Marshall Goldsmith—arguably the best exec coach on the planet—asks himself a set of yes/no questions every day. And he's been doing it for decades.
Each one begins: "Did I do my best to..."
Not to succeed, but to try. Effort is the metric.
Examples:
– Be present with my family?
– Focus on what I can control?
– Move my body?
Fun fact: This is simple—and exquisitely difficult.
Most folks can’t do it consistently for two weeks.
This is the best system I know for shifting perspective and behavior.
It's a great day to be coachable.
