Moving From a Practice to Coaching
Brett hails from New Jersey, USA and is yet another addition to our ever-growing international cohort of Tricres Partners. Joining us in August 2021, Brett thought Tricres was a perfect fit for his empathetic personality and perspective. He graduated from Physiotherapy College in 2000 and proceeded to work with a large corporation for several years. However, disillusionment ensued when the preferred ethos was to provide 'adequate' care and not optimal care for patients. With that realisation, it kickstarted the process of starting his own physiotherapy practice with some partners. Having finished that entrepreneurial journey after 13 years with a practice partner who is his best friend the choice was made to pursue what would eventually become a coaching role.
Key Skills
He specializes in working with healthcare and financial professionals who are navigating the challenges of leadership, team development, and business improvement. His coaching combines business rigor with emotional intelligence, helping leaders improve communication, increase team accountability, and create cultures that retain top talent. What sets him apart is his ability to connect. Grounded in empathy, deep listening, and practical strategy, his approach resonates with both analytical thinkers and relationship-driven professionals. Clients often describe Brett as “the person who gets what we’re going through—and knows how to help us move forward.”
Family is the cornerstone of his life, and after 20+ years of marriage and raising three children, he brings a strong sense of balance, values, and grounded perspective to his work. Brett's commitment to authenticity, autonomy, and personal growth shines through in every client interaction.
Outside of Coaching...
Outside of coaching, he is an avid reader, weekend carpenter, passionate golfer, and traveller—interests that keep him curious, grounded, and continually learning. Whether he's guiding a senior advisor through leadership transitions or helping a newly formed team align around shared goals, his mission remains the same: to empower professionals to lead with clarity, connection, and impact.
Something you might not know about Brett?
He is an avid and dedicated pursuer of DIY projects around the home. He is equally, if not more, passionate about coaching his kid's sports teams which include softball, basketball, and lacrosse.
Testimonials
Tricres was the exact fit for me when I was searching for a way to improve my coaching skills and also be a part of a larger dream team. The instruction has been exceedingly brilliant in tearing down misconceptions, opening perspectives, and absolute paradigm shifts for me personally. I've been doing continuing education for 20+ years and I've never encountered a more wonderfully constructed platform and group of experts in one place. I know I'm gushing about this group but I'm truly humbled to be a part of something so unique but at the same time accessible. The most exciting part for me is that this is just the beginning of an amazing journey!
