I'm so excited for you to meet Beth Handel, who is the co-founder and vice chair of Handel Group, a 17-plus-year executive life coach, who has taught thousands of clients to human better.
Starting point is 00:01:22 We need more that. Beth is the one who CEO's venture capitalist and gurus go to from live nations of Michael Rapinoe take Gary B to NFL players Justin Pugh and Nolan Carroll to singer Michelle Williams to name drop a few. She founded Handel Group with her sister Lauren 17 years ago and has developed it into a multi platformplatform business with corporate life coaching, education, sports, and product divisions. The handle method is a unique cutting edge straightforward, brutally honest methodology
Starting point is 00:01:52 that has been taught and developed at over 50 universities and institutes of learning worldwide. From MIT to Stanford, best coaching style, mad skills, and toolkit, plus humor and honesty, I'm so excited to have you here with me. Oh, thank you. I'm excited to be here with you. In these crazy days. So I'm so interested to know, you know, how has your business been going on?
Starting point is 00:02:13 I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you.
Starting point is 00:02:21 I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. I'm excited to be here with you. In these crazy days, so I'm so interested to know, you know, how has your business been impacted by the pandemic? Let's see, we were positioned in such a way because we had our digital online interview already with thousands of people in it. The moment that there was the quarantine and stay at home,
Starting point is 00:02:45 we were ready to take care of the people. And we gave out, like just myself personally, I coached through group calls, lots of live nation, because they were in lockdown, close to a thousand people. So a thousand people by me, for free, community calls, coaching, and then we had a bunch of our coasters do a lot of free coaching and impacting people. So we just took care of the people. And we were fine, because everyone was working from home. We'd been working from home for 18 years.
Starting point is 00:03:19 And so we know how to do that effectively. And so we were just really available to help the planet. And we did fine. You don't have to fire anywhere, you don't have to let anyone go. We did just fine. What are some of the strategies that you work with people and businesses who are now operating remotely? I have been seeing this zoom fatigue. A lot of my work is doing virtual keynotes now. And I get a lot of feedback from my clients that they're having
Starting point is 00:03:45 a tough time with communication and keeping people engaged. How do you coach people when you're with companies with those same challenges? You know, it points to it's a great question because everyone was dealing with it other than, you know, people who work from home already, right? So I coach many public companies and I won't let people go into the Zoom fatigue or that. Sorry, I can eye curse bullshit. Right. There's really like, you got to get connected. In fact, one of my clients, who's a big CEO of a public company who, he knows, I call him Miss, I'm going to curse. He's a cold fuck, right? He's an absolute cold fuck. Careless about his relationships with people. But the pandemic was like,
Starting point is 00:04:25 when I first started talking to him, I'm like, this is your shot to not be a cold fuck because if you remain a cold fuck during the pandemic, you're gonna lose a lot of people. This is your time to step up, get related to people, care about people, you know, like get them to get who you really are. And he actually had the best time
Starting point is 00:04:43 because he dropped videos. He was more personal ball. He really up the ante on being related like every week. He would call like five different people that didn't have relationships with. So it actually forced him to up the ante, building relationships with people. Because the only way you were going to survive this is your relationships with people and taking care of them and knowing each one and what the hell they were going through from the ones with the kids running around to now I hate my husband I hate my wife like he had to take care of people so they would still produce and they still did one of his divisions did the biggest year of their life a billion dollars in the middle of the pandemic. So it was really important for people to know that just because it's Zoom and not high in person, which we all miss desperately, that there really is a way to connect with people on Zoom.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Bullshit, I led workshops through the whole pandemic. On Zoom, we just made them so that it wasn't an eight-hour day on Zoom. All right, we're gonna do no more than three to four. We're going to give you breaks, completely worked, workshops, people were appreciative, not true. Yeah, you know, I agree with you. I was hired by YPO this during the pandemic
Starting point is 00:05:57 to do a three hour zoom training. And I was really nervous at first to your point, Ray. Like an eight hour thing you're thinking, is that how will that translate through a computer? And like you said, as long as you're asking questions, as long as you're engaging with people and you bring your energy, those hour, three hour, four hour workshops
Starting point is 00:06:17 go by really quickly and you can get some great results. For sure. And then not only that one of the things I do I'm obnoxious, but that's me, is if I'm leading a workshop every video everybody's video has to be on I need to see you you have to vote you if I can't see you like like really right and so I didn't care what your hair looked like if you in your
Starting point is 00:06:36 gym clothes in the shower if you had a kid or a cat on you you were eating your lunch you're in a workshop with me turn your video on unless you're driving, right? Like that I understood. So I forced the issue and then forced inside of my coaching of all our clients, right, in the corporate world, like having them do that, like one president I had in my game of my days, he would do a Friday yoga class with his employees, right? He did cocktail hours with. We had people doing dinners and sitting around doing dinners and drinking, like there's ways to create it.
