Testimonials

"Brett has been my leadership coach for two years. We approached him to strengthen our operational processes and develop me as a leader who could successfully implement them. With his background and history, he explained the many growth pains we felt, which helped us discover solutions while mitigating risks. Together we developed actionable goals and measurables that were flexible enough to scale but structured to keep their impact. He built my confidence by being confident in me and my ability to lead and manage a team. Brett actively listens to understand. He is very fair, and full of integrity. He is also just a lot of fun and easy to work with. 12/10 would recommend." - Sonya Palmer, rankings.io
