Enact Meaningful & Lasting Change

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith is a leading authority on how successful leaders achieve positive, lasting behavior.  The author of Triggers: Creating Behavior That Lasts–Becoming the Person You Want to Be  and the international best seller What Got You Here Won’t Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful

In this fast-paced, interactive webcast, Marshall will share his insights on:

• Why we don’t become the person we want to be
• Why change is so difficult for all of us and …
• He will illustrate how triggers from our environment can derail us in our journey through life.

Marshall will share his insights on employee engagement and illustrate how the most important factor in the engagement equation – the employee – has been neglected in most research.

He will share a new model, “The Wheel of Change,” that can be used for life planning, team building, or even organizational analysis.

Finally, participants will learn how daily questions – and especially active questions – can be used to both increase effectiveness and build engagement.

Learn:

• Identify internal and external triggers – allowing you to anticipate, avoid, or adjust to situations that would normally cause trouble
• Follow through on becoming the person you want to be
• Increase personal effectiveness and improve performance and well-being.
