I began my search to find an accomplished, reputable, and faith-based executive search firm
I began my search to find an accomplished, reputable, and faith-based executive search firm Q4 of 20xx after what I believe was direction from the Holy Spirit. At that time, I began to recognize that my purpose with XXXXXXXXXXX was nearing completion and it was time to search for future opportunities that were in better alignment with my professional goals and core values. In January of this year, I spoke with Dante Crowther, who I found to be very interested in my personal journey of self re-discovery in order to effectively plan forward in my career. While I knew he did not have specific expertise in my target industry, his insight and wisdom was relevant in our discussion and helped to confirm my impressions that Browning & Assoc. was the right fit for me. This partnership was the first of its kind for me because and gave new meaning to the years of leadership training that I received that encouraged me to invest in myself. Over my 20+ years as a professional, I have been fortunate to be able to count on one hand the number of times I was required to formally search and interview for a career progression. After a few discussions with Dante in Jan, I decided to review and consider signing a contract for 5 specific reasons: 1) Vision and mission of the organization; 2) Unique blend of organizational purpose and spirituality (Christian Values) 3) Emphasis on agnostic, faith-based mentorship 4) Strong track-record of success (greater than 95%) 5) Client-Driven, Coach Assisted model for career consultation In February, I signed the contract and very much enjoyed the introductory conversation with John. The discussion was authentic and filled with his passion for Browning. I could sense that he was walking in his purpose. We were both comfortable being vulnerable on the call and I knew that I made the right choice. When we ended that call, I found myself feeling a sense of peace that can only come from be rest assured that we are walking in accordance to God’s plan. I reviewed the terms and conditions in great detail and remember wishing that there was a single picture that could bring the words to life as a reflection of the journey ahead. John mentioned a few recommended videos to start, so I placed my attention there from the beginning. Everyone’s journey is unique and that is what makes the great calling of Browning & Associates so vitality important. For me, the emphasis of the videos that spoke to the foundational importance of “the network” took on more meaning as I interpreted this to mean my personal network with the source of my strength and author of my life – God. This may not be the same for every client. However, for me, the more I considered my personal network, the more I dug deeper to reflect on how I came to know them and more importantly what I believe was the purpose for knowing them. I realized that God was the most important common denominator for all Group A, B, and C connections. This was my first ah-ha moment. In March, I was blessed with the assignment of Shelia as Project Manager. Her knowledge and experience was incredible! I recall wishing there was more of a formal hand-off between Dante and Shelia. It was not a big problem. Shelia helped me to understand the process and outlined the path forward with great detail. I was most impressed with Shelia’s professionalism at first because I was very busy at work when this process began. It took me nearly 2 months to complete the Executive Resume Development document. She was flexible and willing to freeze the service just as the contract promised. Her act of kindness and patience motivated me to use family time and vacation time complete the paperwork in April. She also had a health dose of “let’s get on with it”, which was equally as motivating. In May, I began to work with the Resume team. Patrick was impressive and I really liked the way that he took charge of the resume development effort. The Exec Development document did a good job of providing key details and his first draft of the new resume was a 99% solution. My background is diverse, so it only took a 30min call to clarify a few items for completion. In June, I met Emily for personal branding. She was very kind and helped me navigate Linkedln. The 9 documents and list of resources inspired me to get active with networking. In July and August, I began to use the tools that Shelia and Emily had shared with me. There were countless meetings with Group A and B and contacts. It was a mix of networking and interviews that were mapped to the industry targets identified within my interest profile. Shelia was an amazing guide and I found myself writing down so many notes. Thank God for virtual calls because I could reference the notes during my phone calls and didn’t need to rely solely on memory. Currently, I have accepted an offer and am in the process of career transition. I plan to resign from my current position this week and start in my next position in November. I look forward to leveraging the communication handbook and sample letters from Emily. Shelia will be an excellent guide as I launch my new career and establish key milestones for the first 100 days. I am both blessed and grateful for this experience and what I believe will be lifelong connections. Thank you kindly, -Traviss

How often a seasoned executive can ultimately find the rightly needed advisor and the coach

How often a seasoned executive can ultimately find the rightly needed advisor and the coach who can be trusted to take you through the journey of catching the light of hope and confidence towards the future?
Prior to COVID19, incremental growth in new areas presented by career challenges/opportunities would have been practically possible through reaching out to co-leaders, former colleagues, books or online refreshers. That has been great and I would continue enjoying to connect with many of my “mentors” who made themselves available to listen, recommend, suggest, and advise.
During, and Post COVID19, I got the sense that more than the traditional approach would be necessary to meet the many goals I set for myself and there were many of them with no shortage of objectives. They were all feeding into the need for a change in my approach of self-development.
I had the clarity about the credentials I was looking for, and truly I was not sure if I would be able to find these credentials collectively in ideally a single individual. I did not mind working with several individuals, yet for effectiveness of the value I was looking for; I believe one on one continuum was imperative. So, here are what I was looking for in my advisor/coach/mentor…
– a genuine and distinguished leader in the area of executive leadership development,
– create engaging, encouraging, and empowering ecosystem to study weekly applications of the breakthrough program material that I receive, so that leaves no open loops by delivering the timely feedback with impact to build me up,
– solid discipline of listening to attain multidimension information that feeds into the core strategy in transforming my leadership from good to great,
– passion to show sincere interest in the person (me), and keep my title or my experience in the background,
– believe in the impossible, and drive the plans that realize it,
– must make the flow of the conversations and interactions transparent to allow honest and healthy dialogue and communication to flourish,
– aggregate the facts from my past and upcoming challenges, to create the image of the future that can expand to reflect potential life circumstances and the great achievements that awaits me,
My quest led me to Eugene, whom I find blessed with the unique ways of exceedingly satisfying more than what I was looking for. The six-month time Eugene and I ventured on his genuine executive leadership program was remote, he did not hesitate to put in his “sweat and blood”, and to get me to do the same to intake the counter-cultural mindset in capturing moments of opportunities practically anytime. Eugene built the relationship I thought it could be difficult to be as friendly as we have it today. I am blessed to know and now have Eugene as a dear friend/brother/advisor/coach/mentor to continue my journey with him of becoming the seasoned leader known for having a great heart for people.

My Browning experience was transformational in both my career exploration and my self discovery process.
My Browning experience was transformational in both my career exploration and my self discovery process. Not only were the resume and branding documents top notch, the career and interview coaching shifted my thinking and greatly improved my confidence. Over the course of several weeks, I was able to develop a clearer vision of my strengths and what I was looking for in my ideal next career move. John and his team were fully invested in my success and showed unwavering commitment every step of the way. They pushed me to look holistically and deeply at the outcomes I wanted to achieve. Even when I got discouraged with my job search, Melissa B and Dante C were steadfast cheerleaders who always offered a variety of tools and strategies to keep me moving forward.
I highly recommend Browning Associates to anyone who is looking for a personalized and results focused approach to career transitions. Overall a wonderful and wildly successful partnership!

I worked closely with Jerry. Jerry is an outstanding career development partner. He always takes the time to understand what your needs are and how to best execute to be successful!, During my most recent career transition, he helped me build my network by offering a plethora of techniques I hadn’t previously thought of. He also offered great advice during the interview processes. His perspective was always spot-on and has resulted in my latest executive job offer!
They are the most sincere and honest group of individuals I have ever met and consider a Jerry a friend for life. I would not hesitate to use Browning, and better yet, I would not hesitate!