Starting point is 00:07:13 We have a client called Daybreaker, who I adorned love, that did Zoom now dance parties for corporations and their community and stayed alive, right? So you had to get creative. You had to deeply care about your people and connecting. So all the people who didn't have relationships with people and did, they either made them or they didn't turn out very well. So it was a time which is if you take a look, the pandemic for me is like we got to turn it into a reason this thing happened, right?
Starting point is 00:07:45 Like, okay, so we better up the ante on humanity and how we take care of each other and deal with each other. So what a perfect thing to do to actually up the ante on your caring about people. National security experts are warning. Our aging power grid is more vulnerable than ever. January marked a third time at power station, North Carolina was damaged by gunfire.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Authorities are saying the attack raises a new level of threat. Authorities are now checking our grid for vulnerabilities. They've identified nine key substations. If these substations are attacked, power could be knocked out from coast to coast for up to 18 months. Imagine, black outlasting, not days, but weeks are months.

Starting point is 00:10:33 I love the way that you look at it and I couldn't agree with you more. Best for people that don't, you know, and I was one of these people, I had never hired an executive coach. I didn't even know that coaching was a thing, right? I was in the media business, a very traditional business, and people didn't really hire coaches, or if they didn't speak about it publicly. So can you share with us what is an executive coach?
Starting point is 00:10:56 Why do people hire an executive coach? So I have different divisions. So I'm an executive life coach. Then I also have a division that's just life coaches, right? So a life coach, we're not therapists, we are not trained in that. We really are trained in and we have a two-year program before you ever end up being a coach
Starting point is 00:11:14 if you even make it, right? Because we are ruthless about walking our talk. That does not mean you're perfect. It means you own your dark side. And so executive life coaching. So if I were working with you, I'm going to work on, in fact, I just started with a CEO, 28-year-old CEO that has raised money three times, successful,
Starting point is 00:11:35 100-person plus company growing like credibly. And I'm going to go both as leadership as a CEO and has his love life and sex life with his wife. So executive life coaching is both. So I ask permission when I coach an executive, like, can I have your whole life? 99.9% of all of them say yes. Some of them say, well, let me see what you do for my leadership, but maybe I'll let
Starting point is 00:12:01 you in. And usually the ones who don't want the personal is because they have things they don't want to tell me. So executive life coaching is both for you as developing you as an entrepreneur, developing you as an executive, developing you to become an executive. You know, I sit with C-suite execs, but we have all the right down, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:19 VPs, directors, the children in the company, right? Millennials, all that. We train and develop leadership leaders. And at the same time, we're dealing with your exercise, you're drinking, you're drugging, you're, we're going to go into your whole life, you're exercise, your body, your home, your family. We go all.
Starting point is 00:12:38 So that's an executive life coach. And we are paid to support you in fulfilling your dream and get you out of your way and deal with your cavities and pollution. We do not give a shit about and talk about it forever. I have someone a friend of my family who's been talking at therapist for 30 years and he's still doing the same crap. Right? So no, we're not. We're not talking about it. Yes, we will, but then we are action based. We are shifted. We are changed the behavior. We are gonna get you your dream
Starting point is 00:13:09 and deal with your cavities and pollution quickly. It sounds like high level of accountability is what it's about. Yes, I love that. I have that. Yes, you just named it exactly. We are gonna hold you to account. So you can have the life you want.
Starting point is 00:13:25 You do have a lot of very successful people. Do you find that that's the problem? That's the whole back that they're not holding themselves accountable or they're not pushing themselves far enough? That's different for everybody, right? There's you're looking to see the first place that we go to work with you. Heather is number one. We break your whole life into 12 areas, which is both personal and business. And some just, you know, it's all over. So you've got 12 areas that make up your life. The first thing that we deal with that most people don't deal with is dreaming. And we teach you how to dream again, because you haven't really dreamed other than New Year's resolutions or goals. That's not, you know, people are going into 2022 and starting their business
Starting point is 00:14:05 strategy meetings for next year. And, you know, they're going to be looking at numbers. I want a 25 percent increase in this. I want this. Okay, but what's the dream? What do you all want? So we teach dreaming. And so we get your dreams. Then we look to see what's in the way. And the first place we go is what Dr. David Hawkins uncovered, which is that 80% of a human being's inner dialogue, your thoughts, 80% are negative. And 95% of your 80% that's negative is the same shit you thought yesterday.
