The Bell Curve of Life: Offering Confidence One Session at a Time

Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio

Farrell Middleton, president of The Bell Curve of Life, joins host Carol Morgan for this week’s Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. In this podcast segment, Middleton discusses coaching and mentoring clients

After a long, successful career in the building industry, Middleton started The Bell Curve of Life in 2022 to ignite his passion to teach and embrace a second career. He offers mentorship services that enhance clients’ confidence personally and professionally.

Middleton said, “I wanted to spend my time differently, helping people live a better life, be better performers and run better businesses.”

When his two children moved out and started their lives, Middleton experienced the “empty nester” feeling and decided to shift his career towards helping others as he did with his own family. As one chapter closed, he looked for a new one to begin.

The Bell Curve of Life offers both individual and group sessions, depending on the client’s needs. One-on-one sessions offer details and solutions that are more personal. In a group setting, Middleton can get a bigger picture and participants can share ideas on a bigger scale. He also notes that group sessions often leads to people learning from each other’s experiences.

Middleton said, “As I get conversation going in the group settings, people are learning more from each other than from me, which is what my goal was.”

Employee retention and engagement are common challenges facing the business world. It is a lot of effort that is sometimes lost suddenly. The Bell Curve of Life helps business leaders discover ways to foster relationships with employees and assist them in growing with the company. Some employees are comfortable at a certain level of responsibility and do not want to be pushed up, a common sentiment that Middleton discusses with his clients.

Internal customer service can make or break a business, which is why The Bell Curve of Life addresses it from the first consultation. What does this mean? Every person in the business has a role and the coordination between employees is what keeps the flow of service going. If one employee, or one sector of the business, is lacking proper momentum, it can have a big impact. Middleton works with clients to find the slowdown and start the conversations to get everything running smoothly again. Middleton also notes that learning from mistakes and taking responsibility are crucial for change to happen.

“If the bar is too high, nobody can achieve that on a routine basis,” Middleton said. “My program and guidance are about how do people perform on a routine basis.”

The Bell Curve of Life also offers Lunch-and-Learn events and other single events where Middleton speaks to larger groups on a one-time basis. He evaluates a “pinpoint” or issue that is facing the group, including communication, relationship building, customer service and other issues.

To measure the success of sessions, Middleton uses evaluation forms that allow participants to self-evaluate and find ways to grow individually.

Middleton said, “Work on the stuff that needs to be worked on and the other stuff that is going well enough, it is going well enough. Don’t spend anymore quality time on it.”
