Introduction4:10
I'm now going to teach you a different way of looking at life.
I think if you just learn this way of looking at life, it's going to help you: First, to appreciate your past more, and, second, to do a better job of planning your future.
Your Future Self4:32
We all make mistakes in life.
You Can Be More3:31
I'm often asked a question. “How did you get into this field? What led you to be in this leadership development or coaching world, anyway?”
Well, I'll tell you part of the story.
An Excessive Need To Be Me3:31
When I coach people, one of the things I'm very sensitive about is when anyone ever says, "I'm no good at this," or "I can't do this," or "This is just the way I am."
Daily Questions for Self-Improvement4:59
Half the people who start doing this quit within two weeks, and they do not quit because it does not work – they quit because it does work.

Remember how lucky you are4:42
It can be difficult to put things in perspective. It can be difficult to remember, for most of us, how lucky we really are.
The Success Delusion5:01
Everyone I coach is not only a successful person — these people are mega successful people.
Do Not Become Attached to Results5:28
The Bhagavad Gita, perhaps, the most widely read poem in the history of the world, makes a profound point: Never become attached to results.
Why Don't We Do What We Should Do?4:37
I've got some good news. People that do this stuff, guess what? They get better. And the people who don't, well, they don't get worse. They stay about the same.
Play The Shot in Front of You6:27
A referent group is who we compare ourselves to. A referent group has people we want to be like. If we truly understand the concept of a referent group, a lot of behavior that may not seem to make sense, starts making perfect sense. In my case, it's not too hard to figure out my referent group.
Positive Recognition3:08
Make a list of the most important people in your life. Friends, family, direct reports, coworker, whoever it is that you want to do a good job of giving positive recognition to.

Look in the Mirror3:55
When You See Problems in Others, Look in the Mirror.
Decisions Are Not Always Fair4:15
Whoever has the power to make the decision is going to make the decision.
Avoid Speaking When Angry3:23
I'm not an expert on brain dynamics, but from what I've read, once we get angry, our IQ goes down about 20 points. And when you get angry, your odds on saying something stupid skyrocket.
Don't Punch The Messenger4:56
I'm going to give you two examples of ego and pride, a negative and a positive.
Do What You love6:27
What matters in life? If we look at life, what is really important?
Don't Put Your Job Ahead of Your Career3:29
You can fall into a terrible trap when you just have to do a perfect job. Here’s an example.
Don't Make Excuses4:16
The time we waste on making excuses is time that is stolen from getting better.

The Earning Checklist6:49
What are the variables that are going to be associated with you achieving whatever you want to achieve in life?
Follow-Up5:14
The next step is to involve people.
Credibility6:41
Look at your own life and ask yourself this question, "Where am I trying to prove myself?"
It's Showtime!5:03
That's a very great way to look at life.
Team Building Without Time Wasting5:10
Where is one place you can practice team-building without time-wasting? If you get at all a chance, give it a try.
Facing Your Blindside4:26
Our blindside is made up of those parts of our life where other people can see things in us that we do not see in ourselves. And we all have a blindside.
The Power of No Choice4:38
As we journey through life we often believe choice is good: I have options, I can do what I want to, choice is great.
Well, maybe not.

Description

This brand new video coaching programs feature powerful lessons from on Marshall Goldsmith’s newest bestseller, The Earned Life: Lose Regret, Choose Fulfillment.

In these programs, Goldsmith offers practical advice and exercises aimed at helping you shed obstacles, especially failures of imagination, that prevent you from leading a fulfilling life.

Lessons that he teaches his clients, lessons that have made him the most sought after executive coach in the world.

In this online coaching program, Marshall has adapted some of the most powerful lessons from his book to challenge your unproductive attachment to outcome, and to show you how to live free of regret by connecting to something greater than the isolated and fleeting achievements of careerism.

In The Earned Life, Marshall Goldsmith challenges your unproductive attachment to outcomes and reveals the key to living unbound by regret, by helping you connect to something greater than the isolated and fleeting achievements of careerism:

“We are living an earned life when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives, regardless of the eventual outcome.”

That’s the definition of an earned life. But for many of us, that pesky final phrase is a stumbling block: “regardless of the eventual outcome.” Not being attached to the outcome goes against everything we’re taught about achievement and fulfillment in modern society.
