Gail Golden is back on the podcast for part two of our conversation. In this episode we talk about her philosophy of curation over trying to juggle things until we find that elusive balance that everyone seems to always talk about. We also talk about perception, comparison, and finding happiness in the pursuit of our desired outcomes.
Gail Golden, MBA, Ph.D., helps people hit peak performance and become better leaders by drawing on her unique cross-background perspective. As a licensed psychologist and an MBA-holding entrepreneur, Gail understands both the emotions and the economics successful C-suite executives must master.
Her unique approach combines sports-influenced tactics of performance coaching with psychology-trained skills of empathy to bring the best out of businesses, leaders, and employees. Gail specializes in helping companies and leaders handle rapid change, build high-performing talent, avoid burnout, plan for succession, and drive success.
Current and former clients include Best Buy, BMO Harris Bank, The Chicago Architecture Center, Northern Trust, Mead Johnson, Table XI, Vi Living, and Weber Shandwick, among many others.
Gail’s book, Curating Your Life, was published by Rowman & Littlefield in April 2020. The book is based on what she’s learned over more than two decades of helping leaders of all types maximize their achievements. Curating Your Life is full of advice on how to direct your energy toward identifying and accomplishing your most important goals.
Gail has extensive experience as a public speaker and media commentator, and has taught courses at the Booth School of Business of the University of Chicago. She has been quoted in Fast Company, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Today's Chicago Woman, Crain’s Chicago Business, The Chicago Tribune, and numerous other publications.
To help businesses and leaders apply her insights, Gail has developed and led workshops in corporate settings on a variety of topics, including building a culture of innovation, becoming a powerful leader, and developing high performance teams.
