Marshall Goldsmith
Helping Successful Leaders Get Even Better: HR and Peer Coaching for Busy Leaders in Tough Times

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith is a world authority in helping successful leaders achieve positive, lasting change in behavior: for themselves, their people and their teams. In this fast-paced, interactive session, Dr. Goldsmith will discuss why it can be so challenging for successful leaders to change. He will then describe how to use ‘what to stop’ in development and coaching. Participants will get to practice feedforward – a positive tool for learning that has been successfully implemented around the world. Marshall will then share the results from research involving over 86,000 respondents and show how leaders can use proven processes to develop themselves and coach their people. Finally, he will share recent research which shows how HR and peer coaches can achieve the same positive results as external coaches – and deliver these results in a manner that saves time and money – which is critical in today’s tough economy.

About Marshall

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith has been recognized by: the American Management Association – 50 great thinkers and leaders who have influenced the field of management over the past 80 years, BusinessWeek – the most influential practitioners in the history of leadership development, The Wall Street Journal – top ten executive educators, Forbes – five most-respected executive coaches, the Economist – most credible executive advisors in the new era of business and Fast Company – America’s pre-eminent executive coach. He is one of the few executive advisors who have been asked to work with over 100 major CEOs and their management teams. Marshall is the author or editor of 25 books, including What Got You Here Won’t Get You There – a New York Times bestseller, Wall Street Journal #1 business book and Harold Longman Award winner for Best Business Book of the Year.

NEW Masters Series

Karl Schoemer
The New Reality! A Masters Series Session

The time for “managing” change is over. In today’s fast-paced global economy, the new expectation is to Seize Change and make it work for you – actually make change part of your individual and organizational competitive edge. This Masters Series Session explores the individual and organizational dynamics of the change process, and gives you guidelines and strategies you can use immediately in order to seize change and make it part of your competitive advantage. And with “The New Reality” handbook, you’ll be able to continue to apply these principles, long after the session is over.

In today’s continually changing, complex environment we need to increase the level of engagement of every one of our employees and associates. This requires each individual be equipped with the skills and tools needed to operate amidst constant, tumultuous, complex change. The New Reality shows you how to do just that. It’s no longer about “changing the culture”. Today it’s about creating a Change Adaptive Culture that continues to align with a shifting, changing, moving, marketplace.

In this fast paced session you will learn how to deal more effectively with the dynamics of change, how to mitigate the natural drop in productivity as a result of change, and what behaviors to reward and consequence in order to make your organization more Change Adaptive.
