He is ranked by Global Guru as one of the top 30 best Coaches in the world and one of the top 30 best leadership speakers and trainers in the world. He is also the award-winning, best-selling author and contributor of 18 books, including most recently, Leading with Emotional Courage: How to Have Hard Conversations, Create Accountability, and Inspire Action on Your Most Important Work.. His book, 18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done, was a Wall Street Journal bestseller, winner of the Gold medal from the Axiom Business Book awards, named the best business book of the year by NPR, and selected by Publisher’s Weekly and the New York Post as a top ten business book.

Quotes:

“I think my career has been incredibly unstrategic and not very well thought out ahead of time though it makes a tremendous amount of sense in retrospect which I think is very healthy.”

“The beautiful thing about running your own company is when I’m bored I get to change it.”

“Most of my writing happens when I’m trying to figure something out and the writing helps me figure it out. And that’s much more exciting writing for me.”

“In some ways, my life’s work is to understand how to help people close the gap between what they know and what they do.”

“Our work is a part of who we are, we are not a part of the work.”

“You don’t wanna feel the risk of failure so you don’t wanna take the risk.”

“To be able to feel things and not lose yourself in the face of feeling things is like the magic sauce.”
