Purpose
Clarify the real choice, what it must serve, and the criteria and tradeoffs that should guide it. Purpose creates direction.
Coaching & Advisory
A partner for innovation and change
For the leader carrying the decision and the organization that has to live with it.
I coach the leader and advise the organization.
Change arrives at three levels at once. There is the decision an organization must make, the people and systems that must carry it, and the person responsible for leading while the answers are still incomplete.
I work across all these levels—helping make the real choice visible and strengthening the capacity to carry it.
Brant sees the business you could be running, not just the one you are. He helped me rebuild how my company actually works—what to keep, what to kill, and why. He did it without ever letting me lose my footing. I doubled my volume. More than that, I stopped confusing being busy with being successful.
When to engage
Something important is changing—and you are responsible for what comes next.
- You are carrying a consequential choice and need an independent thinking partner.
- Your strategy, organization, or role is changing faster than the existing system can absorb.
- You know the old direction no longer works, but the next one is not yet coherent.
- Your leadership team needs a shared frame for purpose, tradeoffs, and action.
Technology and innovation may be creating the opportunity, but capability alone cannot choose the direction.
I have backed a lot of people in energy. Brant is the one I call when a decision is genuinely hard. He takes in more information than anyone I know, finds the argument that actually holds, and then gets engineers, investors, and ministers to move on it together. That last part is rarer than the first two.
How the work moves
Purpose. Adaptation. Empowerment.
Adaptation
Strengthen the relationships, responsibilities, feedback, and resilience required to carry the choice as conditions change. Adaptation builds capacity.
Empowerment
Put technology, capital, partnerships, and new ways of working in service of the direction. Empowerment turns possibility into leverage and action.
Technologists had told me what was possible. Consultants had told me what it would cost. Brant was the first person to help me think through what any of it was for. Fifteen years in, he changed how I measure innovation—and how I get a room of people to commit to it.
Ways to work together
One leader, one decision, or a team that has to move together.
Private Leadership Coaching
Ongoing coaching for a founder, executive, investor, or institutional leader navigating innovation and change. We work with the decisions, relationships, patterns, and personal capacity that shape how you lead through it. This work usually begins with a three-month commitment.
Consequential Decision Intensive
A short, bounded engagement to clarify one consequential choice, make its criteria and tradeoffs visible, and establish a path leadership can carry forward.
Board & Team Advisory
A defined engagement that gives a leadership team or board the synthesis, challenge, and facilitation needed to build shared understanding and make aligned choices.
Why Brant
I have made these calls myself.
Three decades of consequential calls, most of them made before the evidence was complete. I have built companies on technology the market had not accepted, funded some ideas and refused others, rebuilt organizations that could not deliver their own strategy, and moved institutions that had every reason not to move.
Begin with the change you are carrying
You do not need to have the whole path figured out.
