Welcome to BrassRings!

The brass ring has long been a symbol of achievement

“Grabbing the brass ring” or getting a “shot at the brass ring” also means striving for the highest prize, or living life to the fullest.

When it comes to personal and professional growth most of us find ourselves with the latest self-help or business strategy book in hand.  We take pride in proactively trying to better ourselves and our organizations, but the truth is that those solutions don’t always stick.

The reality is growth takes practice.

Find the Program that’s Right for You…

How do we utilize positive psychology in our programs?

Our goal is to take the foundations of traditional training programs and weave in an awareness of how our brains work so that we can provide tools for growth and wellbeing in all aspects of our life.  Managing your energy and mindset as well as understanding your character strengths are key components for personal and professional achievement.   The theme of broaden and build resonates with our team and can be felt throughout our programs.

Our coaching and consulting programs are built around understanding and embracing human nature. We help our clients build the clarity and capacity in their lives that allows them to move into a phase of execution. If you have a goal, project or vision that you are struggling to implement we will help you design a system that’s right for you.

Your Coaches

No Coincidences

I recently lost my job, which is never a good thing in general, and even more so when you have one kid in college and the other one finishing high school.  I have always believed that everything happens for a reason, but it’s at these moments when that belief is...

Start Small and Seek Out a Role Model

I see so many first year coaches make the same mistakes I did.   Coaches get certified and then they start buying stuff. They tell me about their purchases with great enthusiasm. "I bought a programs that will teach me how to make an online video" and "I just...

Choosing Your Coaching Certification Program

Before there was a Brass Rings Lauchpad Program, there was just me. I knew I wanted (needed) to launch my business quickly. I needed to get life coach certified immediately and get into action. I wasn’t going to work in the corporate world anymore; I was completely...

My Stairway to Success…A Path for Fellow Coaches

People coach for so many different reasons. I was a fixer and I finally became a coach when I had the maturity and wisdom to realize fixing doesn’t help anyone. Listening, transferring skills, helping others practice and patience do. It’s a career that protects me and...

Causes and Consequences

    If you don’t want it in the paper, then don’t do it.If you don’t want to be quoted, if you don’t want it repeated, then don’t say it.And we might also add, if you don’t want it on your conscience, don’t do it.If you don’t want it in your life at all,...

My Tipping Point, Why I reached out to a life coach and joined a mastermind group.

For the past 8 years I have been thriving as a "doer" in the bio-pharmaceutical industry, learning as much as I could about product development, manufacturing, and commercialization. I started at the absolute bottom right out of college (which I later learned is the...

Coming Out of the Woods

There is this feeling when you are walking through a dense stand of trees that it goes on forever with a sense of which way is out? Motherhood is like that; the trees are so dense you feel lost. The actual experience, when you get to take a breath though, is...

Want to Level up? Hire a CXO

Sometimes when I talk about what I do for a living, I am not as clear as I should be.In 2018, I tried on a lot of hats. Some were good fits and others weren’t. The experimentation was necessary, but I can see how confusing it would be if you were watching my growth...

Take the Fear out of Hiring – Using Purpose as a Tool

Sometimes I help businesses hire people.  I am not a recruiter and I don’t focus on resumes or candidate when I start my work. I focus on needs of the organization, building a preliminary playbook for the role and an onboarding plan including a 90- day review.  That’s...

I Stopped Chasing Money

In 2018 I stopped chasing money. I remember when I started chasing it. I used to have a career that paid for everything I could ever want or need. When I quit my job and started my own coaching and consulting business I was truly happy. It meant choosing whom I worked...

“It was very gratifying today to check off that one thing that I’ve been putting off for so long!”

Knowledge is power. And knowing a little more about how our minds are wired has been a blessing to me! The information you and Colleen are offering is bringing clarity and understanding. I am feeling more empowered as I learn more of how my brain operates. Thank you!!
