Testimonials
"Brad is a brilliant strategic mind that can effectively vision and impart solutions while remaining cognizant of the importance managing and mitigating organizational change."
I recently retained Brad as my Executive Coach. He is definitely an expert in his field! He was my coach and advisor through-out my recent job search. His insight into the search process allowed me to better prepare and present myself as a candidate. He prepared me for each of my interviews which allowed for the best possible outcome. The result was three very desirable job offers within 3 months of the Covid-19 outbreak. Brad's work was not done! He then assisted with the negotiation of all the offers. Once I accepted a position, he prepared me with a process to follow during my first month on the job. This consisted of questions and information on what to expect, what to watch for and what to ask for in guidance. This has made my transition to the new Team more effective and less stressful. I look forward to continuing to work with Brad as my career with my new company continues to develop and grow. Alice Harry, Membership Director at Tower Club - Fort Lauderdale

I first met Brad in 2016. Both of us are seasoned executives who have taken on coaching as a second career. Brad has been at the top of his game from the very beginning. Brad started coaching me in 2017 both in my role as a coach and as a business consultant for the Defense Industry. Brad’s experience as an industry executive makes him unique in the executive coaching world. He has the experience and knowledge to instinctively identify the real issues brought to him by his clients. He is always direct but never condescending or a know-it-all. He is there to help his clients develop their own paths to solutions and opportunities. He deftly identifies issues blocking progress to achieving goals, or making decisions and establishes the type of accountability processes that are best suited to the experienced and inexperienced executive. Without hesitation, I recommend Brad to any executive or business who needs a coach. Brad has the knowledge, skills and abilities to ensure his clients’ success. Kathryn Szymanski, Attorney, Government Contracts Consultant, Certified Executive Coach

He is friendly, direct and a wonderful communicator, and he has a unique way of pushing you past that stuck feeling and moving forward the agenda you want to achieve. He asks in-depth, thoughtful questions to help you get to core matters in order to maximize your potential. He is also a true partner to his clients and holds them accountable to their development plan. Brad has been a game changer for me. Working with him has allowed me to live life fuller and to make bolder business decisions. If you are looking for an experienced executive and business coach that will help you reach your goals customized to you and/or your organization, I highly recommend Brad. Nicole P.

I can't heap enough praise on Brad. After meeting him on a Zoom call, he took me under his wing and presented a unique plan to build a business that I had never considered. He worked with me every step of the way in putting this plan into action, providing keen insight and education that, again, I had never considered. He also followed up and made himself extremely available despite the three-time-zone distance between us. Brad is a wonderful Executive & Business Coach and necessary resource for anyone who is looking to grow their career in new directions. Lee Barnathan, LB Communications
Brad has been my Coach since early in 2016. During this time he has helped me achieve my professional goals, whether they were to land a job, change careers, or achieve business objectives. He often tells me, “I am fully committed to my clients’ success”, which he demonstrated each time we spoke, whether it was weekends, nights, vacations - even during a hurricane! With his coaching, I have succeeded in pivoting from a strong career in Engineering to an even better one in User Experience Design, including landing a dream job in this new field. The path from one career to another, coupled with the search for a new job, is undoubtedly a struggle. During this journey, Brad coached me through shaping my strategy, such as my building my online presence and reaching out to other professionals in my desired field for advice and insights. He was my sounding board during the trials of interviewing and negotiating. He built up my confidence and helped me develop my leadership skills. Brad empowered me to know my worth and guided my negotiations with a prospective employer. Through his coaching, I was able to obtain a total compensation package beyond what I thought was possible. In preparation for starting my new job, he coached me through the initial conversations with the director, my supervisor and peers. With his acumen and persistence, Brad instilled in me the mindset of succeeding though delivering value to the Customer and Company. He drew well on his forty years of leadership and business experience , as well as his experience as an Executive Coach. With Brad’s help, I am thriving at my new company and in my new career. I am pleased to recommend Brad Schupp as an Executive and Business Coach to individuals and companies who hope to achieve the results they desire. Lisa Valentine, UX/UI Designer, Test and Inspection Division of AFL
If you’re looking to grow your business, Brad is the person to do it for you! I have worked closely with Brad for over 25 years and have witnessed his ability to transform an organization through the rigors of strategy development and execution supplemented with process improvements that will increase quality and reduce costs. The key to his success in transforming organizations is his focus on aligning all groups within that organization to the strategy and then setting rigorous standards and goals for all members of the team to meet during it’s execution. He is also a Master Black Belt who will guide your organization in the development and execution of improvement programs that are directly linked to increased margins. You will not find a more disciplined individual with a more rigorous process capable of engaging all levels of the organization and building their commitment to produce increased top and bottom line results. Al Zampiello, Senior Project Manager, Raytheon Company
Brad was introduced to me by my most trusted colleague. His executive coaching style is both highly personalized and truly eye-opening. In terms of personalization, he gets to know his clients – their personality, preferences, history, and aspirations. In terms of being eye-opening, he has a knack for helping people see the forest through the trees and asks challenging questions that cannot always be answered on the spot – yet questions that are key to where the client wants to go. I absolutely recommend him as an Executive Coach to help individuals understand what they are capable of and reach their full potential. Dan Valentine, Esq., P.E., Senior Project Manager and Head of Nuclear QA, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc.
When I started my engineering career in 1983, I had the good fortune to be working for Brad Schupp. In addition to being our boss, Brad was always coaching our team to be better than we thought we could be, and, to achieve more than we thought possible. Although I've always been technically very competent, Brad helped me realize that I needed to develop in ways that were orthogonal to my technical skills, but essential to my professional growth. He helped me improve my critical thinking, applied in different ways, to communication, project planning, career planning, and optimizing professional interactions with co-workers and Customers.
Over the years Brad has helped me develop these skills with a close coaching relationship. He continues to be a very trusted advisor. Brad has the ability to evaluate any business situation, identifying the essential elements needing to be addressed, to maximize the probability of achieving the desired outcome. Through his coaching, he has helped me develop these same skills. This has proven invaluable to me as I have transitioned between individual contributor, consultant, and business owner roles throughout my career. I have been empowered in my professional life to successfully choose and pursue any direction of my choosing. I credit Brad for helping me to have the necessary skills to make that happen. I highly recommend Brad if you have a need to develop and build a team of high performing leaders. Mark Pieper, Applications Engineer at Texas Instruments
