Description

Answer six simple questions daily and you can change almost anything.

If you’ve ever hit a goal and thought, Now what?—you’re not alone. Permanence is your tool for lasting success—not the kind that’s here one day and gone the next, but the kind that sticks with you. How? Small, consistent steps—six questions daily—that keep you focused, on track, and synced with what you care about most.

The real challenge isn’t just getting there. It’s staying there. In this book, you’ll learn the Daily Question Process, how to use feedforward instead of feedback, and how to build systems of accountability that actually work. You’ll stop thinking about quick wins and start getting better and better in a sustained way—driven by who you want to be, not what others are doing.

Whether you’re leading a team or leading yourself, Permanence helps you eliminate distractions, track what matters, and create permanent habits that get you where you want to be—not just once, but for the long haul. 

Success isn’t a one-time event. It’s about showing up for yourself, every day. This book gets you there, and keeps you there.

Advance Praise

“Change isn’t the hard part—it’s making it last that is. Permanence gives you the tools and daily practices you need to finally stop slipping back into old patterns. This is a practical road map to lasting growth and the life you actually want.”
—Mel Robbins, New York Times bestselling author of The Let Them Theory and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast

—Michael Bungay Stanier, bestselling author of The Coaching Habit and The Advice Trap

“Six minutes. Two questions. Everything changes. Transformation isn’t about elaborate systems or expensive solutions, but the radical simplicity of showing up for yourself daily. In Permanence, you’ll discover a battle-tested practice that will disrupt your autopilot existence and allow you to scale the curve of your potential. Permanently.”
—Whitney Johnson, CEO, Disruption Advisors; global top-ten management thinker, Thinkers50; Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Smart Growth and Disrupt Yourself

Permanence is both profound and practical. It’s also a joy to read. The authors show how small steps are the key to big change—and measuring is an essential part of nurturing growth. Ostensibly a guide to becoming a better person, this is really a book about leadership. To earn the right to lead others, start with this book.”
—Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership, Harvard Business School; author of Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well

Permanence is a powerful reminder that real change doesn’t come from big declarations—it comes from small, daily choices and consistent effort. Marshall Goldsmith’s Daily Questions have helped countless leaders, including me, stay focused on becoming who they want to be. Lisa Broderick brings this process to life with clarity and heart. If you want to lead with intention and live with purpose, read this book.”
—Garry Ridge, chairman emeritus, WD-40 Company; USA Today bestselling author, Any Dumb-Ass Can Do It 

“I LOVE this book. In these pages are practical tools for you to become the person you want to be . . . and stay that way! Lisa and Marshall’s teachings have changed my life, and I am a six-question addict! They are game changers. Permanence gets to the point and is easy to read and reread. It will make your life better, I promise. Treat yourself!”

—Dorie Clark, author of The Long Game and Reinventing You

“Changing behaviors that undermine us is easy, but maintaining change over time is hard. As resistance sets in, we revert to familiar patterns that feel hard-wired. That’s why Lisa and Marshall’s manual for sustaining positive behavioral change is such a breakthrough. It offers a practical, energizing, and time-tested way to become your best self—and to stay that way for the rest of your life.”
—Sally Helgesen, author of How Women Rise, Rising Together, and The Female Advantage 

Permanence unlocks the secrets to sustainable change with the precision of a surgeon and the heart of an empath.”
