“Our sales are up 70% and our
profits have increased by a factor of
5 since hiring Extraordinary Advisors.”
-Tom Schwab | CEO, Interview Valet
REVEAL THE AUTHENTIC LEADER WITHIN.
You won’t learn how to be a leader from Extraordinary Advisors – or any other executive business coach. Leadership can’t be taught. Your ability to lead comes from within you.

Your transformation begins with Massive Accountability. We help CEOs like you make the necessary and frequently uncomfortable changes to achieve your full business and personal potential. Once you face your discomfort with curiosity and gratitude, you’ll be able to successfully lead your team through issues with people, strategy, cash, and execution – in that order.
Our flexible process meets you where you are in your career and life. Discover the power of your full potential by working with a coach who has concrete experience in the highs and lows of leadership, life, and business. Reveal the Authentic Leader within yourself by working with Extraordinary Advisors today.

ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL FITS NO ONE.
A prescriptive, algorithmic coaching “system” won’t meet your needs. Extraordinary Advisors uses a flexible, bespoke process that focuses on developing the leader within you to achieve desired outcomes. We’re focused on delivering value for you and your business – not prolonging your dependency on a coach.
From Suck to Success.
Behind every successful business is a history of mistakes, failures, and embarrassing moments. In From Suck to Success, Todd uses his own experience in professional purgatory to propel your business upward by embracing Massive Accountability. Whether you’re a mid-level leader in a large organization or a c-suite executive, the strategies he shares are designed to empower the leader within and can help you avoid disaster and achieve higher levels of success.
IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT BUSINESS.
There is a huge difference between making a living and making a life. When we work together, we’ll explore EVERYTHING. Your life is important. When you grow yourself, you’ll grow your business. We’re not talking psycho analysis here, but the wisdom of everyday common-sense living. I debunk the myth of “work-life balance” and help you create a life by design — one of work-life integration.
For example, I have a client whose business was successful, barely, with a margin of 5%. He came to me because he needed to make more money so he could afford to have more family time. I asked him what it would look like to have more family time. For him it meant having more long weekends and one afternoon a week off to spend with his grandchildren. When I asked him what “more money” would look like, he said he wanted to double his revenue to double his income. So we looked at the numbers. It turned out that selling twice as much was not going to double his take-home. With a multi-pronged approach, we made his business more efficient— upgraded technology, reduced overhead, changed the pricing model, and narrowed his niche. Within 12 months his sales went up 70% and his margin increased by a factor of five. Plus he committed to retaining my executive coaching services for another year. Here’s what he has to say …
MAKE A LIFE, NOT JUST A LIVING.
When you work with Extraordinary Advisors, it’s more than executive business coaching – we explore everything. Our coaching focuses on getting you unstuck personally and professionally, and then drives you to create an actionable, measurable plan for achieving success.
For example, one of our clients had a (barely) successful business with a margin of 5%. He came to Extraordinary Advisors because he wanted to make more money so he could afford to have more family time, which he defined as more long weekends and one afternoon a week off to spend with his grandchildren.
When asked what “more money” would look like, he said he wanted to double his revenue to double his income. We looked at the numbers – selling twice as much would not double his take-home. We needed a better solution.
Our multi-pronged approach made his business more efficient. Upgraded technology, reduced overhead, an adjusted pricing model, and a narrower niche all contributed to a 70% increase in sales within 12 months – and a margin increase by a factor of five.
