Brian combines humility with brilliance - a rare leadership quality. His masterful communication skills unite people around a shared vision, while keeping focus on what truly matters. Having worked with many executives, I can say Brian stands out as a visionary leader and passionate advocate for a better world.

The Silent Killers of Enterprise Momentum

You’re a leader in a significant enterprise, but do these challenges feel familiar?

01

Meetings Are Full, But Real Ideas Are Missing?

Discussions stay surface-level, critical feedback is withheld, and your team defaults to cautious agreement, mistaking silence for alignment.

02

High Performers Disengaging or Quitting?

Your most talented people seem checked out, frustrated by the inertia, or are quietly heading for the exits because their voices aren't truly heard.

03

Innovation Stalled by 'Analysis Paralysis'?

Leaders keep asking for more data, more reports, but seem to avoid the crucial, candid dialogues needed to make bold decisions and move forward.

04

Innovation Stifled by Fear

Are crucial insights and bold ideas being withheld because people don't feel safe enough to speak up or challenge the status quo?

05

'Change Initiatives' Fizzle Out?

Despite efforts to spark improvement, outdated habits and a deep-seated fear of speaking honestly sabotage any real traction and cultural momentum.

This isn't a leadership failure

It's a cultural one, rooted in a system where genuine, safe communication has broken down. But this system can be intentionally rebuilt.

Growth Doesn’t Start with More Talking—It Starts with Safer Conversations.

Imagine an organization where challenging discussions lead to breakthroughs, not breakdowns. Where your best talent is fully engaged because they feel safe to contribute their honest insights. Where momentum isn't forced, but flows naturally from a culture of profound trust and open dialogue.

This isn't about another round of generic communication training. It's about fundamentally shifting the conditions for interaction by building deep psychological safety and equipping your teams to master the tough conversations that unlock real change.

For over 25 years, working with diverse teams under immense pressure – from military operations and government bodies to corporate boardrooms – I’ve seen how cultures of silence can quietly cripple even the most capable organizations.

I used to think more training was the answer. But I've learned that true transformation in established enterprises doesn't come from top-down mandates or generic skill-building alone. It comes from fostering an environment where every individual feels safe enough to speak the truth and engage in the crucial conversations that drive progress.

My work combines decades of behavioral science expertise with a deep understanding of human dynamics to help you unlock the conversations that actually change how your team feels, thinks, and performs.

Brian has the utmost integrity and it shows through his commitment and actions. Brian and his young family spent a good deal of time in the field in Uganda proving out Dr. Foster's work with an Orthomolecular formula on HIV-AIDS patients. I am impressed with Brian's quiet and thoughtful commitment to causes far greater than himself.

Brian is one of the most influential professors at Royal Roads University. His teaching style invokes emotion and challenges students to truly step outside their comfort zone to where the ‘real’ learning begins. In a highly competitive business environment, Brian’s techniques will help any individual or organization create the synergy to succeed.

Brian’s leadership courses at Royal Roads University were transformative. His engaging, experiential approach built confidence, broke personal barriers, and inspired growth in every student. By our third course, he had empowered me to shift from learner to leader. Brian remains a trusted mentor whose impact extends far beyond the classroom.” Brian continues to be a valuable mentor, and I look forward to our future discussions.

Brian brings real-world business insight into every learning experience. His course on effective communication was the most impactful of my university years—shaping my understanding of leadership, empathy, and influence. I’m grateful to have learned from him and hope to collaborate again.

Brian Holmes was one of a few professors that I had at Royal Roads University that has left a lasting and dramatic impact on my academic, professional, and personal development. He conveyed in the classroom that in order for leading businesses to maintain success in the 21st Century they must become learning organizations. There are few people I have met that have Brian's ability to understand group dynamics, and organizational behaviour. This ability to diagnose situations and thus, understand situational needs, allows him to leverage learning opportunities for those around him. He facilitates situations, whether individually or in a group, in a remarkable way where core issues can be constructively addressed. I can't imagine a better role for him in business than in organizational development, change management, or coaching.

Above all else, Brian has impressed upon me the importance of continually developing emotional intelligence in business and, of course, in life.

Brian was my professor of Leadership while I was at Royal Roads University (RRU). Brian brought an innovative and unique teaching style and perspective to the class room that made you thin outside the box and challenge the norm. I attribute Brian's class to setting me on the right path to achieve success during my time at RRU.

Brian has a unique skill-set that encompasses understanding business while also having a in-depth knowledge of people. The knowledge of how people behave, act and think allows Brian to be truly unique in the skills he brought to the class room and skills that I am sure he brings to the business world.

Brian's passion for helping and supporting people shines through in the work he does. He is tireless in his approach to the challenges people face in the day-to-day of business, and is always determined to help the causes he truly believes in. I have had the privilege of working alongside him, and also benefitting from his years of wisdom in support of my own business growth. I am very grateful for his presence in my life.

Brian is an awesome individual. He taught me many things when we worked together. Brian is obviously very intelligent, but the thing that sets him apart is his people skills. Brian can improve any situation. I'm a better person for having worked with him.
