“Brian’s approach to coaching combines head and heart experience and innovation. He gets the spirit behind coaching.”
Bishop Rob Wright
Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta
“Brian has been a mentor for years, but during the pandemic, I’ve seen his coaching more clearly. He doesn’t teach adaptive leadership theory, he embodies it, and thus, demonstrates and invites others into harnessing leadership capacity across entire systems.”
Michael Sullivan
President and CEO, Kanuga
“Brian has coached me through an incredibly complicated transition of election as Bishop during a time of pandemic, violent social unrest, and immense uncertainty. His encouraging voice has allowed me to form a strategy informed by his insights and wisdom, yet created to match my strengths and talents. Brian is able to observe and not meddle, encourage and not control, guide and not restrict.”
Bishop Glenda Curry
Episcopal Diocese of Alabama
Brian is all about culture.  Whether you are looking to start the year off on the right foot or end it better than it started, Brian can get your team to that point.  Our faculty and student body were engaged and left his workshop with a purpose.  A shepherd amongst sheep…..
Chris Ohm
Assistant Director, Breck Upper School
“Working with Brian has been a game-changer for me! Brian has helped me effectively tackle thorny organizational questions and his guidance has been crucial to honing my strategic vision for, and day-to-day approach to, my work. Through his prompting questions, Brian has frequently (but gently) called me to a broader view of my work and management and helped me think through my decisions at key crossroads. I appreciate Brian’s thoughtful approach to coaching, which has made me a stronger researcher and leader.”
