About Brian Wood

Coaching programs for high potential and high performance executives.

Vision and creativity are byproducts of thinking differently. Transformational Leaders think differently and realize that the leadership journey is one of continuous improvement, without a finish line. This requires more than a transactional "We've always done it this way" approach. Leadership can change the culture, produce sustainable results while increasing the discretionary effort of team members. Team leadership skills will consistently move the company closer to the organizational vision - or further from that destination. Throughout your success journey it can often feels as though you are on an island and pursuing greatness independently. Although resiliency and determination can assist you in achieving your desired results, imagine the feeling of having a non judgemental advisor, coach and teammate in your corner. Think about how this dynamic could elevate your personal and professional results and move you closer to your true potential.

Don't let ego convince you to embark on this adventure alone. I expedite the trust building process and show up with accountability, creativity, compassion and confidentiality.

You can expect psychological safety and enthusiasm about exploring possibilities without compromising your values. You will always have a teammate and can expect a response to text messages at any time within 12 hours.

Coaching programs for professional athletes transitioning out of sports

Transition Coaching for Athletes/Former Athletes

The skills and disciplines that generated athletic success are transferable to influence, passion and greatness away from the game. Unfortunately, most professional athletes associate their value and identity exclusively with athletic performance. This is simply not the case!

It's unlikely that you succeeded athletically without a support team of coaches, trainers and/or mentors. Would you pursue your next adventure without transitional support? It may feel like you're alone after you've put in all the work and supported so many.

You're not alone.

Let's partner and walk through the process of creating and pursuing your vision and your version of success.

The intention of leveraging a speaker could involve several goals, but putting the audience to sleep should not be one of them! The desired outcome for your team and organization could include education, entertainment, engaging, motivating or all of the above! I can avoid the melatonin effect and drive the results you're looking for through storytelling (often sports and corporate world related) while connecting the lessons to leadership and the desired outcome. My approach includes translating the stories into actionable items as opposed to just "feeling motivated." The audience can expect to reflect and move toward sustainable personal and professional change. This includes acknowledging the habits and mindset that serve us while understanding the obstacles that can often surface.

Energize your team or organization with a global speaker passionate about personal and professional development. Brian provides audiences with a powerful and entertaining experience that involves storytelling, engagement, and specific methods for applying a process for organizational and individual success.
