Executive Vice President
CORE Realty Holdings LLC.

"Over the last 12 months I have engaged Michael Brainard as an executive coach in order to help continue to take my career to that next level.  While I had experienced reasonable success prior to working with Mr. Brainard he has helped identify weaknesses in my management style to focus and improve while also assisting in the development of my areas of strength.  As a result I have been able to improve my relationships throughout the organization and motivate other departments as well as my partners to take action towards a common objective.  I have been able to establish trust and confidence with my 4 partners and the “C” level executives in the organization creating a more cohesive and cooperative working environment compared with the first 2 years in the organization."

Executive Coaching

Our Coaching Philosophy…

As organizations strive to gain and maintain competitive advantage, the demand on leaders is greater than ever. The need for leaders at all levels who can develop and execute strategy, build commitment during uncertain times, and navigate change confidently. Even the most experienced leaders are finding the current business environment challenging. Forward-thinking organizations are providing support to their leaders through coaching to enable them to lead and succeed.

• Growing “High Potential” leaders
• Addressing performance issues of both the leader and the people who interact with that leader
• Assuring success in new assignments
• Assuring organizational alignment
• Addressing re-organization needs
• Accelerating new leader assimilation
• Enabling cultural change through leadership action

Success Story

Challenge: A large Telecommunications Firm and one of their Engineers wanted the individual contributor to move into a management role. Although the Engineer had very strong technical skills, they lacked interpersonal skills.

Action: Based on the needs, Brainard Strategy matched a coach with the individual to help in their professional development. Weekly coaching sessions took place for over three months. During the coaching, a pre and post 360 Degree Feedback survey was administered.

Result: The coaching resulted in a significant improvement in the interpersonal skills based on co-worker and boss feedback when comparing the pre and post 360 surveys results. Additionally, the Engineer was considered by the organization for a management position.
