Joe Palm and I were colleagues, working in a major healthcare company. Joe not only was an exemplar of Servant Leadership in his personal practice, but also guided and mentored co-workers in the principles and application of Servant Leadership. There is nobody I know who has a better grasp of this critical skill.
In addition to his expertise, Joe is friendly and engaging, with a deep reservoir of understanding about human relations.
Working with Joe Palm is an incredible experience. The amount of knowledge and experience he brings to the table is vast and deep. He worked with me and my team to adopt a new project management framework and the results were amazing. He worked with us quickly and efficiently to get us up and running within 2 weeks. The team not only worked more cohesively, but they also collaborated more, and their morale was boosted. Joe has a way of imparting. With Joe, I learned the value and the impact Servant Leadership has and he helped me take my leadership skills to the next level.
Joe is extremely knowledgeable, diligent, and engaging as an Agile coach. Joe brings a wealth of experience & knowledge in Business agility and Servant Leadership. He is very flexible in his approach to training; he can adjust and prioritize as per the requirements of the situation. He is an authority on the subject of Servant Leadership. Joe demonstrates academic depth of understanding on Servant Leadership and his coaching and training style in the subject are based on proven strategy and theory.
Joe is also great at building relationships based on trust and respect by empowering everyone. I highly recommend Joe as a Servant Leadership coach and trainer.
To say that Joe is passionate would be a massive understatement. For him, going “above and beyond” is just the average. I’ve been fortunate to work with someone like this, I hold myself to a higher standard because of it.
In my 25-year career, Joe Palm is one of the TOP FIVE people I have worked with. And I have worked with hundreds of coaches, so this is not to be taken lightly.
I wholeheartedly recommend Joe Palm to any business leader or executive seeking to enrich their leadership style with the principles of Servant Leadership. Joe's ability to make these concepts both relatable and actionable is a rare gift, and I am confident that his workshops and programs will provide invaluable insights to all who engage with them.
I am grateful to have known Joe on a professional and personal level for almost 10 years. Across a variety of roles and responsibilities in that time, Joe consistently demonstrates empathy, an understanding that serving others is the root of a life of joy that many never find and displays passion and commitment for the work at hand. He brings energy to his surroundings, leads by example in dedication and tenacity, and is an excellent mentor for those seeking to elevate their leadership abilities and influence.
If you are looking for a deep dive into team leadership principles and success, business, and professional development, all with a great combination of experience, humor, and fun: Joe can answer that need!
I have worked with many different agile coaches and Servant Leaders over the last 15 years. I can truly say that Joe is THE BEST BY FAR of ANYONE that I have worked with. Joe and I worked together closely for the same Fortune 6 company (now Fortune 4) for several years, and I was thrilled to have him on my team because not only did my team learn a LOT from him, but I did as well. He kept us on the right path so that the team was very successful.
Even after I left that company to work for other companies (currently GM), I still reach out to Joe for advice as he provides greater practical servant Leadership advice than anyone else that I know. I'm ever so grateful for ALL his time and advice that he has provided me with over the years. You will NOT find someone who will grasp what you are going through as quickly as Joe NOR will you find anyone to give you such great advice that you can realistically implement quickly and watch how things change!
I met Joe Palm a few years ago when he was creating and leading a project at UnitedHealth Group on Servant Leadership. He was not only someone who demonstrated the skillset to lead a group of people. He is someone who truly embodies the qualities of Servant Leadership that he tries to teach to others.
“Joe is the kind of leader and mentor everyone desires. He is there in the trenches fighting alongside you, yet he also can compassionately lead in the Boardroom as well. I am excited for this new chapter in his life and eager to read his new book. Having already seen what he is capable of, I know it will be a bestseller.
Throughout the time that I worked with Joe Palm, he lived the tenets of a Servant Leader to his peers and team members, served as an advocate of Servant Leadership to influencers and leaders within the organizations he has supported, and finally, has been a role model to me through his personal commitment to live the life of a Servant Leader. The fabric of Joe’s leadership style, and I would go so far as to say Joe’s lifestyle, is woven with the threads that define Servant Leadership – empathy, active listening, self-awareness, empowering and recognizing others, seeking the common good – and he wears it well. I highly recommend Joe, his teachings, and his writings, to leaders who are seeking to become a better leader and, in the end, a better person.
Joe's impact extends far beyond the classroom or workplace. His teachings on Servant Leadership have had a transformative effect on my life as a whole. I wholeheartedly recommend Joe Palm as a mentor and leader of the highest caliber. His dedication to Servant Leadership, his exceptional interpersonal skills, and his unwavering commitment to the growth of those around him make him an invaluable asset to any individual or organization. It is without reservation that I offer my highest praise for Joe, and I am confident that he will continue to inspire and uplift all those fortunate enough to work with him.
I had the incredible opportunity to work closely alongside Joe, and I am genuinely honored to share my heartfelt endorsement of his exceptional qualities. As a true product expert, Joe's insights consistently proved to be the cornerstone of our project successes.
“What truly sets Joe apart is his Servant Leadership approach; he not only guided our team with grace but also empowered every member to shine brightly. Joe's unwavering honesty and genuine compassion make him an extraordinary coach, always ready to offer an understanding ear and invaluable guidance.
“Moreover, Joe's pivotal role as a business transformation leader brought about remarkable positive changes that significantly elevated our organization's trajectory. It is without reservation that I wholeheartedly recommend Joe, as his multi-faceted expertise and remarkable character are deserving of the highest praise.
