The Unlit Leader

Unlock Your Authentic Leadership Potential

Welcome to Unlit Leadership! I’m Brian, also known as The Unlit Leader. With over 26 years as a military warrant officer, I’ve led in high-pressure environments where authentic leadership is crucial. Despite outward success, I grappled with imposter syndrome, which fueled my passion to help other leaders overcome self-doubt.

As a certified executive coach and Everything DiSC Facilitator, I specialize in empowering high-performing professionals to embrace their true potential. Through the Unlit Empowerment program, I offer personalized coaching to help you conquer imposter syndrome—just as I did—and lead authentically with confidence.

I’m a leader, father, husband, and lifelong learner who finds joy in self-discovery and personal growth. Passionate about technology, a fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and a new comic book collector at 40, I believe in continuously exploring new horizons.

At Unlit Leadership, my mission is to help you unlock your authentic leadership potential. Together, we’ll inspire authenticity, enhance emotional intelligence, foster effective communication, and align your personal values with achievable goals.
