The story behind the strategy.
Twenty-seven years of advising, coaching, and speaking didn't happen in one place, one industry, or one straight line. Neither has the life around it.
Roddie has spent twenty-seven years working with executive leaders across diverse scopes, cultures, and sectors — profit and non-profit, startups and global organisations. That work now lives across three forms: strategic advisory through Nelson Advisory, keynote speaking, and one-on-one coaching through his Apex Mind™ methodology.
The through-line in all of it is the same: showing leaders what they can't see, and what they won't execute on, before it costs them something they can't get back.
Roddie and his wife Michele recently left Texas and relocated to Cyprus — the first stop in a broader exploration of a European base, with Spain, Croatia, and Malta next on the list. Two of their three adult children are part of the journey too.
It's not a retirement move or an escape. It's the same instinct that built the advisory practice — go where the work and the life actually fit, instead of where they're expected to happen.
You can't coach people through change you're not willing to make yourself.
