Marshall Goldsmith endorses the research into the field of relational chemistry in coaching for Janice Perkins.

There are three main killers of chemistry that show up in our personal and professional interactions. Power is the first one explored here.

As a leader, how do you show up for others when you are at your edges? Do you make impact, grow and learn or do you shrink and attack?

When you meet someone and you instantly click - what really happened? I use an example of four strangers in a golf tournament who clicked to explain what takes place as chemistry emerges.

Through my doctoral research on chemistry, I draw connections between the findings and the energy of the pelaton in the Tour de France 2026

Leaders spend copious amounts of time chasing buy-in with their teams. What if chemistry is actually what you need? Chemistry is there readily available within teams waiting to emerge. Understanding what chemistry is and how it functions can save leaders time and be a more efficient way to get teams mutually oriented to the same goals.

What if the trust problem in your team, organization, or relationship isn't actually a trust problem? In this video, Janice Perkins, PhD, PCC, shares a key finding from her doctoral research on chemistry in executive coaching: chemistry often emerges before trust and may be the catalyst that accelerates connection, confidence, collaboration, and meaningful progress. Learn how chemistry functions as a dynamic relational system, why shared meaning-making matters, and how continuity and rhythm create the conditions for stronger professional relationships. If you've ever struggled with engagement, alignment, or trust, this conversation offers a different lens for understanding human connection and leadership. #Leadership #ExecutiveCoaching #Trust #LeadershipDevelopment #OrganizationalCulture #Chemistry #HumanConnection #ExecutiveLeadership
