Many companies don’t have the resources, expertise or leadership alignment they need to get their high potential black, indigenous, people of color employees ready for the next level. Our Executive Coaching and Leadership Development Program can help.

After successfully navigating the highest levels of academia and corporate America, I know firsthand what is required to create an inclusive culture that supports top talent and prepares them for future challenges.

"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!"

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.

"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.”

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!”
