Brian’s Executive Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Director
60+ people coached for Executive
Open to working with clients outside the U.S.
I became a coach because I love helping people find more happiness and fulfillment in their lives and careers, which often means supporting my clients with the same types of issues I personally have wrestled with, whether that is silencing my inner critic, taming procrastination, or differentiating between what I really want versus what I think I “should” want. My coaching superpower is seeing the potential in my clients that they cannot always see for themselves.
