Are you ready for an epic journey of discovery?
Your story.
If you aren't telling it, you are missing opportunities because of it.
WHO you are.
WHY you exist.
WHAT you believe.
HOW you live.
Story is my passion.
I love to help people embrace identity, chase destiny, and leave their legacy for generations to learn from, build on, and honor. When you discover, tell, and share your story it will empower others to as well. I believe that's a competitive advantage many leaders and teams are missing out on.
You'll find me creating, strategizing, and speaking about story every chance I get. Sometimes it's in a blog, a podcast, on a stage, in a workshop, on social media, or many other ways coaching teams/staff that are trying to build something epic, together.
If you'd like to chat, I'd be honored.
Full disclosure...
I'm a relationship guy. I want to understand where you are coming from, where you want to go, and see if our worlds colliding might be a mutual blessing. If they are, we'll know it, and we can talk about how to walk together in it.
You are you for a reason. Your team is unique.
It's important to fully acknowledge and embrace who you are and where your gifts are.
For example...
You don't want me to literally wire, plumb, or build anything with my hands for you. It would catch on fire, flood, or fall down. I don't bake or cook. If I did, you would starve.
I speak, teach, and coach leaders and their teams how to leverage every ounce of story.
Electricians use wires for power. Plumbers use pipes as a conduit for water. Contractors use wood as a framework. Chefs have recipes they follow.
Instead...
I am hard-wired to use the power of words to become a conduit of emotion between hearts. I love watching them come to life on a page, in a conversation, or from a stage. It excites me to watch the framework of them support the vision of a leader, and passion of a team as they communicate their message. I hunger to speak, teach and coach recipes that generations can share with one another, of the story that turned their dreams into reality.
If you, or your team, are ready to learn more about how to leverage your story, let's talk.
BrettWGould@gmail.com is the best way to get in touch.
We just relocated from Western New York to South Carolina, so my phone number will be changing. Until then, hit me with an email and we can set up a time to talk.
I'm looking forward to hearing your heart, vision and passion!
Till We Meet,
-Brett

testimonials
From a head Coach...
"As a group the players were emotionally charged each time you sent your messages to me - I shared them. Those words were powerful and they had impact on the group that translated into wins"
-Coach Socrates Nicolaidis
Jefferson University
Women's Soccer
2019 CACC Coach of the Year
2019 CACC Regular Season & Tournament Champions
From Student-athletes...
"your motivation and inspiration lit a flame in this team that certainly attributed to this past season’s success."
"I believe that you being our culture coach had a positive impact on our program. For starters I think it was beneficial to have an outside perspective on how our team functions."
As our culture coach, you have motivated us, and taught us many ways to improve the relationships we build with our teammates.
"As part of the leadership group it has opened my eyes tremendously as to how different each person is, and how to lead without a captains band."
"By you coming I think it made our team have to come together and become one unit, which I believed helped us make it as far as we did."
What does it mean to live #TheMVPLife?
It's not what you think, but exactly what you've been looking for as a leader!
From a school administrator...
" Having Brett join our Hamburg Team this year has been invaluable. We were looking to continue and enhance our focus in the District of creating a"culture of kindness." Brett took time to learn the details of what we had accomplished, and provided great insight into what we could do to move forward. By far the best part was seeing Brett in action. He was able to stand behind the plan, and his almost immediate connection with students and staff was amazing. Showing students we care is one of the most important parts of our job every day. Brett cares about students and does whatever it takes to help them be successful in their own way."

brett's approach
This is where I am supposed to brag about how good I am at what I do, right? Not my style. Instead, I'd simply like to share where my travels have taken me, and give a snap shot into the collection of experiences I've had the honor of being part of. I've seen two decades worth of teams operate anywhere from extremely dysfunctional to highly successful (that's being real). Being able to leverage many of these experiences into a process for teams to make progress as a Culture Coach is the most humbling and rewarding vocation I can imagine. Wherever you are on your journey it would be my honor to see your vision, hear your heart, and walk with you...to help you get on track, stay on track, or create the brand new path you feel called to pave!

Whether he is in conversation with business owners, a board of directors, a sports team, students in a classroom, or any other group of people...there is an infectious nature to the way Brett coaches how to discover, share, and live out WHO you are and come together as a TEAM. If you are stuck, you need Brett. If you simply want to take the next step(s) as a team, you need Brett. He has an ability to see, speak about, and help you put a plan into place that will create the healthy team culture you are after. And wait until you hear his story! From college flunk-out to graduating from college with honors. Literally from a 0.00 GPA to a 4.00. From pain, to promise...it's a story you'll connect with at a heart level that will inspire you to reach your highest level as a team!
