What it’s actually like to work with Todd
Todd Palmer, Executive Coach and entrepreneur believes in coaching the person, not the problem — as the business owner, you are the problem and the solution.
Todd builds a customized program for every person he works with. He coaches the person, names the organizational consequence of the pattern, and then helps you build a practical response — the conversation, the structure, the plan you can run without him.
His job is clarity, safety, challenge, accountability, and opportunity. Yours is deciding whether you’re willing to grow. He is not the fixer. And you’re not buying two scheduled conversations a month — you’re getting a thinking partner who will look at the email, the P&L, the job description, or the comp plan while it’s happening. It’s the 7am Tuesday text before you send the email you’ll regret.
Watch Todd speak with one of his clients as they reflect on the transformational impact coaching has had, not just for her business growth but her personal well-being.
