Hello, my name is Marchall Goldsmith and I’m an executive educator, I’m an executive coach and I’m an author.
I am very excited to talk about our a 100 Coaches project. So I’ve tried to pick a great group of people and I really love the people I’ve selected. One thing I’ve been amazed about in our 100 coaches so far is not that they’re smart; I read their BIOS I know every one of these people is very smart people. What I’ve been amazed is how nice they are as well how kind, how generous.
