    Inspiring legacy of lasting impact

    Marshall Goldsmith has long provided inspiration for hundreds of thousands of coaches, leaders and talent practitioners globally. The Earned Life provides a wonderful view into the life's work of one of coaching's most prominent and generous thought leaders. Featuring real stories and experiences from a wide cross section of people whose lives have been changed as a result of Marshall's methods and teachings, The Earned Life is both inspirational and educational in equal measure. Life is good and this movie provides a window into how to live that good life even more fully. Wonderful viewing for all interested in how to move from theory to practice and those curious to explore the many benefits that coaching can provide.

    Earn your life every day

    Yesterday is over, who knows if we are here tomorrow. Only what you do in the present really counts as that is the only moment you can act to change for a better. "Life is good" could have bern the title of this movie as it transmit the only urgency that truly matters: Carpe diem and do it with a positive attitude. Always. A great documentary with many great people conveying important messages to the spectator any leader and leader to be should watch.

    The Earned Life, indeed earned its impact to those lives touched by Marshall.

    The Earned Life, indeed earned its impact to those lives touched by Marshall. It depicted a wonderful life journey about Marshall's work and life. Marshall is not only the #1 leadership thinker and executive coach, but also a fine human being who made those in touch of him a better version of self at work as well as at home! Modeling the way: Marshall's courage to be authentic, to be vulnerable, and to be funny, at the same time, so courageous and bold to tell uncomfortable truth and show the needed tough-love are just an amazing mix. What a smiling Buddha with a loving heart and wisdom in work and life! Thank you.

    Goes by in a Flash

    Marshall Goldsmith goes through the fundamentals of his leadership approach, with four building blocks (courage, humility, discipline, and adaptability). Each theme is supported by examples, and comments from the past.

    For all that, he takes time to get some guidance, along the way, from his personal assistant. That humanizes the documentary.

    I like his reflections on people from his life that inspired his journey. He is funny, insightful, and entertaining, all at once. His stuff works, but he is the product, too.

    It is nice to see him share the stage with many of his top clients and coaches. Goldsmith is a positive change catalyst. It is easy to see why he attracts so many CEO-level supporters.

    Legacy of Leadership Coach Marshall Goldsmith

    Really very inspiring documentary with four qualities.of successful leaders. They are courage,humility, discipline and adaptability. The biggest inspiration punchline message of Marshall Goldsmith for me is, If you have a dream, follow that dream. It is your life. Follow Your Dream is a captivating and deeply inspiring message that celebrates the extraordinary journey of Coach Marshall Goldsmith. Through its poignant storytelling and powerful message, the film serves as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the profound impact one individual can have when they dare to follow their dreams. Mahesh Trivedi from Sydney.
