Dr. Marshall Goldsmith
Part 1: CUTV News Radio Welcomes Back Dr. Marshall Goldsmith
Rancho Santa Fe, CA – CUTV News today announced the world’s #1 Leadership Thinker and #1 Executive Coach Dr. Marshall Goldsmith will be a featured guest on CUTV News Radio.
Dr. Goldsmith is an authority on helping successful leaders achieve positive, lasting change in behavior for themselves, their people and their teams.
“A leader casts a long shadow. The higher up you go the longer that shadow grows. Positive change in the most influential leaders has an impact that can be felt across their entire organizations,” says Dr. Goldsmith. “The people I help have such an influence over so many other people; as they get better, literally thousands of people feel the impact.”
If you search “Helping Successful Leaders” on Google, of the first 500 entries are links to Marshall Goldsmith. Dr. Goldsmith has worked with over 200 major CEOs including Frances Hesselbein (Girl Scouts) to Alan Mulally (Ford). To date, nearly 2,000 people have been trained in Dr. Goldsmith’s coaching process.
Dr. Goldsmith says the best leaders want to work on being a role model.
“Every company has values, right? But if you don't see the CEO live that way, the values don't mean anything. And it's not just the CEO, it's the people who report to the CEO who are also very important, because they manage thousands of people. So they need to be great role models for whatever the values of the company are.”
“Although I work with CEOs, you don't have to be a CEO to use my process,” says Dr.Goldsmith. “Anyone can use this process to develop themselves because it relates to everybody.”

Gary Cohen of GAC Global Partners
Part 2: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Gary Cohen of GAC Global Partners
Jupiter, FL – Gary Cohen is a certified executive and leadership coach and the founder of GAC Global Partners, where he specializes in unlocking the potential in leaders. For the past 15 years, he has worked with senior and c-suite executives from SMEs to Fortune 100 companies.
“Executive coaching and leadership coaching is transformational,” says Cohen, “and it's incredibly fulfilling when you can help people transform to become much better versions of themselves.”
Prior to launching GAC Global Partners, Cohen led companies from the C-suite, but left his corporate career 15 years ago to pursue his burning passion to help others.
According to Cohen, the most overlooked population in organizations is middle management, even though they are the biggest population and the one that really drives the day-to-day business success from the front lines.
Of course, most organizations are unlikely to dedicate the financial resources to invest in one-on-one executive coaching for all middle managers. That’s why Cohen’s leadership development program called People2ProfitTM, is modeled as a course, with videos, exercises to more efficiently enhance the leadership skills of middle managers. Cohen also designed a similar program that targets individuals, called CareerSurgeTM.
Once clients take full responsibility for where they are today and own their situation going forward, Cohen assesses their behavioral style, motivation, emotional intelligence and critical thinking skills. Then he and his clients develop a comprehensive, tangible transformation plan.
“We all need to develop leadership skills. It benefits us even if we’re not in a business environment,” says Cohen.

Drs. Simon & Trish Presland of Aim Higher Professional Life Coach Certification
Part 2: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Drs. Simon & Trish Presland of Aim Higher Professional Life Coach Certification
Clinton Township, MI – Drs. Simon and Trish Presland are the founders of Aim Higher Professional Life Coach Certification, an ICF-accredited, Christian-based life coach certification company that combines sound Christian faith, strong coaching competencies and solid business practices.
“We teach, train, and equip people to be life coaches from a biblical perspective,” says Trish.
The Preslands first met while working on a book, and soon found they had many common interests.
When their home church, Evangel Christian Church, wanted to expand its state licensed and accredited Bible college to include a counseling program, they immediately agreed to oversee it as deans. They developed a Christian Counseling Institute, where they taught their 3-year curriculum. They also developed and taught customized workshops targeting specific areas for growth such as communication, conflict transformation, healthy identity, and belief systems.
When the Preslands realized that life coaching would be the next avenue for pastors and leaders of all ministerial and professional levels to move into, they decided to obtain their ICF credentials, the gold standard of coaching.
Five years ago, they developed Aim Higher Professional Life Coach Certification, a 60-hour program supported by Scripture that meets ACSTH standards to train individuals in the ICF core competencies, equip them with assessments and other coaching tools, and teach on coaching-related topics.
“Faith is the foundation of our lives and of life in general,” says Simon. “Faith enhances the coaching process. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and acknowledge him in all of your ways, knowing that he will direct your paths.”

Part 1: Close Up Radio Spotlights Bret Lampman & John Welsh of Choku-Rei Wellness & Coaching
Modesto, CA – Bret Lampman and John Welsh are the co-founders of Choku-Rei Wellness & Coaching.
Choku-Rei Wellness & Coaching offers a holistic way to improve your health, taking into account your body, mind, emotions and spirit.
“Holistic health and wellness looks at the entire person: how they interact with their environment, and how food, medications or stress impact their overall health” says Welsh. “It's not just one aspect of a person that needs healing: the physical, the emotional, the mental, the spiritual are all one thing; if you impact one part of the body, you impact the entire body.”
For individuals suffering from chronic pain, Choku-Rei Wellness & Coaching combines therapeutic body work with coaching for people who are motivated to make lifestyle changes.
“The coaching is a natural extension of the work,” says Lampman. “The coaching process helps you look at what's really going on in your life and what changes need to be made.”
What sets Choku-Rei apart is its commitment to educating their clients on their body’s unique needs.
“We tend to focus our treatment on the area of concern instead of thinking of ourselves as a system,” says Lampman. “All the work we do isn't going to help if the source of the physical pain is emotional stress. We have to remove the cause to remove the symptoms.”
Choku-Rei translates to “May the power of God be with you.”
“We are here to learn to heal,” says Welsh. “We're here to learn how to share our gifts.”

