-pitch gathering he has hosted for a decade that puts him in a room with the people who actually make hiring decisions. Along the way he explains why fees in Japan run 35 to 40%, where AI actually makes him more valuable on a search, and what a case study looks like when you build it from a STAR story in under an hour. If you are still selling the output when you should be selling the process, this one is for you.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, one of the world's most influential leadership thinkers, a renowned executive coach, and #1 New York Times bestselling author, to explore what keeps successful people growing. For more than four decades, Marshall has coached many of the world's most accomplished CEOs and leaders. In this conversation, he shares what those experiences have taught him about leadership, confidence, behavior change, achievement, and creating a life that is meaningful on your own terms. Episode Description Success can create one of the biggest obstacles to continued growth: when a behavior has helped us succeed in the past, we assume it must still be serving us. Marshall explains why high performers can become trapped by "winning too much," adding too much value, and needing to prove they are right. He shares a simple question that can change the way we lead and communicate: "Is it worth it?" Cindra and Marshall also explore the relationship between confidence and courage, why we need to stop putting ourselves into limiting identity boxes, and how becoming more influential can be an act of service when your mission is to positively impact others. Marshall also challenges the belief that achievement will eventually create happiness. Instead, he encourages us to define what "enough" means, find meaning in what we do, invest in the people we love, and focus on the action directly in front of us rather than becoming consumed by the outcome. This conversation is packed with practical wisdom for leaders, coaches, athletes, and high performers who want to continue growing while building a life they are proud to live. You'll Learn: Why the best coaching requires courage, humility, and discipline. How past success can reinforce behaviors that eventually hold you back. Why "winning too much" is one of the most common problems among successful people. How asking "Is it worth it?" can make you a better leader and communicator. Why confidence and courage are so closely connected. How the identity you repeatedly give yourself can prevent lasting behavior change. Why your behavior should be guided by your mission rather than your comfort. How to stop tying your identity and happiness to achievement and outcomes. Why focusing on the "next play" helps high performers stay present. Marshall's advice for living a life your 95-year-old self would be proud of.

How can leaders adapt their approach to give people what they need in each specific situation? In this episode, Kevin is joined by Suzie Bishop and Sam Shriver to revisit situational leadership and discuss why this decades-old model may be more relevant than ever. They explain how effective leadership begins by clearly identifying the task, skill, or behavior involved, then assessing an individual's ability, confidence, commitment, and motivation before choosing the right leadership response. Kevin, Suzie, and Sam discuss why no leadership style is inherently good or bad, how empowerment can feel like abandonment and direction can feel like micromanagement when misapplied, and why leaders must step beyond their comfort zones to serve others' needs.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ken Keis, president of CRG Consulting Group, leadership expert, and longtime friend, for an honest conversation about helping farm parents find purpose beyond the farm and why understanding yourself is essential for a successful transition. Drawing from decades of experience working with families, leaders, and organizations, Ken shares how personality, values, and purpose shape the way we communicate, make decisions, and navigate change. Together, we explore why so many farm transitions stall, the importance of having difficult conversations before a crisis, and how changing roles doesn't mean losing your identity. We discuss discovering your purpose beyond the farm, understanding different personality styles and values, creating a healthier family culture, and why transition planning should happen while everyone is healthy and able to make decisions together. If you or someone you know is struggling with letting go, finding purpose after farming, or navigating the next chapter of your family's journey, this episode is for you.

How we manage time is really how we manage ourselves. In this conversation, Neal and I explore a key question to help us shift from ordinary to exceptional. Key Points Swirling shows up for all of us when we ruminate on an interaction in a way that's not helpful. Most people don't think to ask about others' intent. The key question to shift our thinking: “What's the intent?” Ordinary thinking goes with the flow. Exceptional thinking pauses and allows us to consider the intent behind the interaction. To free time each day, pause before responding in a complex situation and ask yourself, “What's the intent?” This question becomes powerful when you can ask and answer yourself without needing to say it out loud.

