Ed Brenegar Leadership Initiator, Celebrating Impact Creators

Asheville, North Carolina / Ventura, California
I'm a leadership initiator. I believe that people have the power to make a difference far beyond what their own imagination tells them. Often, all they need is for someone to believe in them. I'm that person. My best days are when a person with whom I'm working makes a decision, acts on it, and begins to see that they are making a difference that matters. This is how I spend my days, and I'm committed to doing this with individuals and organizations. I love helping the leaders of organizations develop their people into leadership initiators who create impact. This matters because if we can strengthen the organization, then we can make a difference for their clients / customers, their families, their community and the world at large. My working arrangement is simple. We…

Ed led our church, First Presbyterian of Natchez, Mississippi, through a leadership development process that resulted in transformation of our entire congregation as we created a vision for the future. We are now moving quickly through many of the implementation phases as a result of the attitudinal and self awareness changes that occurred through the process. Confidence and clarity of direction were the end result.

Ed brings to his engagements the creativity, experience and personality to effectively design a development process that is uniquely suited to the client organization and its leadership.

I recommend Dr. Ed Brenegar for consideration as a Leadership expert and consultant. I hired Ed to conduct a session called; "Managing Change when the Future is Unknown." This was a webinar session for over 250 Gannett managers. The exit survey results indicated the timeliness and relevance of the difficulty topic. Bottom-line, Ed did an excellent job for us and I offer him a strong recommendation.

I have worked with Ed for almost 3 years. We brought him into the company to help facilitate a corporate values statement. In this engagement, Ed developed a plan that included bringing a group of individuals together (at all levels, union and management, diverse), creating a foundational understanding of corporate values; facilitating discussions, focus groups and interviews to gain insight on what values we wanted to embrace; and developing implementation plans to roll out these values. The process and results could not have been better and Ed gained the confidence, appreciation and trust of the team and executives. This trust and confidence helped Ed navigate through some choppy waters at times. Becuase of his great work on this engagement we brought him back to be a coach for our executive team to help us build stronger and more effective relationships across the team. Ed's candor, expertise and ability to work well with the executive team helped us achieve stronger relationships and higher performance as a team. Ed is great to work with, is extremely customer focused, and appropriately uses technology to support his work. No question that we got great value from Ed and his results exceeded our expectations.

Ed Brenegar, Leadership Initiator, Celebrating Impact Creators answered:

The keys to successful relationships are pretty clear, but not easy to do. You need to be honest, respectful, generous, giving, appreciative, vulnerable, and be willing to have a relationship of mutual responsibility. You have to decide that to be with this person requires you to change, to sacrifice some of what you've come to expect, in order to have a mutually beneficial relationship. On top of that, I'd look for someone who is happy, has a genuine concern for others, and has a set of values that can be described in the context of their lifestyle. Third, look for someone whose life experience has some compatible connections. Same education level, same vacation interests, etc.

Are these high standards? Of course, an entrepreneur wouldn't want to have it any other way. Correct? But they are worth living up to them in order to find someone to join you as a partner.

Ed Brenegar, Leadership Initiator, Celebrating Impact Creators answered:

Strategic clarity is a product of strategic thinking, rather than strategic planing. It comes from being clear about who you are, what values you bring to the company or the project, and what the outcome should be.
I visualize strategic clarity as being able to walk into any situation and know what you must do. This means more than having a mission statement, or organizational values. It is more like having a story that provides a way to define who you are and why you do the things you do.