Jean Francois Morin of xpand
Part 2: CUTV News Radio Welcomes Back Jean Francois Morin of xpand
Quebec City, Quebec – xpand is an international consulting, coaching and training consortium that specializes in helping organizations and their people find their calling and reach their full potential. Jean Francois Morin leads xpand Canada.
“It’s all about growing to their next level of leadership, which is healthy leadership,” says Morin. “Healthy leadership to us is about developing self-leadership, team leadership and organizational leadership. Healthy leadership trickles down throughout the organization. That's our basic mission.”
According to Morin, many organizations with a traditional authoritarian-based management model would do better letting in more inspiration. Organizations who design a shared value, co-responsible model of leadership, are more flexible and provide top level customer service experience.
“The world is changing; we have to be fit and adapt. So wherever an organization is on the spectrum, we help it grow to the next level,” says Morin. “We believe in value-centered leadership, which is about building the leader’s character and competence. It's a growing process, of helping them identify how they can best contribute to the organization, considering the mission and the objectives and the strategic planning of the organization.”
To help strategize for the future, xpand’s clients explore their values, talents, motivating circumstances through their history, in a creative life planning process designed to move on to the next steps in achieving mastery. Building healthy organizations is about intentionally designing.

Keisha Robinson of A Touch of Key LLC
Philadelphia, PA – When people are able to extract themselves from their pain, from their challenges and their struggle, they are almost always compelled to help other people.
Keisha Robinson in one such person.
Keisha grew up in the heart of drug-infested north Philadelphia, where she became a product of her environment. She was homeless, addicted to drugs and on probation.
Finally, Keisha found her will to thrive again.
She contacted my probation officer to say she didn't want to be in the environment she was in and needed help.
“I placed myself in a recovery house for two years to clean up,” recalls Keisha. “When I got out, my mind started to change. My social world changed.”
Once Keisha I realized how much power she had within her, she needed to take it a step further. That’s when she discovered life coaching.
“I’ve always had a passion to help people,” recalls Keisha. “Growing up, everybody used to gravitate to me to ask questions or to help them with things. I never understood why.
Today, Robinson is the founder of A Touch of Key, a nonprofit community outreach organization dedicated to empowering the people who need it most. Her ultimate goal is feed as many mouths as I can feed and to touch as many hearts as she can.
“I want to be able to help the community,” says Keisha. “I chose youth guidance because a child’s social world can deteriorate in the blink of an eye, and they often don't know how to express themselves. I want to be their voice because I’ve been where they’ve been, and I know I would rather listen to someone that actually walked the path. It's a constant reminder of where I came from because I'm constantly uplifting people.”

ADHD Coach Jill Linkoff
Pikesville, MD – While medication may help with focus and impulsivity, those with ADHD still struggle with executive function challenges like emotional dysregulation, organizational skills and time management.
ADHD coaches are extensively educated, trained and experienced in working with the specific needs and objectives of individuals with ADHD and executive function challenges.

Whether diagnosed 30 years ago or last week, Linkoff ensures her clients are made aware of and understand the coexisting conditions of ADHD.
“Pills don't build skills,” says Linkoff. “Some believe medication solves everything, but that's not how it works. That’s why I work with education first. Everybody comes to this differently. There are still many people who believe ADHD doesn't exist. The more you understand, the easier it’s going to be to advocate for yourself.”
Linkoff is co-running a weekly women’s support group through Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD), the nation's leading nonprofit organization serving individuals affected by ADHD.

Divorce Coach Heather Crimmins
Batavia, IL – Divorce is one of the most emotionally difficult life events a person can go through. This is why many people are turning to Certified Divorce Coaches (CDC) like Heather Crimmins.
Heather Crimmins is a CDC who believes with proper guidance divorce can also end up being a precious gift.
Heather herself has been divorced twice. She was not aware divorce coaching existed until four years ago, when she went to contact her attorney from her first divorce 15 years prior. While he no longer worked at the firm, Heather saw they had a certified divorce coach on staff.
“I thought, ‘What on earth is that?’” recalls Heather.
It turns out it was something she had already been doing unprofessionally for decades. Once she had done her research and connected with Co-Founder and President of the professional standard in the industry, she realized her decades of informal coaching with family and friends had prepared her for this career opportunity.
Today, Heather’s goal is to help clients gain much needed traction out of the ditch of divorce and shepherd them toward their best possible outcome.
A CDC can be used at any time along the divorce process. It would be best at the start yet one can be brought in at any time; especially to help alleviate the contention and present credible cases to the court at each milestone of the process. This helps the efficiency of the case and saves clients time and money in the long run.
Heather allows her clients the safe space to talk through a litany of emotions and questions that bubble up when in the thick of it. Clients can move more easily through the process and be proud of their behavior through the tumult.
“I just have the willingness and the passion to help people help themselves,” says Heather.
