"Brian has been a key resource in my development as a principal. His coaching questions are a scaffold around which I began to build insights into my challenges and options. Brian took the time to listen and understood my values so that he could support me while respecting those values. He helped me identify my core strengths and areas for growth and broke those areas into tangible targets. I appreciated that Brian would regularly remind me of what I had aimed to achieve and helped me to account for that."