Your leadership style isn't the problem. Your default is.The gap between how you're leading and what the person in front of you actually needs is one of the most common and most invisible places leaders get stuck. Most of us default to one mode and don't notice the mismatch until something breaks down.Suzie Bishop has spent over a decade at the Center for Leadership Studies helping leaders close that gap and strengthen their leadership effectiveness. Her new book, Situational Leadership, puts nearly sixty years of research into a practical framework for reading the situation, building leadership flexibility, and adapting your approach.Suzie walks through the four leadership styles, how to read what someone needs in a given situation, and how to adapt your approach to coach, develop leaders, and lead through influence.The best leaders don't pick one style and commit. They pause, assess the situation, and flex to have the impact you intend.You'll Learn:Why "leadership is influence" reframes how you lead, and why influence has nothing to do with manipulation or controlHow to diagnose what someone needs, and why one person can require four different approaches in the same conversationHow leadership flexibility and adaptability differ—and why knowing the styles isn't the same as knowing when to use themWhy only asking coaching questions can leave people stuck, and how to know when to step in with more directive leadershipHow the "power of the pause" helps you move from reacting out of habit to adapting with intentionABOUT MY GUEST:Suzie Bishop is VP of Product Development at The Center for Leadership Studies.

Why do we size up a rude stranger in seconds and decide they don't belong in our "tribe"? Dr. Benjamin Granger has a term for it: the evolutionary hangover — his phrase for the cognitive biases our brains evolved for savanna survival and never quite retired. As Chief Workplace Psychologist at Qualtrics, Granger spends his days distilling billions of data points on how employees and customers really feel, and in this episode he brings that same lens to his new USA Today bestseller, A Leader Worth Following. The conversation moves from the biological to the deeply practical. Granger traces human speech back only 100,000–200,000 years — a blink in evolutionary time — to explain why we still assume our texts and emails land exactly as intended, and why they so often don't. He and host Peter Winick dig into a favorite (and least favorite) example: the customer satisfaction survey. Whether it's a car dealership coaching you to "circle the five" or a flight attendant joking about the inevitable post-flight survey, Granger shows how well-established science like goal-setting theory gets bent out of shape the moment it collides with real incentive structures. There's also a candid look at what it takes to write a book while holding down a demanding day job — from years of scattered iPhone notes to a publisher's cold outreach that landed within days of deciding to write one. Granger and Winick talk through the tension every corporate thought leader faces: how do you promote your ideas without it feeling like self-promotion? Granger's answer — "I'm selling the message, not myself" — anchors a broader discussion of why academic rigor and real-world readability don't have to be at odds. The episode closes on a personal note: Granger's hope that more leaders will get comfortable with hard conversations with themselves, and a few concrete ways to start — from a two-minute daily reflection borrowed from Marshall Goldsmith to a monthly sit-down with your future self. If you've ever wondered why your best-intentioned message got read the wrong way, or why your company's survey scores don't tell the real story, this one's for you. Three Key Takeaways: • Our brains are running outdated software. Granger's "evolutionary hangover" concept explains why we instantly judge people as "abrasive" or "rude" — a tribal survival instinct that made sense on the savanna but creates friction in modern offices and customer interactions. • Good science can get gamed by bad incentives. Goal-setting is one of the most well-established practices in organizational psychology, but Granger shows how tying compensation to survey scores (like a car dealership's NPS rating) corrupts the very measurement it's supposed to improve. • Selling ideas isn't the same as selling yourself. Granger reframes self-promotion as message-promotion — a mental shift that let him push through years of book marketing discomfort because he believes the underlying research deserves to reach people. Ben isn't the only one turning years of hard-won research into a book built to scale. Bill Sherman, Peter Winick, and Naren Aryal have just released The Thought Leadership Handbook: How the Experts Elevate Their Big Ideas—and How You Can Too — a field guide drawn from more than 700 conversations on this very podcast, mapping out the frameworks and five "thought leadership avatars" that separate an idea stuck in your head from one that actually reaches an audience. If Ben's path from scattered iPhone notes to a USA Today bestseller has you thinking about your own expertise, this is the next book on your list.

