Our guest Jacob Talbot is Managing Partner of “SixthDivision” and a grief counselor, along with being a husband, father, author and hobbyist.
SixthDivision helps small businesses succeed, by helping them master marketing tools and other elements key to business success, AND a good life. Their technical expertise creates an opportunity to do some sophisticated leadership coaching, measured at least partially by improvements in their clients revenues.
We learned what some of this coaching could look like as Jacob described how his organization operates. How they hire and onboard people to ensure they won’t have to fire anyone. How they take care of each other whenever someone is dealing with health or other distracting issues. How they operate on trust and have a simple set of values that they help each other really live by. Not to mention a lot of fun “shiny” benefits they share with their employees (e.g. massage Fridays!).
Jacob’s leadership and coaching are informed by his other vocation of grief recovery counselor. And his story of how he got into this and how he works with his clients leads to another of his big ideas - “The Giver Method”, which is about developing your gifts into superpowers and offering them to others without asking for anything in return (because the Univers will always pay you back). Jacob’s book of that title will be coming out soon.
You can learn more about Jacob and his passions at SixthDivision.com, AZGriefREcovery.com, TheGiverMethod.com and you will also likely find him by searching “Jake the Comic”.
