Marshall Goldsmith - What is an Earned Life?

Marshall Goldsmith is my guest on the final episode of Season II of The Indispensable Conversation.    If you're unfamiliar, Marshall is an elite executive coach and a New York Times Number 1 best selling author. His body of work has earned several highly acclaimed distinctions, including:   Harvard Business Review - World’s #1 Leadership Thinker,   American Management Association - 50 great thinkers who have influenced the field of management  Bloomberg Businessweek - 50 great leaders in America.   Global Gurus - Corps D ’Elite Award for Lifetime Contribution in both Leadership and Coaching,    But, it is the fact that his latest book, “The Earned Life” is so highly regarded within today's top leadership circles that makes Marshall the perfect guest to tackle this question with me:   What is an earned life?   It is a critically essential question for us all to answer for ourselves in these uncertain times.  Additionally, it may very well lead to us taking on related questions, like:    1. What is the source of today’s existential crisis?  2. I always thought ‘empathy’ was a great thing. How can it cause more harm than good?   3. What do you say is one of the most common challenges of the successful people you coach?  4. What do you mean by ‘credibility has to be earned twice’?  5. How can we balance our persistent need to win with the ‘stuff happens’ unfairness of life?   You won't want to miss this episode!  Listen to it now.
