Bob Palmer
B.Ed., B.E.S., Master NLP Practitioner
ON, CANADABob Palmer is recognized as one of today's best innovators in high performance as a trainer of leaders and champions. Known by Olympians, pros and executive leaders around the world as a High Performance Strategist, Bob uses the sport metaphor of "The Zone" as a first step in getting business leaders to think differently about leadership-centred success.
Bob has developed The Palmer Principle, a powerful system for business that allows leaders to set the tone via their energy, passion and empowerment. And when they do, magic happens. Via The Palmer Principle, Bob demonstrates that:
- Leadership is (needs to be) fun
- Outcomes (goals) must be processed properly to be achieved (not just written down)
- Change and transitions are simply an inescapable aspect of the leadership role that need to be enjoyed
- Skills have to be subconsciously driven with no doubt or self-talk
- The Zone (or flow or whatever you want to call it) needs to be a default mechanism, not a state of mind that the leader "gets into" whenever there is a crisis.
Bob delivers high-energy seminars and one-on-one training with tangible results. He has delighted and motivated audiences throughout North America and his presentations are always customized to fit each audience, industry and meeting requirement. Bob is known for his innovative and cutting-edge content and his ability to engage audiences to join him in the Zone, all illustrated by powerful examples of athletic and corporate achievement. He has an energizing, dynamic style and masterful presentation, and his system is a must-have for leaders to thrive and gain a tangible system for high performance in business and at home.
Bob has also pioneered the use of "the one-on-one session" and "the group seminar" via Skype, as a vehicle for giving leaders easy access to his powerful six-step formula for success and winning, from anywhere in the world. He has worked with clients on six continents and is in demand from executives who are successful and want to stay successful, or who may be struggling and where failure is not an option.
His system gives leaders the tools to rise above the day-to-day struggle, so that they can see the big picture, implement a powerful toolkit of strategies and have fun at the same time. His training sessions are backed-up by impressive Olympic, professional and corporate results. And testimonials (noted at the bottom of this page) speak to his integrity and passion.
Bob is also a best selling author of the highly acclaimed Mind vs Target and has recently published A Mind to Win, that executives have been known to buy for their sales staff, as the principles he outlines for sport success equally apply to business.
Bob's most sought-after presentations include:
Six Steps to the Leadership Zone
This presentation is a seminar in a keynote. While many people present the attributes of great leaders and tell you what you need to behave like and what you need to believe in, Bob crushes the myth of attributes and beliefs and teaches a prescribed set of skills that can help anyone to become a great leader. Bob has distilled all leadership into a strategic six-step system that is the result of his many years as an elite performer and instructor in the martial arts and a high performance trainer of gold-medal Olympians, pros and CEOs.
Leadership as an Olympic Sport
One of Bob's sport executives fired off an email to him after he had nailed a key presentation: "You'll be proud of me. I was on the podium and won gold." The analogy is appropriate, as Bob draws on his many successes helping Olympic coaches and athletes to stay consistent and in the Zone, so that they vastly improve the opportunity to podium. Bob creates parallels between business leadership success and the Olympic gold-medal successes of his athletes and lays out the prerequisite six-step system and strategies that make the executive leadership journey empowering, passionate and fun.
The Palmer Principle for Leadership Success
The Palmer Principle states: "When the leadership understands the notion of the Zone and acts in a Zone-like manner in all communication, in all day-to-day actions inside and outside of work, and in all leadership decisions, any corporation can create a culture of learning, creativity, passion, productivity and profitability." Bob takes you on a tour through the tools of The Palmer Principle that has already inspired CEOs, coaches and top-level athletes to succeed, often beyond their wildest imaginings. Bob encourages individuals to dream big as being "realistic" in your goals merely gets realistic results. The Palmer Principle helps you to achieve "unrealistic" ones.

"I'd finally found exactly what I was looking for - a simple, effective and easy to use system for enhancing performance and productivity, delivered with passion and expertise. I've now integrated the system in with my own strategies and work and get value from it every day. I highly recommend you check out Bob's approach to high performance because I know it works."
— PETER BAEKLUND, Founder and Head Coach, Peter Baeklund Resource Leadership, Denmark
"As a High Performance Director of a National Sports Organization, like any elite athlete or businessman, I need to be in the Zone; I need to be at my best. Bob's program helped me in all aspects of my work and my game and I use his system on a daily basis."
— BOB JONCAS, High Performance Director, Snowboard Canada, Canada
"Bob gives an unfair advantage!"
— RON HANSELL, CEO, BHH Benefits and Executive Athlete, Canada
"I have been involved with several of Bob Palmer's workshops. His warm disarming style puts everyone at ease while also keeping them on the edge of their seat with interest and anticipation."
— Don Kwasnycia, Real Estate Professional and Former Olympian, Canada
"Bob's system has helped me more than I imagined it could. What I didn't realize was how far-reaching the system can be. It has helped me renew my enthusiasm for my business, and as a result, the performance of my entire team has improved. The bottom line numbers don't lie, and I couldn't be happier about the results. Thank you Bob for getting me to believe again in all aspects of life - your system has been invaluable!"
— STEVE MANCINELLI, Business Owner and Executive Athlete, USA
