Senior Vice President, Operations & CFO
Nolet Spirits U.S.A., 2009

“We had originally requested Brainard Strategy to assist us in the development of custom leadership development offerings. In the midst of our training, we began to go through some organizational changes at our company. In one of our sessions on Change Leadership, Michael demonstrated an amazing grasp of the organizational implications of these types of changes. As Michael had practical experience with organization change, we asked him to shift his focus from partnering with us on leadership development to change management. He was able to work with our executive team on communications and structural concerns, with our managers on how to deal with their own experiences of the changes and to offer them coaching and guidance on handling their direct reports. He demonstrated a true knowledge of change management, made theory real and applied his experience in practical ways.

We count on Brainard Strategy for strategic change management and leadership development needs and Michael Brainard is a well respected resource for many in our company.”
