S04 EP08 Bill Zeeb
What happens when a Lean Six Sigma leader, stakeholder-centred executive coach, and extreme endurance athlete reflects on the 5 most influential people in his life?
In this episode of People Are Everything, Julia Duthie speaks with Bill Zeeb (based near Geneva, Switzerland/France) about the people who shaped his life and work — from mastering process improvement and leadership measurement, to the power of coaching, human development, and the mindset shift that comes with life’s hardest challenges.
Bill shares:
- The mentor who shaped his Lean Six Sigma mastery and leadership training of 2,000+ leaders
- The coaching influence of Marshall Goldsmith and the “no growth, no pay” approach
- The leadership framework work of Bob Anderson and Bill Adams (Leadership Circle)
- The lived impact of being supported by his wife Jordan, especially through health challenges
- Funny moments (Maggie the dog!) plus a surprising “million dollar note” offer…
This is a conversation about growth, accountability, energy, and living on purpose — and why the people around us change everything.
The 5 most influential people Bill names
- Renée (Lawrence Renée) French – Bill’s key influence in Lean Six Sigma, apprenticeship, and human-centred leadership.
- Marshall Goldsmith – stakeholder-centred coaching, “pay it forward,” measurable behaviour change, and “did I do my best to…” daily questions.
- Bob Anderson – leadership stages (reactive → creative → integral → unity), Unity Academy, and deep development work.
- Bill Adams – scaling leadership measurement and systems through Leadership Circle; community-building across Europe.
- Jordan (Bill’s wife) – life partner through light/dark, shared coaching world, and a grounded counterbalance (plus training girls to say “no”).
This is a conversation about growth, accountability, energy, and living on purpose — and why the people around us change everything.
Because at the end of everything — people are everything.
