Amanda Henley-Morton
Children and Family Services Director at Lighthouse Behavioral Wellness Centers
Before stepping into a leadership role, I had spent many years building deep experience in my field. But I quickly realized that technical expertise alone hadn’t prepared me for the challenges of formal leadership. Despite my initial excitement, I began to fear I might not succeed in the role I had accepted.
Thankfully, my organization connected me with Brawn for leadership coaching. I knew the journey ahead would involve difficult conversations, and I was hesitant to be fully transparent about my struggles. In those early sessions, I often found myself overwhelmed with emotion—feeling like a failure. Brawn met me with patience and compassion, creating space for me to process my fears and frustrations.
With care and intentionality, he introduced me to new perspectives—how my presence and communication might be perceived, the different dimensions of leadership, and how to build trust and influence. Over two years, I navigated challenging and uncomfortable growth moments with Brawn’s steady guidance.
One of the most transformative lessons he taught me was the value of candid conversations. Though I naturally avoided confrontation, Brawn encouraged me to lean into those moments with courage and clarity. That shift has become a defining part of my leadership.
Today, I’m trusted within my organization to handle sensitive conversations and lead through change with confidence.
While my growth came from a willingness to be vulnerable and open, Brawn knew exactly when to nurture and when to challenge me. I’m deeply grateful for the time I had to learn under his mentorship—and even more excited that members of my own team are now working with him to develop their own leadership journeys.

He is so good to me. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being there for us and helping us navigate through some hard barriers we have had to overcome in order to get where we need to be. I can’t wait to see what we as a team can accomplish. He is the reason I’m a better mom, wife, daughter, friend, leader. He has unique ways to help you understand yourself and help you grow with the natural abilities God has gifted us with. I will forever be thankful for Brawn.

I always left the meetings with Brawn inspired and energized. The discussions helped me clarify some issues I was working through in my personal and professional life. Being a thinking partner with Brawn gave me more clarity on what are the actions I need to take in order to move forward and escape being stuck. The results I was able to obtain would not have been possible without the accountability and the questions that Brawn asked me during our meetings. As the burden lifted up from my mental processes, I was able to enjoy the big changes that I navigated in my personal and professional life.

“In my time of working with Brawn, I have learned the value of applying what I read. I have learned that application and accountability which Brawn provides leads to growth, not just reading a book. I would encourage anyone to have Brawn coach yourself and/or your team in personal growth. It will pay huge dividends!"

I can't speak highly enough of Brawn's coaching and how it has empowered me to get the most out of every aspect of my life, including my career. As the owner of a production company and the face of a successful TV show, life is busy. Very busy. I can easily get caught in the endless cycle of business fire drills and draining deadlines. However, Brawn's coaching helps me break the cycle and gain invaluable perspective so that I can run my business, rather than have my business run me. His coaching helps me attack every day with intention and purpose and has been a catalyst for game-changing growth. I can't recommend him enough

I recently met Brawn through a friend. I have heard his name around town and have been intrigued by his profession. 2 weeks ago he invited me to be apart of a group of men who would be growing through John Maxwell's "The 15 Irrefutable Laws of Growth." It's amazing the growth that can occur with a little intentionality and effort. If you haven't already sought out Brawn to become your Life Coach, I would do it now!
