POWER to Live More with Jo Dodds

Todd Palmer is a keynote speaker, retired CEO, and coach at Extraordinary Advisors. He knows that growth happens through leaning into the uncomfortable.

In 2006 as a struggling entrepreneur with a floundering business that was $600,000 in debt, he worked hard to guide his company out of trouble. He made the business one of America’s fastest-growing companies and made it into the INC 5000 a record total of six times.

As a Coach with Extraordinary Advisors, Todd works with organisations and business leaders to help them go through transformative changes to achieve high-level success. Todd is also the author of The Job Search Process: Find & Land a Great Job in 6 Weeks or Less and From Suck to Success: A Guide to Extraordinary Entrepreneurship.

In today’s episode, Todd shares his story of going from a corporate role to coaching CEOs and leaders. He shares how his business changed from working in a traditional office environment to working from home with clients worldwide.

He reveals the business model he uses to coach his clients and prioritise time between family and work.

He highlights some of the challenging effects COVID has had on his clients and how he specialises in helping business leaders get unstuck.

He explains why he decided to reach out to a coach when he struggled in his own business and what tools he uses to help manage his busy schedule.

Todd reveals the parallels he has noticed between the addiction mindset and a negative entrepreneurial mentality. He also shares how he continually challenges himself to learn something new.

“If you tried it and it didn’t work, and you learned something from it, it’s an absolute success.”

David Nielson is the founder and CEO of DNA Worldwide, a management consulting firm that specialises in the execution of business strategy implementation and large-scale change.

David considers himself a life-long learner, which led to the writing and publication of his book The 9 Dimensions of Conscious Success: It’s All About You, a reflection on his life journey and how he hopes it can positively influence others.

David spent 18 years in the corporate world, and another 33 years as a leadership consultant and executive coach to organisations and this prompted him to share his expertise on how to have a positive impact as a leader with a wider audience.

David joins me today to discuss what inspired him to write his book and why he felt it was the right time to share his thoughts on self-reflection in relation to the world of work.

He shares his reflections on the problematic personal journey which led to him finding his purpose in life and how he raised his self-awareness and ensured that his best self was always showing up.

David also shares why he is working more from his home in the Colorado mountains that he shares with his wife and two dogs rather than jumping on a plane to work elsewhere (this was recorded prior to our current world challenges), and how he deals with days when he faces challenges by acknowledging his frustration and asking what he should be learning from the problem.

“Fundamentally leadership is about influence.”

Marnie Nir is an Executive Life Coach and the Chief Creative Officer at Handel Group. Marnie graduated from UCLA with a degree in Russian Literature and spent several years travelling, working in music and, most notably, working for the Moscow circus.

After settling down in Connecticut with her husband, Marnie found herself in need of purpose and direction. Her sister, Lauren Handel Zander, introduced her to the Handel Method and, from there, the two embarked on a partnership as coaches and leaders.

Marnie also continues to explore her creative work as a blogger, columnist and co-created the animated show MotherUp!, which ran on Hulu in 2013.

Today Marnie and I discuss how she got involved in her sister’s company, the Handel Group, and how it has transformed her life.

She outlines the modules for the Handel Method and offers her insights into why the steps are effective and how to incorporate them into your life.

Marnie touches on how previous traumas or failures can keep us from achieving our dreams and how you can move past them for a more successful future.

She also discusses how letting go of negative self-talk can be the key to understanding our true nature and to finding happiness and inspiration in our lives.

“You don’t have to lead a perfect life. You just have to walk the talk and be able to talk about it when you trip and fall.”

• What the Handel Method is and why it’s effective
• How to create lasting change
• Why the Handel Method takes a holistic approach to help you find and follow your dreams
• An outline of the Handel process of self-exploration to achieve happiness