What happens when the person telling your success story wasn't actually in the room? That's the moment that pushed John Winsor — Founder and Chairman of Open Assembly, Harvard Business School executive fellow, and author of six books including the bestselling Open Talent — to write a widely discussed piece questioning the entire thought leadership industry. In this conversation with Peter Winick, Winsor traces his path from launching a regional sports magazine (sold to Condé Nast) through decades of building and exiting companies, to his current work at Harvard's AI Institute studying the future of work. Along the way, he unpacks a tension every expert eventually faces: when does an idea deserve a blog post, a keynote, or a book — and when is it just filler dressed up as insight? Winsor and Winick dig into what separates "thought leaders" from "thought doers," using everyone from Malcolm Gladwell to Domino's Patrick Doyle as examples of how firsthand experience — not borrowed theory — is what actually earns an audience's trust. They also tackle a question with real urgency for anyone building a business around ideas: if generative AI can produce a working website, investor deck, and full brand in a single prompt, what's left for humans to do? Winsor's answer centers on relationships, judgment, and the irreplaceable value of live, human-to-human experience — a case he backs with striking data from executive AI workshops at HBS. This is a candid, occasionally pointed conversation about ego, authenticity, and the mechanics of building influence in a market flooded with polished — but often hollow — expertise. Worth a listen for anyone deciding what to write next, whether to take the stage, or how to stay relevant as AI eats the easy parts of the job. Three Key Takeaways: • Experience should come before the platform, not after. Winsor argues that credible thought leadership starts with real, specific experience — "go have a bunch of really killer specific experiences" — rather than reverse-engineering content to match a trending topic or keyword. • AI is pushing execution toward zero cost, which raises the value of judgment and relationships. Winsor points to tools that can generate a full company's assets — website, investment deck, brand — from a single prompt in under two hours. What AI can't replace is the human trust required to sell, evangelize, and validate an idea. • Format should follow curiosity, not ambition. Rather than deciding upfront that an idea "deserves" a book, Winsor tests ideas publicly through Substack, HBR, and Forbes articles first, using audience response to gauge whether something is worth developing further — or whether it was only ever his own curiosity. Before you go — Peter has a new book. The Thought Leadership Handbook: How the Experts Elevate Their Big Ideas—and How You Can Too, co-authored by Bill Sherman, Peter Winick, and Naren Aryal, draws on more than 700 conversations from this very podcast to map out the patterns that separate thought leaders who build lasting impact from those who never scale past their own curiosity. It introduces five thought leadership avatars — Growth-Minded CEOs, Impact and Legacy Executives, Thought Leaders on the Run, In-House Experts, and Hall of Fame Thinkers — and gives readers the frameworks and tools to find their own path.

In this episode of Modern Chiropractic Mastery, Dr. Kevin Christie shares reflections from his transformative six-week immersion trip to the Cotswolds, England. He discusses the journey of planning and executing this ambitious family adventure, highlighting the importance of vision and preparation in achieving significant life goals. Dr. Christie delves into the concept of the R Factor question from Strategic Coach, encouraging listeners to envision their future and identify the necessary steps to reach their personal and professional aspirations. He emphasizes the value of creating self-managing companies to facilitate life-changing experiences, sharing insights on how to financially prepare for extended time away from practice.Throughout the episode, he reflects on two impactful audiobooks he listened to during his trip: Jim Collins' "What to Make of a Life" and Marshall Goldsmith's "The Earned Life." Dr. Christie draws parallels between the themes of these books and the challenges faced by chiropractors, offering actionable insights to help listeners align their ambitions with daily actions. Listeners will gain valuable strategies for navigating the 'cliffs' and 'fog' of their careers, and learn how to cultivate a fulfilling professional life through aspiration, ambition, and action.

