  • “Brandon's approach to coaching is clear and data-driven. Every time I leave a coaching meeting, I am clear on the steps I need to take to achieve my vision with the team. Having him onsite to observe my work in person has been invaluable to my development as he is able to guide me in the moment toward the outcome we both desire.”
