ATG 73: Stop trying to be Ideal You and grow Actual You – My conversation with Marshall Goldsmith

<p>We all have a version of ourselves we want to be, but can we actually become the ideal version of ourselves? And is that really necessary? <br/><br/>Over the course of his nearly 40-year career, world-renowned executive coach and <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Marshall Goldsmith has sold millions of copies of his books and coached more than 200 CEOs and their teams. He deeply understands how certain behavioral changes can help you avoid pitfalls on the way to successful careers and lives. He joins me for a conversation about how you can stack the deck in your favor and achieve your best performance in work and in life.
