not found.

Testimonials

What leaders are saying.

"We've had Breck speak multiple times. He was a fresh voice on a program full of industry-specific talks, and his message applied to our audience just as directly. He's super engaging and entertaining on stage and connects with the room every time. Exactly what you want in a keynote speaker."
Ben Fox — Chief Growth Officer, Five Star Franchising
"Breck struck a rare balance between mindset and application. He quickly built trust in the room and gave our leaders tools they could actually use. For anyone looking to develop their leaders and build stronger alignment, this workshop is absolutely worth your time."
Sheldon Menlove — Vice President, UCCU
"Breck came and trained my team at our corporate retreat. I have seen a million presentations in my career and I was especially impressed by Breck’s ability to communicate practical application of the concepts he taught us. It wasn’t just a plastic presentation that sounds nice and draws a golf clap at the end. He actually connects to his audience and got us to think about how we could benefit from having heard him teach."
Mark Day — President, Remarkable Home Loans

Fit Is Forged, Not Found

When it comes to our jobs, we’re taught to search for the right fit, as if the perfect job is out there waiting to be discovered. It isn’t. People who thrive at work don’t find fit, they create it. Learn how to make small changes at the margins of your work (what you do, who you do it with, and how you think about it) so it fits your strengths, values, and ambitions in ways your organization will welcome.

    Participants will
  • Learn the principles of job crafting that predict whether employees stay in their job.

1:1 Coaching

Make your job fit for you.

Individual

For professionals who feel stuck in their role. Whether you're a new hire or a seasoned vet, your role can be reshaped to fit you better. Coaching helps you decide what to expand, what to hand off, and with whom to spend your time.

Inquire
Organizational

For organizations that want coaching built into onboarding. A six-month retainer with your new hires—outside the reporting line—so people can be candid about how the role is landing, and problems surface early enough to fix.