Starting point is 00:14:40 You know, I'm 62 years old. And when I look in the mirror, I have a hot date this weekend. I look in the mirror and like, oh, what's a new line on my face? That's the same shit I thought yesterday. It's not anything new. But now watch, if 80% of my inner dialogue is negative, your inner dialogue is what gives you your actions and gives you your results.
Starting point is 00:15:00 So how to impact your results in your life is we got to deal with who's talking to you. And so Handel method named your 80% and the three voices that we have named that we make you deal with right in your first and second session with us. And in our interview, our digital online coaching program is you've got a chicken voice. That's the avoider. That's the one my NFL player Justin Pugh wrote me a text and he said Beth I thought of you today. I had to speak at the state senate of Arizona and he sends me the clip and he did great. He goes my chicken didn't want me to do it but I told him to
Starting point is 00:15:36 fuck off. So that would be your chicken voice. Then we have you meet your brat. That's the defiant voice. That's the one who's like, oh, you're so stressed. You need to hold box of Oreo cookies. You need to have some ice cream. Oh, you need a third scotch. Oh, don't exercise. Don't meditate. You don't need it.
Starting point is 00:15:57 That would be the brat, the defiant one who runs certain areas of your life. Then there's the weather reporter. That's the subtlest of the three, but just as deadly. I'm sitting in Westchester and it's sunny in 82 degrees. There's nothing I can do about it other than dress accordingly. When I'm weather reporting in my life, I swear I'm letting you know the facts of sunny in 82 and I go, I have no time to work out. And you think I have no time as Israel is its 82 you think I have no time as is real as it's 82 degrees. If you're struggling with swelling in your legs, ankles are feet, you're going to want to listen up.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Forget your compression socks and water pills. New research shows that swelling and inflammation can be resolved by upping your intake of omega-3 fatty acids from krill oil.

Starting point is 00:19:01 So you've got the avoider, the chicken, the defiant one, the brat, and the excuse maker, the weather've got the avoider, the chicken, the defiant one, the brat, and the excuse maker, the weather reporter. And we make you actually meet them because those voices are not God talking to you. They're not even you talking to you. And you don't know that. You listen to it when it talks crap about you, like, oh, you're not going to be able to do that that and you go, I like, it's real. And so
Starting point is 00:19:28 you're chicken brought w their your border direct fired. You should sho down you and they get you in tr where we start to get you coaching. Wow, that's a and yes, I can defin identify with the chicken voice. I mean, to me, I would think that some people have one voice that's louder or more predominant
Starting point is 00:19:53 than the other ones. Yes, exactly. Like my CEO that I just started coaching the 28 year old, he not a chicken in his business. That kid is flying, but where he's a chicken is with his wife. They've been married a year and a month, they love each other, but he's a complete chicken there. And he could see that. Then he could see he's more braddy at work. So everyone's different. So that's why, as you go through, whether it's our coaching or our online digital program of interview, you're going to start to meet what is going to get in the way of your dreams so we can teach you how to cut it out. And we're not going to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:20:30 We are not, I already put them in, Proud. We are not talking about, oh, by the way, I don't know that again. We're not those people. We are action based. Let's get you what you want. Let's go. Do you find that people can still have success?
Starting point is 00:20:42 Because to me, it's interesting that you bring in just as much importance to business as you do the personal life, which I think is unique. find that people can still have success because to me, it's interesting that you bring just as much importance to business as you do the personal life, which I think is unique. For me, coming from my business background, I didn't often hear people talk about your personal life. It didn't seem to be relevant, right? If you were just looking at growing companies and, you know, acquiring companies, whatever, do you find that people can reach massive success in business if they aren't paying
Starting point is 00:21:06 attention to their personal life or do the two have to be connected somehow? No, there's so many people who are, you know, I happen to speak to C-suite executives, right? I've got all my coaches speak to, you know, various levels, right? But C-suite executives are incredibly successful. That's, you're already a C-suite executive, right? But that doesn't mean you're not condescending. That doesn't mean you're not, you know, mean to people.