What if the key to success in today's business world wasn't about making difficult decisions quickly—but about broadening the scope through which you make decisions? Leaders Alliance CEO Cornelia Choe and executive coach Marshall Goldsmith argue that being open to more perspectives can help leaders navigate an increasingly complicated world and lead better. They share their framework for this mindset shift, and examples of leaders who have done this well. Choe and Goldsmith are the authors of the book The Panoramic Leader: How Great Leaders See Differently.

Tim Harrison explains why AI won't replace great leaders—but leaders who stop thinking for themselves may replace themselves.What starts as a conversation about AI quickly becomes a discussion about leadership, adaptability, and the future of work.

What separates the companies that will define the AI era from those that will be displaced by it? In this episode of DisrupTV, hosts R "Ray" Wang and Vala Afshar bring together two guests with very different vantage points on the same question — one from the front lines of AI-first transformation, and one from the deeply human side of leadership development. Alejandro Laplana, CEO of Shokworks — the AI-first digital transformation consultancy behind work for HBO, FC Barcelona, and the United Nations — makes the case that the traditional services model is being fundamentally disrupted. The billable hour is giving way to gain-share arrangements where vendors win only when clients win. Middle-market companies ($50M–$500M) are using AI to achieve leverage that once required billions in investment. And the real efficiency gains aren't in headline automation — they're in eliminating the coordination tax buried in middle management layers and compliance workflows. He also draws a crucial distinction between operational AI, which improves today's business, and innovation AI, which builds tomorrow's competitive moat. Claire Díaz-Ortiz, who co-authored Why Can't They Be Like Me? with legendary executive coach Marshall Goldsmith, explores the leadership trap that quietly caps most organizations' potential: the assumption that what made you successful should work for everyone around you. She explains why homogeneity is innovation's enemy, where AI genuinely helps in leadership development and where it falls short, and why the strengths that build careers can become the blind spots that limit leadership — if they go unexamined. Together, they trace a through-line from business model disruption to the human transformation required to lead through it: outcome-obsessed strategy on one side, and the perspective-rich, deliberately curious leadership needed to execute on the other.

Is your current way of working holding you back from your next career milestone? Sometimes, the very habits that helped you succeed in the past can become obstacles to your future progress. Drawing on Marshall Goldsmith's concept of 'What Got You Here Won't Get You There', Helen explores what it means to develop this skill, and what your default response to it reveals about you.

Most leaders think their biggest risk is making the wrong call. Cornelia Choe argues the real danger comes earlier, when a leader stops questioning the mental map they’re using to make calls in the first place. In her book The Panoramic Leader, co-authored with Marshall Goldsmith, Cornelia builds a case that continuous change has made the old leadership playbook obsolete. The world stopped being a predictable highway, and too many leaders are still staring at the rearview mirror. In this episode you’ll learn: What the quote “Achievement is all about me, but leadership is all about them” really means (3:33) Why continuous change broke the old model of leadership (6:49) How the GEM method helps leaders navigate constant change (9:52) Why G must come before E in the GEM sequence (11:31) How panoramic leadership builds on go-and-see (13:15) What mapping your evolving perspective actually looks like in practice (17:44) Why success is the most dangerous place to stop learning (23:25) What optimistic fear is and why courage alone is not enough (26:25) Three questions that pull leaders out of autopilot (29:40) “One of the greatest dangers we can have is to stop mapping.” – Cornelia Choe Keep Learning If Cornelia’s point about seeing the system from multiple angles resonated, the School of Leadership can help you build the habits that turn that awareness into consistent practice.

