WHAT THEY SAY
“Todd Palmer of Extraordinary Advisors presented at an American Gear Manufacturing Association regional conference in 2018. After hearing his speech, AGMA was excited to hire him to speak at an additional conference in 2019 and at our 2020 Annual Meeting, to be held at Walt Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. Todd’s straight forward, no beating around the bush style is appreciated by our members and we value his ability to speak to audiences from all different levels and backgrounds. He delivers takeaways that the audience can put into action immediately. If your audience would value authentic, real-world tested strategies for business best-practices, supported by stories from Todd’s 20+ years of experience as an entrepreneur and CEO, I would highly recommend adding him to your roster of speakers!”
“Todd delivered inspiring content that was perfectly tailored to staffing firm owners and the industry at our Texas Owners’ Retreat. Our owners needed tools to scale their business, and Todd hit a home run for us. He addressed changing our mindset, our long term and short term scaling strategies, and plans for execution in the marketplace. Todd’s real-life business experience earned our respect as he took the time to get to know us, our audience, and our world.”
“Mr. Palmer was able to navigate our complicated company and help us uncover what we really wanted out of our 23 year old business and grow it in that direction. He helped us institute standard business practices without losing our unique business personality. Through his guidance we were able not only to value the mistakes we have made, but also to find humor in the blocks we had placed in our own way. Since then, we have continued to grow another 20% in sales and 100% in our profits. Todd Palmer is an asset. The tools he shares are effective and his practical approach to business is actionable and sustainable.“
“In listening to Todd, we discovered that leaders aren’t born, they’re created. They require ongoing support to reach high levels of performance. Todd demonstrated the value of these things. We learned that great leadership does not occur by accident – it comes through planning, purpose and expert guidance along the way. We saw how successful leaders support other leaders. We worked through our organizational issues, while Todd provided tactical things that we could do to foster continuous growth within our executive team. He was a very capable guide in starting us along the leadership path.“
“I found the meeting very beneficial. Todd had us to think about various aspects of the business and to see how each of us may look at things differently. It clearly showed deficiencies I knew existed but had not been able to solve. Our frank discussion made me rethink things I had tried — but failed— to make any improvements on and many good ideas on how to go about tackling some of those issues.“
“I thought the time with Todd was valuable, getting leadership together to have directed discussions about the business. For me there weren’t a lot of surprises: we know there aren’t Rocks for the company or good lines of formal communication. It takes a planned meeting (what my wife would call “being intentional”) to break that rhythm of “this is how it’s done” and begin to make positive changes.“
“Thank you so much for your keynote at the Sesi breakfast today. The Director for the Center of Entrepreneurship said your talk was one of the best they’ve ever had, he was really excited!“
“I have had the opportunity to work with Todd Palmer over the past 5 years. As an owner of 4 different companies it can be difficult to step back and see the big picture sometime. Todd listens to our companies challenges at hand, contemplates what he would do or best practices he has seen from his years of experience and offers tangible ideas on how to grow our businesses. What I really admire most about Todd is his ability to listen and drill down to the issue at hand. He is a great problem solver/solution finder. I look forward to many more years of working with him to grow my business and learn from him.“
“I would tell anyone who is looking for a coach to take a moment and talk with Todd from Extraordinary Advisors. The experience is unlike your typical business coaching. Learning to grow from the inside-out has been nothing short of transformational”
