A mentor brings real-life experience and points out the quicksand in your path. A coach uses tested methodologies and frameworks for sustainable change. As your mentor-coach, I draw upon my whole life and career experience – as a person, a friend, a husband, a parent, an employee, a boss, an executive coach – and offer that to you.
During many coaching sessions, I’ve observed times when formal coaching questions (“how would such a result make you feel?”) caused frustration – because the client really needed someone to share real-life experience (“going around your boss is not a good idea”). For a while, I announced that I was switching hats from “coach” to something else, but that just gets tiresome. So, I am just going to be Bruce. I draw from my corporate leadership experience and my executive coaching education. The result has been a very authentic coach-client partnership.
"I was brought to tears while I read my personal notes on why I thought I started this journey versus why I REALLY started this journey and what I actually learned from it. What you showed me about myself and how it filtered (or didn’t filter) into my career is truly ‘priceless’."

The goal of knowing about personality type is to understand how you perceive the world around you (things, people, happenings, or ideas) and how you reach conclusions about what has been perceived.
The NBI™ (Neethling Brain Instruments) is a measure of your thinking preferences—the degree to which you prefer some tasks more than others.

The NBI™ tools can enhance social and emotional intelligence.
“Working with Bruce opened a lot of doors for me, showed me tools that I could use to break out of the rut in which I had found myself, and even introduced doors to me that I did not even know existed previously. It was a journey of self-awareness and discovery, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without his leadership and guidance.””
