Unstuck

Break Through What’s Holding You Back and Create Results That Stick

Eventually, most successful people hit a barrier.

The energy that pushed your success begins to diminish. The accolades that once felt important no longer do. The way forward feels uncertain. Meanwhile, the world around you continues to churn, faster than ever. Something is changing—in you, around you, or both—and the strategies that once got the job done no longer create the same results.

In Unstuck, change leadership expert Vered Kogan and world-renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith examine why so many intelligent, competent people feel stuck and what is needed to break through. Drawing on decades of coaching high performers, they explain that stuckness is not failure. More often, it shows you the way to your next level of growth.

With a mix of behavioral science, leadership insight, practical tools, and deeply human stories, Unstuck aids readers in understanding the hidden patterns that lead to stress, burnout, overthinking, perfectionism, and procrastination. You’ll discover how to work with resistance instead of against it, regulate pressure before it overtakes your thinking, and develop the internal conditions where lasting change can blossom.

But this is not just about individual growth. It’s also about helping teams and organizations to break away from patterns that keep them stifled in debunked mindsets and methods of working. In a time of accelerating change, increasing complexity, and massive uncertainty, the leaders who find success are those who can authentically influence others to grow and adapt under pressure.

Unstuck offers a new path for handling and leading change from the inside out so you can leverage one of today’s most meaningful advantages: the ability to get unstuck and help others do the same.
