Marshall Goldsmith

World-Renowned Thought Leader in Human Resources and Leadership Development

"The goal is to get the ball moving in the right direction and to reinforce forward momentum and to keep it going." Marshall Goldsmith

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith is a world authority in helping successful leaders get even better by achieving positive, lasting change in behavior: for themselves, their people and their teams.  He is one of a select few executive advisors who have been asked to work with over 120 major CEOs and their management teams.  In November 2009, Forbes and The (London) Times completed an extensive study involving over 3,500 respondents and a panel of experts--Dr. Goldsmith was named one of the fifteen most influential business thinkers in the world.  Goldsmith's work has been recognized by: American Management Association--fifty great thinkers who have influenced the field of management over the past eighty years, BusinessWeek--most influential practitioners in the history of leadership development, The Wall Street Journal--top ten executive educators, Forbes--five most-respected executive coaches, Economist--most credible thought leaders in the new era of business, Fast Company--America's preeminent executive coach, and Institute for Management Studies--lifetime achievement award (one of only two ever presented).

Dr. Goldsmith's interactive and fast-paced sessions offer participants practical tools that can help them become more successful as leaders and employees, but also as friends and family members. 

Goldsmith is the author of 27 books, including MOJO: How to Get It, How to Keep It, and How to Get It Back If You Lose It, released in 2010. Goldsmith defines mojo as: that positive spirit toward what we are doing now that starts on the inside and radiates to the outside. He provides practical ideas to help participants find happiness and meaning in the face of challenging economic times. He is also the author of the New York Times best-seller What Got You Here Won't Get You There, a Wall Street Journal #1 business book and winner of the Harold Longman award for Best Business Book of the Year. It has been translated into 25 languages and is a top ten best-seller in seven different countries.
 

Goldsmith is the co-founder of the Marshall Goldsmith Group, a network of top level leadership development professionals.  He teaches executive education at Dartmouth's Tuck School and is frequently asked to teach in leading business schools.  He is a fellow in the National Academy of Human Resources (America's top HR honor) and his work has been recognized by almost every major professional organization in his field.  In 2006, Alliant International University honored  Goldsmith by naming their schools of business and organizational psychology, the Marshall Goldsmith School of Management.  He served on the Board of the Peter Drucker Foundation for ten years and has been a volunteer teacher for US Army Generals, Navy Admirals, Girl Scout Executives and American Red Cross leaders (where he was a national volunteer of the year).

MOJO: How to Get It, How to Keep It, and How to Get It Back If You Lose It. "Mojo" is the feeling we get when we're moving forward, making progress, achieving goals, clearing hurdles, passing the competition--and doing so with increasing ease. Based on his newest book, Marshall Goldsmith discusses the new world of work and shows why mojo is more important than ever before. Goldsmith will reveal how our mojo is impacted by identity, achievement, reputation, and acceptance. By the end of the session, participants will be able to define mojo, measure it, and keep mojo by letting go of the little stuff, avoiding pointless arguments at work, and steering clear of mojo-killers.  Free applications will be available to help participants experience more happiness and meaning at work and at home.

What Got You Here Won't Get You There. How do successful leaders become even more successful? By following practical strategies from Marshall Goldsmith, one of the world's leading executive coaches. This session will help you understand the unique challenges faced by successful people, and learn proven, research based tools for developing yourself and coaching others. Goldsmith will explain how to implement "feed-forward", a positive, focused tool for improvement, and understand the latest innovations in peer coaching. As long as you have the commitment, Goldsmith has the guide for mastering change and finding more happiness and meaning--at work and home, and with the important people in your life.

Executive Coaching. Goldsmith is one of the world's most accomplished and in-demand executive coaches. He is very selective in choosing clients and will personally work with a maximum of eight clients at any one time. His coaching process is unique; he defines success and "better" not by his or his individual clients' qualifications, but by measurable positive change in pre-selected leadership behaviors as determined by pre-selected key stakeholders. Goldsmith's clients range from CEOs to C-level executives whose work is critically important to an organization.
