“Since 1995, the Brantas toolset has given me the awareness to understand myself and the
effect I have on those around me. Equally important, it has significantly improved my
awareness and understanding of others. I use the toolset to help steer my activities and I
rely on it to give insight that allows me to see possible solutions I may otherwise
overlook.
I specifically use Brantas in the hiring process, as a tool to facilitate discussions with
members of my team and as a team building platform.
Brantas has improved my working relationships and thus the output of my team and the company.”
Chuck Phillips, President, Armtec Infrastructure Income Fund

“Brantas has and continues to be an important tool at Canada Bread Fresh Bakery.
Participants are easily engaged in the process of understanding their preferred
styles, but more importantly understanding the styles of others. Brantas provides
easy to navigate online assistance to do this, augmented by the Daily Insight
email that always finds a way to make participants think a little bit about
themselves and the impact they have on others. I have found that the more we
understand one another, and in particular, the more we understand ourselves –
either in normal times or under stress – the better our performance becomes
individually and as a team. The Brantas group has provided us this easy, rich
in content and robust process to help us along the way. I do believe it has made
a difference!”

“I have been a dedicated user and strong proponent for many years of
the Brantas tools in a senior executive capacity across three major
organizations in the Canadian financial services marketplace. Primarily, I have
been interested in the essential nature of team building and leadership
development and I have been singularly impressed with the very practical ways
in which the Brantas approach provides direct insight and pragmatic solutions.
The tools are an invaluable resource towards the establishment of individual
team member’s self awareness by creating a sharp focus on personal preferences
and styles and the resultant impacts these preferences can have on team
relationships. Brantas has been extremely helpful in all phases of talent
acquisition, talent retention, succession planning and, on many occasions, in
providing methodologies to identify and manage stress through periods of
significant change.”

“I was a little skeptical at first that an “online coach” could really assist me.
I feel that I am quite competent in most areas but, like everyone, I was aware that
I had a few areas where I could improve. After some reflection, I decided to give
the Brantas product a try.
Brantas has provided me with Daily Insights for over a year and they are sent
automatically to my email inbox. Brantas is the first thing that I read every day.
The insights are based on my personality profile and these personalized “lessons”
have been my expert coach. Brantas knows me because I tell Brantas who I am and how
I behave both through initial inputs to the system and continuous feedback as my
personal performance increases. As a professional engineer, I would compare Brantas
to a fuzzy logic feedback system that can mentor any leader based on their input to
this system. Reading the insights and the interaction on the Brantas website are
easily integrated into my daily routine. Although it only takes only a few minutes
every day, the insights stick with me far longer and act as a trigger to alter my
behavior when I’m not getting the results I want—it’s just like having an executive
coach by my side.
I take great comfort in Brantas knowing that I am being “virtually” coached by a
product that is valid, reliable and supported by the professionals at Brantas. I
would recommend Brantas to any leader who wants to change and improve their
effectiveness.”

“I have worked with the people of Brantas and utilized the Brantas system for fifteen years in four separate
companies. I have applied the tools in various situations including a turnaround, a start up venture and when we
needed a profit improvement.
In all cases, the Brantas system was and is, today, one important element in the foundation of changing the
culture of each organization. The toolset enabled members of the leadership team to better understand themselves and
come together as an effective team with expanded understanding of, and empathy for, their colleagues. These
enlightened teams create the culture change which enables growth, increased profitability and an aligned
strategic direction.
As an integral part of an overall organizational approach, Brantas continues to contribute to profitability
and I continue to utilize Brantas in my role as a leader, manager and change agent.”
Bob Dryburgh, President and Chief Executive Officer, Strongco

“The Brantas tools and processes are some of the best I’ve used to determine and understand individual and team
preferences and operating styles. I have used this information to increase team effectiveness, as a hiring
tool for prospective senior level hires, to augment performance management programs and to improve one on
one interactions between employees. This process has helped to make teams more cohesive, provided an
important foundation for short and long term planning processes as well as enabling an understanding
of and appreciation for interpersonal similarities and differences.
I particularly enjoy the ‘daily insights’ which are emailed to me each day from Brantas- information taken
from my personal profile, offering insightful, informative and often enlightening tips.”
