My career has been dedicated to teaching, leading and learning. Braman Group International (BGI) draws on this experience through consultations that help leaders like you realize the vision of a more sane and sustainable world. Here’s how:
1) I work with organizations long term
I help envision breakthrough initiatives to extend the mission, build the brand, and enhance revenues. Then, I assemble the team and oversee the entire launch – financial planning, marketing, website development, student recruitment, staff hiring and training, and management of operations.

“As an executive for an American company working in South America to develop an artisan industry, I was beset
by stubborn implementation issues, cross-cultural
misunderstandings, and pressures for delivery from the
home office. John’s coaching helped me unravel the issues,
work across barriers of race and class, develop a learning
plan, and stick with it. I learned how to better manage my
boss. Eventually I left the company, but when I did, it was
with a clear direction that I have found very fulfilling.”