In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Suzie Bishop, vice president of product development at The Center for Leadership Studies — the global home of the Situational Leadership® Model — and co-author of the newly released Situational Leadership®: The Model for Leading Others, Navigating Change, and Unlocking Performance.  A Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coach who has spent more than a decade modernizing the world's most widely used leadership framework, Suzie makes a deceptively simple case — the best leaders don't lean on one great style; they read the person in front of them and adapt to what the moment actually requires.  Tune in to episode 253 to hear why the well-liked “nice boss” who delegates everything can quietly leave people stranded, the first move for a newly promoted high performer who's about to fall flat, and the humbling parenting moment that reframed how Suzie thinks about leading people who have already outgrown your instructions.  AndrewTemte.com

Leadership has never been more challenging—or more important. In a world defined by constant disruption, AI, economic uncertainty, global conflict, and nonstop change, the old leadership playbook is showing its age. The leaders who thrive today aren't the ones with all the answers. They're the ones willing to ask better questions, challenge their assumptions, and expand their perspective. In this episode, Nicole sits down with Cornelia Choe, international leadership expert, CEO of Leaders Alliance, and co-author of The Panoramic Leader with Marshall Goldsmith. Having advised CEOs, Fortune 500 executives, and government leaders across five continents, Cornelia brings a global lens to what effective leadership requires today. In This Episode, We Discuss: What Panoramic Leadership is and why it matters now more than ever Why today's leaders are facing unprecedented levels of change and uncertainty The hidden dangers of operating on autopilot How to identify and update your personal "mental map" Why curiosity, humility, and adaptability are critical leadership skills The power of seeking perspectives that challenge your own beliefs How blind spots impact decision-making and organizational success Cornelia's GEM Framework: Get Up Close Establish Meaningful Bonds Map Your Evolving Perspective Why command-and-control leadership is becoming increasingly ineffective How leaders can create environments where honest feedback thrives Leadership isn't about having the loudest voice in the room. It's about having the widest lens. As change accelerates and complexity grows, the leaders who succeed will be those willing to continuously learn, evolve, and see beyond their own experience.

Four out of ten executives fail within 18 months of a new appointment. Not four percent. Forty percent. And the organization isn't the one who pays the highest price.Candy Motzek sits down with Navid Nazemian, an international bestselling author of Mastering Executive Transitions, an executive coach, and a LinkedIn Top Voice, to unpack one of the most under-discussed problems in leadership and one of the biggest opportunities for coaches who work with leaders.Navid shares why so many high-potential leaders derail during transitions despite their track record of success. He talks about the assumption that what worked before will work again, the significant gap in support between male and female executives stepping into new roles, and why the human cost of a failed transition is far greater than the financial one. Leaders who fail at the top rarely rebound. The career they spent decades building can effectively end.He also shares the story behind his book, why he spent seven years researching the topic, how he secured endorsements from Marshall Goldsmith and other global thought leaders, and what makes transition coaching one of the most meaningful and commercially valuable niches a coach can build.This is a genuinely fascinating conversation and one that will shift how you think about the leaders you serve.Grab the free course, Stop Guessing and Start Signing Clients, and start building a coaching business that's actually yours: https://candymotzek.lpages.co/vfo/Want to see what's actually working for coaches right now?

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Cornelia Choe, leadership advisor and founder of global CEO peer groups, author of The Panoramic Leader: How Great Leaders See Differently, co-authored with Marshall Goldsmith. Cornelia's core idea is that the "mental maps" we form early in life quietly shape how we lead today, and that our decisions are only as good as the world we're actually able to see. Andy and Cornelia explore why so many new executives fail within their first 18 months, what she calls a visibility problem rather than an execution problem. They dig into practical tools: microtranslations for sharing ideas others can absorb, optimistic fear that lets us move forward without ignoring real risk, and the balcony-and-dance-floor balance of perspective and proximity. Cornelia also shares how getting up close to stakeholders, and even to her own kids, opens up options we couldn't see before. If you're looking for practical ways to see more clearly and make better decisions in an uncertain world, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "And the truth is, sometimes the problem is not that we lack data, it's that we're not seeing broadly enough." "And if you truly believe something, stick with it, keep it on your map, and have the courage to go through with it." "But the problem is it's no longer enough to be right in today's world, and having an incomplete picture is just as dangerous as getting it wrong." "Optimistic fear is the ability to keep the risks and the danger in mind, yet to still go forward and to use our fear to fuel our momentum going forward." "We don't need to have everything solved, but just getting up close can reward us with a lot of options." "I mean, in some ways you could argue that our brain's autopilot is not a bug, it's a feature." "You don't have to accept everything you hear or everything your stakeholders tell you, but we do need to think about it and, in a thoughtful way, choose to accept it or not." "And in a world that's constantly changing, this is going to be an even more crucial skill because your decisions are only as good as the world you see, and the most successful leaders learn to see more in today's world." "It's just a good reminder to me that a smart, well-intentioned person can see situations quite differently." "Our identity is created by the people around us, the people who share their perspectives with, and the perspectives that we allow to become part of our mental maps." "I heard someone once say that we're all driven by just a few lines of code that run in the background, and as a former software developer, I can relate to that."

