Brian Bogert is a human behavior and performance coach who teaches clients how to leverage self-awareness and intentionality to become the most authentic version of themselves. Brian helps executives, entrepreneurs, athletes, and growth-minded individuals learn this transformative approach that cultivates perspective, motivation, and direction to help them align their life with their true purpose and defy their own expectations. He teaches people not just to accept change, but to embrace pain in order to avoid suffering.

Brian learned the wisdom of resiliency through his own early experiences with pain. When he was just seven years old, his left arm was detached in a vehicle accident. But instead of succumbing to suffering because of the injury, he fully recovered and flourished with a reattached arm thanks to his persistent and proactive focus. He learned early how to move past what happened to him by creating an intentional mindset. Before moving full time to coaching peak performers and public speaking, he and his business partners led the Phoenix location of a global insurance brokerage firm which grew from $250,000 to $15 million in revenue in just a decade. He has earned accolades as a top performer in the Southwest, and was named as one of “40 Under 40” in the Phoenix Business Journal for his innovative and dynamic leadership.
