CLIENT REVIEWS
“I
worked with Baird in a very difficult CEO transition and subsequent company
rebuilding. Baird became and has remained a trusted adviser since. He is a
master at managing difficult personalities. He was admired for his great
results by the management team and the employees. Baird brings the highest
level of professionalism and intellectual integrity to each assignment. He does
not shy away from dealing with difficult situations with the end result of a
good workable solution.”
-- SVP/CFO, Biotechnology
“I have known and worked with Baird for almost 30 years as
intern, partner, client, and consultant. He has become my most trusted adviser
by only practicing in his zones of remarkable expertise whatever the market
pull for phony might be. Baird is the real deal. Baird brings uncommon rigor
and sharply honed insight to his consultation with clients - integrating data,
anticipating challenges, predicting dynamics, and scoping solutions that work.
He collaborates to leverage the high value of human capital assets. All
delivered with a light touch, Baird leaves you thinking that all the tangible
progress was your own doing.
-- Management Consultant
"Baird
is brilliant, engaging and extraordinarily helpful. He has developed practical
and immediately applicable tools to support professional growth and the ability
to make significant progress on stubborn career problems. Clients gain
tremendous insight from working with him as he helps them translate new
understanding into constructive and lasting progress. I give him my highest
recommendation."
-- Physician Leader
“Baird
is a trusted advisor and someone who can see the full personal dynamics of a
situation. He is always able to put things in perspective even in the most
trying circumstances.”
-- CEO, Healthcare
"I
have used Baird in two capacities. He coached a senior executive being
transitioned to a new position. The move could have been viewed as either a
demotion or a new opportunity. Thanks to Baird we retained the employee who is
now thriving. In a second case Baird helped plan and facilitated a strategic
planning retreat with our board. Our organization is now stronger and more
effective thanks to Baird's work with us."
-- Board Chair, Non-Profit
“Baird Brightman has provided outstanding consultation and
executive coaching in particularly complex situations. He has a unique style
which, in my view, is a blend of unflappable integrity and professionalism,
combined with flawless expertise in all he does. Baird has a direct, honest,
sensible, generous and warm demeanor which makes him a pleasure to work with. I
have worked with countless consultants and coaches in many years as an HR
manager. Baird brings the best of the best inasmuch as I have come to trust and
respect him completely. He understands the business objectives and goals, and
centers his focus on results. Also unique to Baird is his willingness to
decline a project when he believes it is best to do so. He advises and coaches
in a non-judgmental and practical way. I count on his counsel to be honest,
sincerely thoughtful, and without the proverbial and typical sales pitch. I
view Baird as a trusted partner with whom I am honored to work.”
-- HR Manager, Manufacturing

for human experience, Baird Brightman provides

daily dealing with the world like no others I've met. He is someone you can
completely trust.”
