We've seen (and done it all): CEO, COO, partner, board member, advisor, consultant, facilitator, executive coach, keynote speaker, investor – you name it. We've see things that work, and what didn't. But most initiatives work best when done
in tandem - not as one-offs. For instance:
• Keynotes are great for marking on occasion or kicking off a new initiative, to motivating your audience to action – and we do inspiring keynotes – but what about follow up?
• A one-and-done workshop will provide tactical skills – and we do fun, knowledge-filled workshops – but is there an enduring impact?
• Self-paced skills training helps the individual employee who takes the time – and we offer these too – but can they alone clear the deck?
• Leadership retreats, coaching, and partnerships
each have an important part to play as the organization matures - but each by themselves is also unlikely to make a substantive difference over the longer-term.
This is why we founded the Braintrust Professional Institute: Given our experience growing (and exiting) our own companies, as well as coaching and advising 100+ others, we saw that a more integrated approach is what will move the needle.
Here are some ways we provide support to organizations:
• C-Suite leaders know what they know, but they don't know what they don't know; this issue becomes even more acute as the business grows. We can help, with
Executive Coaching.
• The Leadership team is often focused on their individual silos and achieving their own objectives. We can help build alignment (and upskill the group as a whole) with a
Leadership Retreat.
• Cohorts: whether it is a specific function, specialized business units, or cohorts of those newly promoted, we can help with
Management training,
Business development training, or
Self-paced skills courses.
• All employees: Building a common vocabulary, and getting the same message to everyone is critical to building a high-performance organization. We can help with motivating
keynotes at kick-offs/conferences, and
monthly professional development webinars. (We can also coach the C-suite leaders on building effective town halls and all-hands meetings.)
