Ellen has been a tremendous help to our growing 45 million dollar organization. For the past 20 months, she had helped our large 12 member executive team and me define what winning is, revamp our strategic planning process, and organize our steps towards accomplishing our goals. Her style of engagement with the team is both gentle and persistent as we navigate through tough decisions- many times asking hard questions to bring clarity to our thinking. This recommendation comes with 100% support for Ellen’s leadership, consultation, and facilitation style.

If you want to grow your business and align your team around your vision, I would highly recommend engaging Ellen Bryson to lead you through the CEO Advantage process. Through our sessions with Ellen, we were able to hone in on our core values and develop a shared vision, as well as define our areas of focus and assign specific accountabilities to ensure we were all moving forward together. Ellen worked diligently to understand our business and our specific challenges, and with her expertise and experience on our side, we turned those challenges into opportunities that re-energized the whole team. I’ve participated in many coaching and consulting programs throughout the years, and Ellen’s program is simply one of the best. You will see positive results in your business and your team!

After meeting Ellen I was sold, she introduced me to the CEO Advantage process and our two-year journey together began. As a trusted advisor and a facilitator, Ellen lead us through a process that increased accountability, drove results, and enhanced our effectiveness as a team. Whether you need to reposition your company to succeed in a changing business environment, recommit to the course you are already on, or just give your executive team the competitive advantage that comes from everyone being engaged and rowing in the same direction, I believe Ellen Bryson can help you like she helped me.

Super Speed Wash’s relationship with Bryson Trails Consulting has been a breakthrough for our business and one of the biggest reasons for our continued growth and success. Like many businesses, we’ve always worked hard. But also like many businesses, we haven’t always worked smart. Bryson Trails’ has provided us with the resources, discipline, and accountability to focus on our short and long-term goals with clear purpose and communication.

What has impressed me most about Ellen is her passion for what she does. I would recommend Ellen’s services to any organization that wants to increase profitability and develop its leadership team. She is a trusted advisor that will partner with the organization to ensure it is focused and moving in the right direction.

I was introduced to Ellen Bryson and the CEO Advantage program approximately 8 years ago. During my career, I have been exposed to many strategic planning programs, but have found Ellen’s program to be outstanding. Simply, her program creates immediate results but also long-term benefits. It develops very strong communication and focus for the management team but also teaches how to cascade the plans down to everyone within the organization. Ellen is excellent at leading the sessions, explaining the processes necessary for success and following up on the results to keep everyone “on track”. Her leadership style promotes a comfort level that allows individuals to “open up” yet Ellen is excellent at challenging individuals and teams to promote higher achievement within the organization. I highly recommend Ellen!
