Where Leading Becomes Second Nature

If You Lead A Team And:

But you're not getting the training you need

Then, You’re In The Right Place.

Anyone Can Be A Great Leader

Leadership is a learnable skill.

We know because we’ve been developing leaders for 40 years.

But Occasional Training Doesn’t Work

Most leadership training is random and inconsistent.

Which doesn’t result in meaningful improvement

What Works Is :

Continuous learning and practice

With other growth minded leaders

In a fun welcoming community

That is very affordable

"Brian is an excellent coach and a truly wonderful person. His genuine desire to help others succeed made our coaching sessions both meaningful and productive. Together, we developed a set of KPIs that have been very helpful in keeping track of our business’s health. Brian also helped me improve my team’s dynamic through practical exercises, such as personality profiles and fostering open conversations about how we can communicate more effectively and make the most of our strengths. On a personal level, he encouraged me to look at work differently by focusing more on activities that put me in a state of flow, which has been incredibly rewarding. "

"Over the past few years, working with Brian has been an incredibly enriching and transformative experience. During moments of uncertainty, when I questioned whether I was on the right path, Brian’s guidance helped me unlock a clearer vision. Rather than handing me the answers, he skillfully led me to discover them on my own, fostering both confidence and growth.Brian’s mentorship has also been instrumental in shaping me into a better manager. He taught me to appreciate and embrace the diverse ways team members approach challenges—not better or worse, just different. This understanding has allowed me to provide more tailored and impactful leadership. On a personal level, he’s also helped me recognize my own tendencies, such as my drive to “get things done,” and embrace patience when it matters most. Thanks to these invaluable lessons, not only has our business achieved remarkable growth, quadrupling year after year, but I’ve also found a way to achieve a healthier work-life balance—something I once thought was out of reach. Brian’s influence has left an enduring mark on my professional and personal journey, and I know he will always be my trusted go-to whenever I seek guidance in the future.”

I am grateful to Brian for including me in his peer advisory group and for his exceptional teaching and coaching. The group has had a big impact on my leadership effectiveness. The lessons at the start of each session consistently provide valuable tools and fresh perspectives that I can immediately apply in my work. The group discussions offer innovative solutions to challenges I couldn’t address on my own—or at least not as effectively. This experience has significantly improved me as a leader and boosted my team’s overall performance. As a result, I am now a happier, more confident, and far more effective leader.

Meet the Team

It’s a shame that so many leaders don’t get the training they need and their teams suffer because of it. It’s not the leaders’ fault nor the companies they work for.

The sad fact is that effective, affordable, continuous leadership training is hard to find. That’s why we created the Automatic Leader learning community.

Our goal is to develop 1,000 top notch leaders by YE 2027.
