Bryan Franklin has coached top level executives at Fortune 1000 companies (including Apple, Logitech, Google, Cisco, SAP, and LinkedIn) and helped entrepreneurs build their fledgling organizations into success stories–taking them from start-ups to billion dollar-generators. He’s been one of the world’s most successful executive coaches for the last decade and as a dyed-in-the-wool entrepreneur himself, he’s started, bought, and sold more than a dozen successful businesses.
Bryan has dedicated the last 20 years to studying leadership, facilitation, sales and personal growth, leading cutting-edge transformational seminars for Lifespring, The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People, Best Year Yet, WholeScale, and several of his own transformational companies including Quadratic Leadership and EvolvingLove.us in collaboration with partner in business and life Jennifer Russell.
"Success by itself is not worth the risk of failure. I don’t think we become CEOs or entrepreneurs because we want to succeed. We do this because we want to know if the future we see can become real."
