"Our executive team needed assistance in identifying opportunities for revenue generating ideas that would bring a ROI within the next 9 months. Brainard Strategy effectively led us through a process that maximized our strategy sessions and led to the development of some exciting initiatives.".”

“Our strategy was unclear and the lack of alignment across departments resulted in negative business outcomes. Brainard Strategy came on board and partnered with us to create and implement an executive strategy that has made us more successful and effective than ever.”

“We were having a difficult time with bringing together our executive sales team. There were obvious effects due to the lack of synergy around teaming and the team was resistant towards chance. Brainard Strategy created and facilitated an offsite that precisely hit the team’s needs! By the end of the teambuilding, the team had removed many barriers and created common goals. My employees are now working as a team for the first time.”

“We realized that while we were having great business success, in order to continue at our current rate of growth we needed to assist our Regional Sales Directors in the development of certain skill sets. We sought to strengthen their own leadership and management awareness, and then provided them the opportunity to build their own teams in a much more effective manner.  Brainard Strategy took our team through a 360 degree assessment and the DISC assessment. These were valuable tools for both our sales management team and our sales representatives, as they helped us to better understand ourselves and lead our teams. Going forward, we were able to link the assessments to our own sales training. This has helped us build stronger leaders and has enhanced our effectiveness with our customers.”

“We realized that we just weren’t reaching the goals our team set out to attain… We were struggling to improve our management team’s skills and sales ability. Brainard Strategy efficiently took our team through sales training and personal development planning activities. Because of Brainard Strategy, our team is back on track.”

“At times, when we have executives who are derailed and/or struggling to capitalize on their strengths and maximize their potential we need external resources who are able to quickly assess the situation, confront the behaviors and attitudes that are barriers, and advise executives “real time”, which is often very fast... With the help of Michael Brainard and the coaches at Brainard Strategy, many of our executives are able to quickly assimilate changes in their performance and motivation. This real-time change is what enables our leaders to help the organization take the next steps towards success.”

"We realized that moving our business into the future involved a more strategic approach to talent management. Brainard Strategy partnered with us to develop a performance management system that facilitated clearer, more effective communication between managers and employees. This created a clearer understanding of how not only the company, but the individuals, benefit by increased efficiencies and productivity. Brainard's approach and training skills really impacted the way we do business."