Chris Duffy: Humor Me Chris Duffy is an award-winning podcaster, comedian, and television writer. He hosts the podcast How to Be a Better Human and you can find his comedic TED talk, “How to find laughter anywhere” online. He is the author of Humor Me: How Laughing More Can Make You Present, Creative, Connected, and Happy (Amazon, Bookshop)*. It sometimes seems like someone with a good sense of humor does everything a bit better. Perhaps leadership is no different – but it's not about landing jokes. In this episode, Chris and I explore why everyday humor is all about paying attention and generosity. Key Points Humor might not make the list of top leadership competencies, but it helps you perform every other competency better. A good sense of humor is inherently generous. Effective humor isn't landing the perfect joke or being the center of attention. It's noticing the humor is everyday work and bravely calling attention to it. The first pillar of cultivating humor is simply being present. Start with times you are least present and most zoned out. Zero in with a “new bathroom” frame of mind. Celebrate the bad stuff and find humor in it. By doing so, you inherently help people appreciate excellence.

What if success is not the hard part? Lisa Broderick, Managing Partner of Conversus Group,  and co-author of Permanence with Marshall Goldsmith, brings a practical answer to one of leadership's most overlooked problems: how to stay the person you want to be after success arrives. Most leadership advice focuses on achievement. Hit the goal. Grow the company. Build the platform. Scale the impact. But Lisa's work asks a sharper question. What happens to your behavior, identity, and relationships once the pressure of success starts to reshape you? In this conversation, Lisa unpacks the power of daily questions. Not vague reflection. Not motivational slogans. A simple, measurable practice that helps leaders notice their behavior in real time. That noticing creates agency. Agency creates change. The breakthrough is in the wording. "Did I do my best?" is different from "Did I succeed?" It removes perfection from the equation. It puts ownership back in the leader's hands. And it makes behavior change sustainable. Lisa also shares how accountability changes everything. Leaders shifted their actions during the day because they knew someone would ask. Not an app. Not a dashboard. A person. That human connection made the work harder to ignore and easier to sustain. This episode is a powerful look at thought leadership in action. Lisa and Marshall are not just sharing ideas. They are turning research, coaching, behavioral science, and real-world executive practice into a framework leaders can use immediately. For CEOs, coaches, advisors, and thought leaders, this conversation is a reminder that success can create drift. One small compromise at a time. The right questions can bring leaders back to intention, clarity, and permanence. Three Key Takeaways: •Sustainable success requires more than achievement. Lisa Broderick's work focuses on what happens after leaders become successful. The danger is "identity drift"—small compromises that slowly pull leaders away from who they want to be. • The right questions create real behavior change. Daily questions like "Did I do my best?" shift the focus from perfection to effort, ownership, and awareness. That makes change more practical, measurable, and sustainable. • Accountability makes thought leadership actionable. The practice worked because leaders knew someone would ask. Human accountability turned reflection into action and helped leaders change their behavior in real time. Lisa Broderick shows how daily questions and human accountability help leaders create lasting behavior change. Adam Fridman takes that idea further, showing how small habits can be built and scaled across teams and organizations. Listen to Lisa's episode to understand why change starts with awareness. Then listen to Adam's to see how daily habits turn into measurable business impact.
