Today I’m excited to be cyberhopping across the waterways to Arizona in the United States to chat with our guest Mr Brian Wood.
Brian achieved All-Metro, captain and MVP honors while playing basketball at William Paterson University in New Jersey.
After completing his undergraduate degree (BA Communications) in 1987, he combined his hunger for competition and adventure by participating on several traveling basketball teams including tournaments in Denmark, Puerto Rico, Australia, Mexico City, Alaska, Panama, and Hawaii.
Juggling career, family and volunteer responsibilities, Brian was able to earn his MBA at the University of Phoenix in 2014.
Later he secured the Certified Professional Coach designation through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching
Additionally, Brian is an accredited Master Practitioner of the Energy Leadership Index Program and a certified Leadership Circle Profile Practitioner.
He has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors with the Tempe Chamber of Commerce and this together with the athletic and Corporate America journey has provided him with valuable perspectives while exposing a clear need relative to coaching.
As Brian highlights, athletes are often provided with essential coaching at an early age. However, when it’s time to transition away from active participation, more often than not – coaching no longer takes place.
Brian is inspired to make a difference in his client's lives. He’s motivated to collaborate, identify, and help them pursue their higher purpose – building a legacy of greatness!
So, during our conversation, you will hear Brian and I discussing some of the details that lie beneath the surface of things we often take for granted.
Topics such as understanding other cultures at a deeper level and even having genuine empathy with your partner and their struggles while they support us in pursuing our dreams.
It’s a wide-ranging discussion that I’m confident you will enjoy.
