His mega-bestseller, Just Listen, is regarded as the world's #1 book on listening. Among his extensive list of professional achievements, Dr. Goulston has been a hostage negotiation trainer for the FBI; a consultant for renowned companies (including Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Disney); a contributor to the Harvard Business Review; and author of 9 books that have been translated into 28 languages. Since we first met in Episode 109, Dr. Goulston has become a close friend and mentor of mine. He's exceptionally good at what he does and I look forward to any opportunity we get to catch up. Recently, Dr. Goulston was given some unexpected news that made him rethink everything he's doing in his life. I asked if he'd be up for a conversation on the podcast so we could talk about that openly and help others who might be in a similar situation... Like he has done with every request I've asked of him, he graciously agreed. In this episode: How to save your marriage and create happiness with your family A simple exercise to win every day The gift of death – and the urgency of doing good; and How to get clear on what’s most important to you, before it’s too late.

"If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door." – Milton Berle Learning how to manufacture opportunity when you need it is one of the most important skills you can develop. And today's guest, Lauren Karan, has become an expert at building doors... Growing up, Lauren had one dream – to be a professional singer. At 19 years old, Lauren got her first shot at the big time, auditioning for the hit TV show X Factor. After making it through to the final stage, the aspiring singer fell victim to the pressure and spectacle of the occasion – a moment that crushed her confidence and caused her to rethink everything she wanted out of life. But the devastating failure created space for a new opportunity, when Lauren landed her first role in the recruitment industry. With a natural talent for problem solving, relationships, and business, it was a slam dunk. Today, Lauren is founder and director of Karan & Co, Australia’s most disruptive recruitment agency, where she transforms companies that want to find – and retain – the best people. Lauren’s family focus allows her to truly partner with her clients who recognize that caring more about people is what unlocks the real profitability and goodwill of a business. In this episode: Why companies struggle to find and keep the right people How to balance family with career What failure taught Lauren about future possibilities; and How to build doors and turbocharge your career.
