Give Up Multitasking & Get Fully Present—with Todd Palmer- EP003 Dec 31, 2019

Show notes

Think you're a Rockstar at multitasking? As Todd Palmer explains, it's scientifically impossible to do two things at once. When you're simultaneously responding to a work email and talking to your partner, your brain is moving back and forth and back and forth and back and forth… And you're not fully present in either pursuit.

Todd is the Founder and Chief Rulebreaker at Extraordinary Advisors, a coaching firm that helps CEOs, entrepreneurs and executive leadership teams turnaround or scale their businesses. Prior to Extraordinary Advisors, he spent 25 years at the helm of Diversified Industrial Staffing, a recruiting company that specializes in representing and placing skilled trade professionals and high-end machinists. Todd is committed improving lives and approaching each day with authenticity, transparency and vulnerability.

On this episode of Destined to Be, Todd joins us to explain how a coach helped him save his recruiting business, taking it from $600K in the red to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies (six times!). He introduces us to the idea of trading temporary happiness for a sustainable sense of satisfaction and shares how he achieved work-life integration as a single dad and entrepreneur. Listen in for Todd's insight around being fully present and listening to absorb—and learn to manage your time according to what's really important to you!
