You don’t need MORE change management.
You need a leader who facilitates alignment.
Because it doesn’t matter what kind of organization you’re with or what type of shift you're trying to make – if you can't inspire buy-in, you’ll never get out of the proposal stage.
Think of the all the time, money, and energy you've wasted on:
- Endlessly micromanaging your team
- Ideas and new technologies that fail to launch
- Redundant work and projects constantly in revision
- Mind-numbing meetings discussing the same items week after week
- Backpedaling on decisions after months of planning
- New policies and compliance decisions that fail to go from paper to practice
The harsh reality is, in my 30+ years of corporate and franchise leadership development, consulting, and eLearning deployment and training, I've seen tens of millions of dollars wasted in change management.
Whether it's about a lack of employee education OR a failure to engage, the source of this problem, plain and simple, is misalignment.
The age of command
and control is over
Once upon a time, the person at the top said, "This is what I want. Make it happen, or you're out." That doesn't work anymore. And maybe the only reason it worked in the first place was because there weren't any other options.
But in today's environment, where choice is abundant, and your competition is actively nurturing their organizational alignment and recruiting your employees...
Top-down leadership fails to deliver.
Change is happening. Now is the age of multi-directional leadership, which engages ALL stakeholders, welcomes ALL input, nurtures HONEST communication, and SEEKS alignment.
Now is the age of rock star leaders who transform teams into true fans, propelling transformational decision-making forward.

SUCCESS STORIES
Shannon Beshara
general manager - School Rock calgary
I have worked for Bryan for almost 3 years, and he has helped me grow as a first-time manager significantly. Having his guidance to learn to weigh important decisions, gather all required information, speak plainly but kindly, and confidently work with our team to develop the School Of Rock Calgary community has been invaluable.
He listens and encourages people to come up with solutions to issues, trusting their gut and their expertise. I have definitely grown more confident and sure of my own abilities to listen, learn, and lead, thanks to his help! His encouragement toward a growth mindset has energized me and our team to grow the school and our programs to all-time highs. The energy in the school is exciting, and customers love to be a part of what we have built here. I am so happy to be a part of it myself!
Paula Carvalho
OWNER, SCHOOL OF ROCK - MISSISSAUGA TERRITORY
Bryan travelled from Calgary to train our staff as we prepare to open our School of Rock Streetsville. He sent us pre-training material and shared his school information. He spent two days with us meeting with the team and presenting a clear and organized overview of our teaching method and programs. Bryan enjoyed speaking with our music instructors and he answered their questions in detail. He continues to meet with our managers to provide ongoing support and help. Bryan is a true professional genuinely focused on the success of our team. He is a dynamic, interesting speaker and enthusiastic presenter. I value all I’ve learned with Bryan and the way in which he has continued to follow up. With confidence, I highly recommend his training, coaching and mentoring services.

Bryan worked on my training team at Suncor as a Team Lead. He was responsible for managing Office 2010 trianing roll-out for Fort McMurray which included setting the schedule and training logistics for the area, scheduling the trainers and ensuring that all the arrangements were made. Bryan did a fantastic job managing these requirements and I would definately work with him again, or recommend him for any leadership position that has complex requirements. He not only got it done, but he was a pleasure to work with.

Jim Gignac
FORMER SCHOOL OF ROCK OWNER & CONSULTANT
Bryan and I owned School of Rocks at the same time, he opened Calgary two years after we opened our Arlington Heights, IL location. He reached out to several newer owners to learn more about how to quickly grow a school.
The School of Rock offers a unique experience to the students and instructors alike. The best schools have leaders who not only embrace this difference but are effective at coaching both staff and students through the process. Bryan’s skills of coaching the processes of learning and development created a culture where the whole business excelled. Doubled with his skills in operations and customer service, it is easy to understand why School of Rock Calgary is one of the higher performing of all international schools.
I would recommend Bryan for any engagements that included leadership development, coaching at very high levels, and all aspects of operations! He brings an enhanced perspective acquired during his success at School of Rock.
