Overall my time with Brian left me with 1 major win - my ability to be deliberate about my leadership style and pick and choose how I show up depending on the situation.

Brian immediately made me feel at ease. He is a former startup founder. He understands the needs and the stressful times of an early-stage startup.

In the last eight months, we've gone through some pretty amazing times together, going from 6 people to now 27 and raised our Series A round. And with that, going from a CEO individual contributor where I was doing everything, knew everybody, and knew exactly what everybody was doing, to actually learning how to be a better leader and upgrade myself from being the CEO that Vinovest, my company, needed at five people to the CEO that my company needed at 10 people, at 20 people, and now looking to the future for 50 and even 100 people.

As a finance professional, I measure things in terms of ROI and I can say hiring Brian as my executive coach has been the best investment I have made in the last year. Brian is an excellent listener who offers the tools and ideas I need to help me do the deep work of becoming a better leader. I find myself using these lessons often in my role as CEO. Since working with Brian, our revenue is up 89% YoY and our team has doubled in size.

It's so valuable for every business leader to find an impartial, non-judgmental person who can reflect back to you the impact you're having on your business and team... and even more so if that person is Brian!

Working with Brian has helped me stay accountable to my commitments both to my company and to myself. He's not afraid to call me out when I'm acting against my values or the needs of my team/stakeholders, and he does so in a way that's compassionate and results-oriented.

If you're looking for a business coach, I highly recommend contacting Brian. He brings a lot of his own experience and perspective to the table and will challenge you to grow right away.

This testimonial will sound a little corny, but I mean every word. When I first reached out to Brian, I was 18 years into my professional career, having led a venture fund and several companies, and yet, secretly afraid, anxious, and frustrated about my leadership. Brian listened and listened again, always pushing me to grow in a way nobody had achieved before. Today, my relationships with coworkers and clients are stronger and more enjoyable than ever, leading to incredible business results.

The first session was groundbreaking. Brian is an excellent listener, and I'm always impressed with how he's able to guide the conversation. He asks all the right questions and helped me identify patterns in my thinking that were symptoms of deeper-rooted issues that I wasn't even aware of.

Over these months, I found myself becoming a significantly more capable leader in the workplace, which allowed me to perform at an even higher level. These effects compounded because I found that those improved behaviors and mindsets transferred into my personal life as well.

Brian, thank you so much for being such an amazing coach and, most importantly, thank you for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself and for helping to hold me to a higher standard so that I can grow as a leader and as an individual.

Brian is extremely helpful.

In the past I've been interested in coaching (it's definitely therapeutic to talk about problems with an objective third party) but a little skeptical of how much improvement it would actually make in the quality of my life and work. Brian does an amazing job translating ideas in conversations to tactical improvements you can make to be a better collaborator, leader, and friend. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone seeking coaching.

I knew Brian would be an awesome coach after our first consultation call, and was still blown away by the amount of growth we were able to achieve in 6 months. As someone working in an executive position at a fast-growing startup, I wanted help taking ownership in situations where not a lot of information or direction was available. Brian was incredibly skilled at helping me get to the root of what was keeping me stuck and finding ways to work through it. I feel a lot more comfortable making decisions in uncertainty, and pushing my ideas through. Not only were sessions with Brian impactful, they were a lot of fun too! Highly recommend Brian to anyone who wants to experience targeted and effective growth on the issues that matter to them, with a lot of laughs along the way.
