"It has been an absolute honor and privilege to work alongside Lonnie Brewer. His passion, expertise, and commitment to excellence is second-to-none. Lonnie has been a trusted advisor, an objective sounding-board, a mentor, executive coach, valued consultant, and a friend. Humble, yet unapologetic, a man of high standards yet patient with others, and a big picture thinker and leader who took time to understand our business and the value of incremental goal achievement. The results included the business overcoming nearly a million-dollar deficit, that lingered for several years. We grew the operating budget by $1.6 million, and grew our liquidity by $2.5 million, while reducing our debt to less than $100,000. Frankly, Lonnie Brewer is the real deal!"

His feedback and questions are shared in such a genuine way, that you feel empowered and at ease on the journey of development."

"Lonnie Brewer’s approach to coaching brought immediate benefits to me. He is a sincere and easily approachable advisor and I felt at ease with him very quickly in our relationship. He has an ability to listen and then boil down issues into relatable stories and experiences which help to get to the heart of the matter and to make progress. He speaks from his heart and genuinely tries to help others be their best. He helped me see leadership as not just about my job but about being human and living with integrity. As a female finance leader in a technology company, Lonnie was instrumental at helping me navigate unique, sometimes difficult situations, and be more strategic in my thinking. When I was evaluating career opportunities, he helped me reflect on my own needs and goals to make the right decisions for my career and my life. Lonnie is a great resource for any company who is passionate about developing its leaders.”

"I have worked with Lonnie for a number of years as an executive coach, consultant, and trusted advisor. Lonnie helped me to build an effective global talent strategy and a high performing leadership team during a time of business transformation. Later, Lonnie and I partnered again, where he was exceedingly instrumental in helping to develop an employee resource group from a group of passionate advocates, focused on articulating to senior leaders why the hiring, retention and advancement of diverse slates would add value to the organization. We were highly successful! Lonnie’s ability to listen, build trust and communicate difficult subjects effectively in a graceful manner was a significant differentiator and made him an unquestionably gifted executive coach and consultant. I am fortunate that I partnered with Lonnie throughout this journey and enthusiastically recommend him as an executive coach and consultant.”

“Recently, I faced a tough re-election campaign during the unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic. I had to quickly pivot and reinvent my campaign strategy midstream. Lonnie worked with me and helped me strategize to better leverage my strengths to meet the moment successfully. Working with Lonnie has been immensely helpful, rewarding, and inspiring. His passion and optimism are both infectious and motivating. Lonnie is a talented executive coach who combines great listening with powerful and insightful questions. He encourages self awareness of the values you bring while also addressing the need to dig deep to explore new approaches and ideas that would work with your leadership skills. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to achieve their goals in life and work!”

Parenthood with Lonnie Brewer

Listen as Lonnie Brewer discusses his experience growing up on first base and parenting. Lonnie is an H.R. consultant, a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultant, and has his own podcast underway titled On Becoming Bulletproof.

Growing up with three sisters and a mother who continually worked at least two jobs, Lonnie felt the responsibility to be the man of the house, even at five years old. He shares the stark transition from living in a dangerous area with no racism to a safer white neighborhood with overt racism. Lonnie’s experience navigating different layers of poverty has shaped him into the resilient father he is today with wisdom that can only be taught through sharing his experience.