Starting point is 00:21:30 We all have what sucks about us. We have what's great about us. Oh my God, yes, not even a question, but Handel Method is not gonna get paid to discuss how great you are. We have high, yes. We're here, you, we're here. You're paying us to go deal with whatever cavities
Starting point is 00:21:48 and pollution you get in trouble with. That's make a mess, right? Whether it's in your personal life or business. And we all have bad traits, right? Well, welcome to mind. Like, you know, there's what's great about me and then, oh my God, I can be such a bitch and that's not okay.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I don't want to be a bitch to my daughter or anyone who works for me or any can be such a bitch and that's not okay. I don't want to be a bitch to my daughter or anyone who works for me or any man that I'm with, that is not okay. But welcome to my lineage where yes, I've got those parents. And so we then teach how do you change behavior that you know impacts people not in a way you want. And we do that. We teach a job being a jerk. Beth it's you have to be able line of work quickly is question is more, we've that success. Well, we t for the last 15, maybe 16 years,
Starting point is 00:22:46 where with some of the biggest companies, the sports, the Olympic Committee hired me. So, really, do I need to discuss that I know how to get my job done? So, there. Now, individually, you're now hired me. I had my first session with the CEO this morning at 10 AM. He already hired me, so he was already like kind- in. And then you do your first homework assignment, which is interview, which like as he said, he wrote me a note like Beth,
Starting point is 00:23:11 this is bad ass, this is rocking. So you meet us through that. And you already know. And then we get on the session. And you and I have to have a relationship, you have to feel safe with me. You have to feel not judged. You know, you're gonna tell me your dark secrets that you were taken to the grave, and I'm not gonna go, oh my God, that's disgusting. I'll give you one of mine, right? So how I make it safe is would you like
Starting point is 00:23:35 to hear what an asshole I am? I am not on any pedestal at all, right? And you know that immediately, because I'll tell you anything, you know, there's what's great about me, but should I discuss with Sucks, I'm divorced twice, then the third man cheated on me, right, like I pitputs his,
Starting point is 00:23:52 I'm an asshole in the arena of love, right? And I'm like, I have a date with this guy this weekend, I'm so excited because he's just big as an asshole is on. And I'm like, oh my goodness, this is so exciting, we're both jerks in this, we can do being good team members. Like, but really, right? Like, so we make it.
Starting point is 00:24:09 All my coaches are trying to make it safe. We're not on any pedestal. I think we're better than anybody. Well, you just made that crystal clear. Ha, ha, ha. Right. Have you ever been intimidated by one of your clients? Seeing as how you have some of the biggest
Starting point is 00:24:24 man clients in the world. If I have been to him and here, I'll give you a great story. I coach, I'm not going to give his name. Everyone would know him in the sports world. NFL Hall of Famer for like two years, plus his wife, plus bunches of his people adore him. And he sends me, he's going to now send me to go meet the commissioner of hockey and H.O.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Rock on. I know who I am. I don't. I hate sports. So that's part of why they love hiring me because I hate fucking football. I don't like any sports, right? I'm not fascinated by all your football players. All right.
Starting point is 00:24:57 So I'm walking in at the taxi. It's New York City taxi drops me off. I'm walking towards the revolving door. And here begins my inner dialogue that thank God I caught on the way as I'm walking. I'm like, who the fuck am I? You're an idiot. You're not a sports psychologist. You don't even know anything about hockey. Oh my God, I'm going to disappoint my NFL player. Oh my God, what am I doing here? How did I even get here? Why am I doing? Now this is all within one minute. I have now destroyed myself to that we should probably turn around and get out. Right?
