With Dr. Ian Brooks

I’m Ian D. Brooks, and I care about people and cherish the relationships built. My career spans 24 years – covering clinical psychology and personal development – with the mission of helping people move incrementally toward sustained achievements.

My early experience in clinical psychology taught me a valuable understanding of how our history and choices influence the direction taken. The power of this experience transitioned to working with organizational leaders and individuals – who are already successful – but want to expand beyond their current boxes.

I invest in – time, money, and energy – and am willing to take risks toward improving my life. I challenge myself to extend beyond my comfort zone to see what’s next. This is not in comparison to others but in comparison to my personal bar.

I earned my PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Marshall Goldsmith School of Management at Alliant International University and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Auburn University at Montgomery.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Morehouse College. I also pursued a National Academy of Sports Medicine certification and a bar-tending license, furthering my development to understand individuals and build connections.

In my free time, I enjoy working out, wine tasting, motorcycles, conducting “mixologies”, attending sporting events, and continuously pushing my personal boundaries. In the end – what’s the worst that can happen?

Ian’s Coaching Style:

My coaching style integrates laughter and dialog. I’m here to reestablish the behavioral foundation of leadership and personal transformations. I have a reputation of asking tough questions that penetrate, where the answers expose the deepest kind of individual conditioning.

My strength is to recognize the potential and talent of other people and offer guidance. I have an inherent ability to understand the challenges you are facing or the growth you are seeking. By reducing the anxiety associated with transforming, I focus on the behaviors and management of emotions that can be transferred to other situations.

I am here to break you of old patterns and acknowledge the templates that have offered safety. Intended to be vulnerable, this awareness offers the groundwork to act and experience the journey of transformation.

About Paul Anthony Claxton:

I am a Honorably discharged U.S. Marine and accomplished Global Serial Entrepreneur. Before my time as a private sector executive, I was a public sector executive in the Marine Corps. During that time, I did 4 tours in Iraq starting with the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.



Transitioning to my time as a corporate executive and entrepreneur, I built several businesses and lived in a few different countries which has allowed me to achieve more of a global, well-rounded perspective. I have served as a venture partner, mentor, board advisor and entrepreneur to a number of different executives and companies, startups and venture capital firms.



Most of my work as an entrepreneur so far has been in the healthcare and manufacturing industries where we focus on technology for good and sustainable impact. Over the years I have consistently spoken about entrepreneurship and

organizational leadership at dozens of events and organizations and to include examples; the International Trade Council and the

Silicon Rotary Club.



HOW I VIEW BUSINESS AND CAPITALISM



Capitalism isn't about making money at its core, that's only a byproduct reward. To me it's about advancement for the greater good and improving people's lives. I'll make a statement on the world by using technology, best business practices and leadership to improve people's lives. Live Long and Prosper. I truly believe capitalism is about capitalizing on opportunities to pay it forward.

SEMPER FI!

Clarene Mitchell is my guest for this episode.



We discuss a few key things that can help bring clarity to those looking to improve their LinkedIn or get started on LinkedIn.:



Are we fully utilizing LinkedIn?

Do we understand LinkedIn best practices?

LinkedIn is not just for job seekers!! LinkedIn is a great platform to organically generate value added leads for entrepreneurs.

Do we understand the process and value of social selling?

Consistently providing value-added content is a great example of the 80/20 rule for social media stresses the importance of providing value over “selling”.



Clarene’s work history includes print journalism, public relations, community outreach and activism. When she initially started TCM Communications, she offered broad public relations consulting.



Clarene quickly zoned in to providing LinkedIn coaching, training and speaking exclusively based on the inquiries she received.



She also saw a gap in there being skilled professionals who exclusively provided the services.



Clarene’s daily use of the platform gives her expertise that goes far beyond what some may just read in a book or gain from a training.



As of January 2021, she created 'The LinkedIn Results Ignitor' as her business moniker. Clarene is very outcomes driven. When clients begin with her, she tells them that the process is all about them getting a return on their investment. She starts out with key LinkedIn data regarding their status on the platform.



Clarene and her clients work as a team to improve the data. As their analytics improve, they start generating results on the platform.
