The Pillars of Life with Marshall Goldsmith
Manage episode 435162988 series 2613619
A Note from James:
"Marshall, you have the best name in the world for someone who’s going to write about leadership. I would hire you as a coach just for your name alone—Marshall Goldsmith, it just sounds perfect. For those who aren’t familiar, and I’ll do an intro, you’ve written an enormous number of successful leadership books, selling over 3 million copies. You’ve coached Fortune 500 CEOs, and you’re launching MarshallGoldsmith.AI, your new AI venture. Let’s get into what it means to be a good coach."
Episode Description:
In this episode of The James Altucher Show, James welcomes Marshall Goldsmith, one of the world’s leading executive coaches and a best-selling author. Marshall shares his insights on leadership, coaching, and the often-overlooked distinction between happiness and achievement. With a career that spans decades, Marshall’s wisdom is not just theoretical; it’s backed by his experience coaching some of the most successful leaders in the world.
Listeners will discover why coaching isn’t just about offering advice but about working with those who are ready to make real changes. Marshall’s no-nonsense approach to identifying and working with key stakeholders, understanding the value of process over results, and the importance of daily habits for personal growth are just a few of the many lessons shared in this episode.

- Why the most successful leaders seek out coaching and how it helps them continue to grow.
