Workshop Overview:

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith is the world authority in helping successful leaders achieve positive, lasting change in behavior: for themselves, their people and their teams. Globally known for being pragmatic while provocative, insightful while being in the instant, highly intuitive and wise, yet personable and self-deprecating, Marshall stands out as a sharp contract to the old-school academics and business-school professors who tend to be preachy. In this highly interactive workshop, participants will learn the unique competencies needed for the Global Leader of the Future. He will share leaning from his 40-years’ experience in being a top global CEO coach, a lifetime leadership student and a Buddhist and from his bestselling books and illustrate how the leader of the future will be different from the leader of the past. Marshall will describe the challenges that come with success and show how to use ‘what to stop’ in coaching a development. Participants will all get to practice and be ready to use feedforward – a positive process for learning that has been successfully implemented around the world. Dr. Goldsmith was recently recognized by the Harvard Institute for Coaching as the World Leader in Coaching. He will share his proven process for leadership development, coaching and team building that is backed by research from over 200,000 respondents from around the world. Two of Marshall’s books, Triggers and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, have been recognized by Amazon.com as being in the Top 100 Leadership and Success Books ever written. He will distill the highlights from these two classics and give participants practical tools that they can take home and immediately put in practice!
