Testimonials about Brian Bacon
Brian Bacon's Self Managing Leadership® programme
was by far the most powerful and moving course I have ever attended
in my entire professional career. Brian's vision and foresight has
helped me deal with many difficult situations both personally and
professionally
John Mahtani, VP, Warner
Bros
Brian Bacon guided us successfully through an
acquisition and subsequent merger and integration process. Brian
was a great motivator and wise counsellor, able to provide and
clarify even the hardest business and organizational issues in an
understandable and to-the-point fashion that guided us to a
successful outcome. Brian is a truly inspirational person with a
truly positive influence
Arne Nabseth, Managing Director,
Marquardt and Partners AB
I have taken Brian Bacon's course more than once.
It is unlike anything else I have ever done. Bacon's breadth of
experience is enormous - from the battlefield to corporate strategy
to advising governments at the highest levels. He isn't just an
armchair theorist; his unique approach has been proven in the
trenches. While often given to people in leadership roles, the
programme is not about your organization or your role in it - it is
about you the person. Highly recommended for anyone in the midst of
personal organizational turbulence.

Editor Emeritus, Progress magazine, Halifax, NS
Brian Bacon is the most provocative and compelling
thought leader I've met. He has coached me through turbulent times
in my personal and professional life and showed me that true
leadership is found in the "eye of the storm". In his signature
Self Managing Leadership® programme, I've witnessed Brian take
leaders to the depths of their soul on an inward, downward, upward,
outward journey to deepen their awareness of who they really are
and tap their potential. Working with Brian evokes new
presecriptions of how to succeed in business. He causes leaders to
reflect the best of who we really are as human beings and uses the
power of reflective inquiry as a way of life in each and every
relationship. Bringing together the soul of leaders and the soul of
business is Brian's signature strength and calling.

Brian Bacon has a deep wealth of knowledge and
wisdom into the complex transformational challenges facing
organisations and their leaders today. His OLDP course is a very
effective capsule for communicating this. Brian demonstrates by his
own example a higher level of commitment and dedication to his work
than what is commonly found. Over the years he has been a
tremendous source of inspiration to McDonald's throughout the
world.

Brian Bacon, the Strategic Focusing® process and
the OLDP Course provided our leaders with essential tools and
techniques for focusing on the right things and the will power
necessary to tackle the immense challenges this government faced
when assuming office.
Ramón Muñoz, Chief of Staff, Office of
the President, Government of Mexico
Having worked with hundreds of consultants over
the years, I can say unequivocally that Brian Bacon is among the
best in the world. Few can facilitate change so effectively at so
many levels simultaneously-organizational, personal and societal.
The OLDP programme brings all of these together in a pragmatic
platform for deep personal change which makes all other change
possible.
Lenny Lind, President, Co Vision
Technology Systems, USA
Coming from a deep understanding of people and
organizations in many lands, Brian has a very natural, unaffected
style. He builds trust easily through his personal integrity. His
OLDP programme succeeds in getting people to understand and
articulate their vision for the future and linking that to the
mission of the organization. Doing this across an organization
results in an extraordinary competitive edge.
Roy Dingle, Head of Global Strategy,
Computer Sciences Corporation, USA
Brian Bacon works with the top guys in big
business and government and it shows. He has a rare ability to
captivate hard nosed executives whose eyes normally glaze over at
the mention of values. He is an entertaining and gifted speaker and
offers a refreshingly pragmatic yet enlightened approach to
management within government and business.
