What are you obstacles to organizational growth? Where are the areas of friction? And what are your priorities, strategically and tactically? We'll start with a discovery call to understand these questions, then identify the knowledge gaps
that need to be addressed.
Where are you spinning your wheels? Does your sales and marketing need a boost? Do you need to breathe new life into your strategic thinking, innovation, or critical thinking capabilities? Or it's your managers that need support. Or perhaps there are tactical skill upgrades that can make a difference.
For coaching and continuing professional development, we recommend doing these "virtually", as this minimizes travel costs and time away from the office. It also means that people can access the training from geographically dispersed locations. For retreats, management education, and kick-offs/conferences, there are powerful advantages to bringing people together "live" in person:
improved teamwork,
and the "hallway" conversations.

Your organization has grown, but it seems more chaotic than ever.
Or there has been a major “shock” to the organization (tough economy, M&A, new competitor, new systems, new tech - eg AI), and there is a significant amount of uncertainty or stress.
Or maybe there is a new leadership team, who wants to do things… very differently.
In all three cases, change is necessary, and alignment even more so. But how?
• “How can we drive impact throughout the organization?”
• “How can we create an aligned and “thinking” organization?”
• “How can we cultivate the “new” desired culture?”
Yes, traditional change management has its place, but in this session, we will go beyond, and explore a number of additional concepts.

Listen in to these clips from our monthly Q&A sessions for leaders.
As a leader, you motivate and set expectations for everyone within your organization… but what about yourself?
For your partners?
For your partners? And for your leadership team?
Many leaders are feeling the challenge of steering their ship through recession, inflation, and economic uncertainty.
In this session I’ll share some very different strategies and non-traditional approaches that leaders can use to recession-proof their business. (And to preserve cash.)
Explore our full library of leadership and strategy Q&A sessions.
And register to join (or just listen in on) upcoming live sessions: See list of events.
We welcome your topic suggestions! Send your suggestions to [email protected]!

The more effort you put into each action item, the greater your impact will be. Our two comprehensive courses (Thought Leadership, Trusted Advisor), are definitely not a "sit back and be entertained" training: they are zero-fluff. They have been designed to minimize the amount of your time listening, in order to give you more time to actually execute. For our shorter courses, they are designed to illuminate a particular topic area, and are also zero fluff: time commitment depends on how deeply you wish to implement any of the frameworks and concepts that were introduced.
Randall has founded several successful start-ups, held a long-time position at KPMG, and was a senior executive at an American public company. He is the author 8 books, including The Everything Guide to Starting an Online Business, has taught at numerous executive education programs, and frequently appears as an expert in the media. Beyond his role as the CEO of the Braintrust Professional Institute, Randall divides his time between coaching leaders on how to scale their businesses, writing, and sharing his knowledge on digital strategy as a conference speaker. Randall has served on numerous corporate and not-for-profit boards, and has earned an FCMC, CFA, MBA, CSP, and a Black Belt in Karate. Randall has also been inducted into the Speaking Hall of Fame.
Yes! We alldeliver both custom programs, as well as "point" training on more than 58 topics across the areas of leadership, strategy, marketing, and business development. We also deliver integrated programs that include both live training and leadership coaching. Interested in learning more? Reach out at [email protected] or www.RandallCraig.net/30 to have a short conversation.
Support is provided via the four coaching calls that take place during the course. For tech issues, email us at any time. We want to make sure that you get off to a good start. In the first month, reach out if you have any questions and we'll do our best to support you.
This course may not be right for you. If you don't do the work, you are guaranteed that you won't become a thought leader. This course provides the formula and tools to be successful. Randall has been teaching this methodology to over 100 major organizations, spoken to tens of thousands of audience members, and has been profiled by over 450 major outlets. All these experiences qualify Randall to share what he knows and how he got there. Now it's your turn. We want to teach you how to be uniquely you rather than teach you to be a
cookie cutter.
