Prominent business thinkers will discuss the influence of personal values on career success, individual happiness, and a meaningful life. As former Medtronic CEO and acclaimed author Bill George has stated “Leaders who do not take time for introspection and reflection may be vulnerable to being seduced by external rewards, such as power, money, and recognition. Or they may feel a need to appear so perfect to others that they cannot admit vulnerabilities and acknowledge mistakes.” George added that some of the recent difficulties of Hewlett-Packard, British Petroleum, CEOs of failed Wall Street firms, and dozens of leaders who failed in the post-Enron era are examples. The series begins with Marshall Goldsmith, a world authority in helping successful leaders get even better – by achieving positive, lasting change in behavior: for themselves, their people and their teams.
“There is a school of thought in business coaching that believes in strict adherence to a behavior modification model, one that is based on changing a client’s reaction to external conditions” said Yip. “However, in Marshall’s new book Mojo, he states that a person’s identity, her self-definition, is one of the building blocks of a positive spirit. During our interview, I first asked him to explain how coaching to change a client’s identity is different from coaching to change behavior.” Goldsmith described his talk with Bono, and the evolution of U2 singer’s identity from rock star to include a humanitarian persona. Later in the interview, Goldsmith gave his advice on how to be happy and let go of guilt. “Marshall used parables to deftly illustrate his insights for releasing the emotional burdens that chain us to habitual patterns and prevent us from experiencing self-acceptance,” Yip stated.
