Welcome to the SureSkills Learn to Grow Podcast where we discuss the learning landscape with leaders in learning. My guest today is Dr. Ruth Gotian.

Dr. Gotian is the Chief Learning Officer at Weill Cornell Medicine and a highly sought after executive coach and mentor – in fact she’s been named one the Thinkers50 top 50 executive coaches in the world. Dr. Gotian studies and works with elite high achievers, from Nobel Laureates to Astronauts to Olympic athletes, using that knowledge to establish principles anyone can apply to achieve success in their careers and in their daily lives.

We discussed

  • how averages can actually be limitations for individuals,
  • the power of “taking yourself on as a project”,
  • and the importance of an environment audit when it comes to setting and achieving your goals.

This conversation is filled with some great advice and actionable info – enjoy!
