Executive Coach / Facilitator

Brian coaches experienced leaders to thrive at the executive level, often in the biggest position of their life. With responsibilities expanding, Brian helps leaders see which aspects of their approach to embrace, which to abandon and where to prioritize development efforts.
As leaders gain a deeper appreciation for the consequences of their actions, they embrace new behaviors that improve results, reduce stress, increase personal confidence and provide a better quality of life at work and at home.
Coaching Philosophy
Brian’s coaching values are clarity, simplicity and progress. In a world overrun with infinite complexity and constant change, he focuses on practical solutions that get results.
Patient, open and honest, Brian’s style of coaching leaves nothing unsaid. He knows the pitfalls of “success at all costs.” He believes strongly that all leaders should strive for strong results, continued personal growth and high quality of life for both themselves and those they care about most.
Results Achieved
“Brian challenges me in ways that others have not. I continue to grow and improve as a result. Working with him, I learned a lot about myself and my leadership style. With his help, I’m fostering new and better relationships that are giving me more opportunities to move my overall organization forward in significant ways.
Brian’s coaching style is effortless, allowing for in-depth conversations and learning. His open-mindedness, lack of judgment, and straight-shooter approach delivered politely and respectfully, create a powerful coaching experience.” – VP, Global Payments Inc