Starting point is 00:25:30 And as I'm in the revolving door, as I continue to hear her, kill me. I then finally hear her as who she is. And I in the revolving door go, shut the fuck up. Like get off of me. You're not allowed in here with me. Walked in, had the best meeting with him. We adored each other, and that was that. So the only thing that intimidates me
Starting point is 00:25:51 is when my voice decides I'm an idiot, I'm stupid, I'm not good enough, I'm not this. It's her who discusses it that I have to know to shut her down. And that's what we teach is that the voice that starts, whether it's on you or your husband or your boss or a worker that you're quietly grumbling about. If you don't hear that is not the truth,
Starting point is 00:26:14 it will run whatever meeting you're in. And so I'm trained enough to be able to catch it, but oh, she discusses, I can't shut her off. She will discuss, I have to catch it. And that's what we teach people. So Yes, but then I know who I am and I can shut her down and shutting her. What are some of the strategies you teach to to shut that voice down? The most important part is you have to hear her or him. If you hear him or her for what they really are, then it's easy. It's the problem is is that you really do think when she says, oh my god, then it's easy. It's the problem is, is that you really do think
Starting point is 00:26:46 when she says, oh my God, you look awful today, you suck, how are you gonna get this? You're like, yeah. And you like, get on, like if you were getting on a train for an hour ride, it's like you get on a train with your inner dialogue to discuss how crappy you are, and you get sucked in. So the first thing is to be able to hear it and smell it like it
Starting point is 00:27:08 ain't real. And then once you do, the moment you can go, oh, that's my chicken. It's over because it just stopped at the moment you see it. And then if it starts again, I go violent on her because she can get loud, I go shut the fuck up. So I teach one of my great stories is the Olympic Committee hired me to make sure at the Winter Olympics that this skater got into the Olympics
Starting point is 00:27:32 before years before she had it. They gave six sessions to make sure she got into the Olympics. All right, and I did. She got into the Olympics, she won a medal. But what I had to teach her was to shut her down. And you'll see her. If you go look at her long program and the nationals and they pan in her face before she starts, you watch her say, shut the fuck up. And when they asked her, I saw it. I laughed hysterically and I texted her after.
Starting point is 00:28:01 And then she laughed. She said, the media asked me what I said. I told them it was a Japanese prayer. But I'd love to hear that top performance athletes like Olympians still have negative self-pop, just like everybody else. Everyone does. The top NFL players in the world, that's what they hire me for, right? Or I was just coaching, I'm not gonna, I can't say her name. So I was just coaching a leading actor, okay? Everyone knows her. And she was giving me her inner dialogue.
Starting point is 00:28:30 It was amazing. And I'm like, do your best friends know that you go here? Does anyone know that you travel here? She goes, oh no, I'm not telling people. I'm like, do you know the difference it would make on the planet to the actors of this world if they know you still have these conversations? Do you know the impact you can make?
Starting point is 00:28:49 It's like what I told Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child who I adorned love and her book of checking in was I knew that she was dealing with her well-being. I knew and all I would do is Michelle, you gotta tell people, you can't keep it a secret. It's gonna make such a profound difference on the planet if you actually tell people in Elpe Park. Right. And obviously she did now, right?
Starting point is 00:29:10 So you can't take that shit to the grave. I love how you just framed it in regards to Michelle that people oftentimes when they get in their own head, oh, nobody's going to care about my child's. No one's going to, this doesn't relate to anyone, but when you make it about that one person that you could help, that's oftentimes a little push people need.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Right, and then she's now, so like the whole world, she's out to take care of people's mental well-being, get them to deal. But all she had to do, like she's been hiding that stuff. People hide that except to know that when people know that their boss is not on a pedestal and that he or she is as human as they are and deals with things and apologizes and own things, they will stay with you for a very
Starting point is 00:29:52 long time. That's what our workshop is building an honest culture. Like if you actually build an honest culture productivity skyrockets and people then are loyal and turn over as way less because they have the freedom to be able to tell you that that didn't work for them and that upset them that you hurt my feelings when you did that in the meeting. Wow. So that is, I personally have been in cultures in corporate America that were completely toxic, the antithesis of what you just described.
Starting point is 00:30:20 You had to pretend to be perfect, pretend to always have the answer. Nobody wanted to hear the honest feedback and to watch the dysfunction and the loss of revenue, the loss of talent, the loss of people as a result, it's crippling. That's unbelievable. Exactly. So, it does take, be very clear. It does take incredible courage to be willing to do the work that we do because it's going to be deep. We're're gonna have you deal,
Starting point is 00:30:47 hold you to account, but on the other side of it is it's the most incredible life on the other side because you're gonna be authoring all of it and dealing with all of it. And then when you get a CEO who's willing to let us in to the company of 5,000 people like that, like we have a joint venture with Michael Rapinoe and Live Nation.
Starting point is 00:31:04 And we really are in the whole company as he wants because we're lifting the bar of integrity and learning to human better. It just makes such a huge difference, but the courage it takes for CEO to let us in to up the ante and work with people on their humanity. It's a big deal. But bad near offering a free coaching with you. Can you share with our listeners what the opportunity is? Yes, okay, everyone. On August, and I never do this, never.
