“Rose Haven has used Brad Taylor services over the course of several years. Each time he leaves us wanting more of his sage advice based on his direct experience working with this population. He is a treasure for non-profits like ours navigating the ever-changing environment serving people experiencing homelessness. He is well-planned, approachable, and a great strategic thinker. How fortunate we are to have such expertise in our very own city!”

- Katie O'Brien
Executive Director, Rose Haven

“Brad performed thorough needs analysis and in advance spoke to every level of staff who would have insights. He immersed himself to leverage his expertise precisely the way our learners needed it. His training is different. His style is his own and that is an extremely positive and practical difference. WE loved learning from Brad. Staff indicate after his training they have had greater success interacting with challenging situations in the field.”

“Brad is uniquely skilled at disrupting habitual trains of thought. When it is time to shake up your approach to a challenge, Brad guides the re-framing of a problem. After working with Brad on strategic planning and a two-day retreat, I trust that Brad can take on the dynamics of a work team through conscientious preparation. Even more vital to the success of an event, Brad adapts seamlessly to the energy of a room and remains flexible to an evolving process. Brad anticipates the requirements of your goals in advance, eliminating any barriers to a team showing up and getting down to work. ”
