Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coaches Cohort 2 Announcement!

Описание: Dear Friends,
Greetings from Roanoke, Virginia to Mumbai, India!

The Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coaches ‘pay it forward’ project is officially in full swing, and I am excited to announce the next cohort of coaches who will join me in Phoenix in June!
For those of you who haven’t heard of the project, here is a little back story.

A couple of years ago, I attended a program led by my wonderful friend Ayse Birsel called Design the Life You Love. At the program, Ayse asked us to write down our heroes. I wrote down Frances Hesselbein (former CEO of the Girl Scouts and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom), Alan Mulally (former CEO of Ford and CEO of the year in the United States), Peter Drucker (founder of modern management), Paul Hersey (noted author, teacher, and personal mentor of mine), and Warren Bennis (one of the world’s greatest leadership thinkers of his time). Then Ayse asked us to describe what made us think of them as heroes. I wrote “great teachers” and “very generous.” She then challenged us to “be more like them” in designing the lives we love.

It was from this fantastic program that I came up with the idea to teach 15 people everything I know at no charge. In return, these 15 would do the same thing for 15 others, for free. I was inspired to do this by the many great teachers and leaders who have so generously helped me – without ever asking for anything in return. It is my way of recognizing the amazing contributions they have made in my life.

I made a 30-second video about the project for LinkedIn. It ended up becoming one of the most widely viewed videos in the history of LinkedIn. I was amazed when more than 12,000 people applied for the 15 positions. I have been very humbled and inspired by this overwhelming response, and so I expanded the project to 100 Coaches and now 100 Aspiring Coaches!

Our first cohort of 25 coaches has met twice. First in December 2016 in Phoenix where they learned from Alan Mulally as well as me. And more recently in New York City where we spent two days with two of the greatest leaders of our time, Frances Hesselbein and Dr. Jim Kim, President of the World Bank, and where they were formally trained in Stakeholder Centered Coaching by Dr. Frank Wagner, Chris Coffey, and Will Linssen. This first cohort is well on their way to sharing their new insights with the world!

It is time now to announce the second cohort. This diverse group of coaches are some of the top people in their fields and will come from around the world to join me in Phoenix June 23-25!

Life is good.
Marshall
