Marshall Goldsmith
If we can stop, listen, and think about what others are seeing in us, we have a great opportunity.

Marshall Goldsmith
If we become aware of what's happening before we act, behaviour becomes a function of choice rather than a result of an impulse or trigger. You begin to control your world more as opposed to the outside world controlling you.
Marshall Goldsmith
One of the most dysfunctional beliefs of successful people is our contempt for simplicity and structure. We believe that we are above needing structure to help us on seemingly simple tasks.
Marshall Goldsmith
