What They’re Saying

Having just wrapped up a role which pushed me out of the scoped remit I had intended, it was crucial to have support in stepping into those challenges. Brad, of Insightful Coaching Solutions has worked with the team at Edge Advisory Partners for over 12 months.

He brought to our business a clarity of focus and a discipline to execute the transformational projects which we set about undertaking. In addition to his mentorship, Brad proved an invaluable resource to the team and I in developing our own sense of self, communication styles, goals and lenses on the world.

I can happily endorse Brad and his work to any professional service business, seeking to reframe, refresh and refocus on their next steps of growth.

I have been working with Brad for almost a year; his knowledge and advice has developed and transformed me to the next level in work and everyday life. He has provided insight into work related subjects that has given me a new and positive perspective. His mentoring has help me to change in a lot of areas where I was closed minded and uninformed, which has in turn helped me to be more clear and positive in regards to professional life decisions.

Brad’s mentoring sessions have been insightful, helpful and enjoyable; resulting in multiple goals achieved in a timely manner.
I would strongly recommend Brad without hesitation to aid in developing any clearer or specific goals, both personally and professionally.

We initially engaged brad to help us profile candidates for a sales role. We then engaged him to build a development program for the team. The approach taken was engaging and provided behavioural modelling and language patterns that enhanced communication and engagement skills. To date I have seen improvements in my team’s effectiveness as a result. Personally, I enjoyed Brad’s approach and his ability to question and lead individuals to self-improvement. Brad is an excellent coach and the framework he uses has provided insights into leadership, sales process and communication strategy.

Brad is very insightful; providing sound practical advice and adapting to learning styles while using practical examples. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Brad and would personally endorse him to leaders of industry.

I worked with Brad during my time leading sales for Tait Communications in Australia. He was engaged on an evaluation and development programme of the sales team. This was insightful and helpful, bringing new perspectives and I saw improvements in my team’s effectiveness as a result. Personally, I enjoyed Brad’s approach and his ability to ask the right questions that led to self-improvement. I have remained in touch with Brad and have, on occasion, had the benefit of his perspectives when I felt that a wall was about to be hit. I am happy to recommend him.

“Brad has mentored and coached both myself, the Managing director and the sales team. He has provided insights into leadership, sales process and communication strategy. He was instrumental in developing a communications strategy “ mission to vision” for Tait communications go to market strategy. He was also instrumental in identifying gaps in existing sales capability, sales process and communication. Brad has challenged the existing paradigm and in so doing has provided insights into the business behaviour that are often overlooked. I have enjoyed working with Brad and would personally endorse him to leaders of industry.”

“Brad is an amazingly insightful mentor and leader. As the Head of our SMSF Sales and Capability team, he took on a role and a team that was seen; especially in the early days; as an unwanted and unwarranted entity. However, the expertise and extensive knowledge he possessed was a beacon of leadership that helped steer our already experienced team into area’s we had not known previously. The confident and technical layers of Sales and Marketing strategy, the tools to apply and implement those, showed me personally, a new way to develop new business and thoroughly understand how to harness organic growth. When you get to work with someone, who instils their knowledge and is not precious about sharing that knowledge, who even today after working together six years ago, still has time to mentor and give a colleague advice, shows that he is a leader of industry who you want to be associated with. I know Brad has more recently taken his knowledge to markets outside of Banking and Financial Services and applied those skills to assist in Sales teams to re-align with the greater vision of the business they are in, this just showcases the skill of how Brads sales strategies can be applied in any industry.
Thank you for all your work and personal time you have gifted to me personally Brad.”

“Brad is a very experienced sales coach and a wonderful mentor. He’s been very patient with me and helped me to be a better form of myself. There were many things that I took for granted as truths or things that I never realised I can achieve, and Brad helped me to see it from another angle and perspective. And help me to achieve all that I always believed to be impossible.
So thank you Brad for your time and most importantly, go out there and help more people change for the better in their career!”

“Brad is a constant learner of all things relating to business development, people development, and strategic development. His capacity to implement ideas within the framework of a business (and it’s culture) is remarkable! He will challenge outdated dogma and make you think. More simply, Brad embodies the notion of ‘don’t hire for what one has recently achieved, hire for potential.”
