Testimonials

Brett’s work with our leadership team at Saint Benedict's to build a missionary culture added great value at a crucial time for the Parish. His wisdom for leaders and encouragement to me personally has been instrumental.

Brett brings an impressive resume of leadership experience and a unique talent for helping leaders and organizations reach their potential. The Church today is facing a leadership crisis. The success of the New Evangelization will be determined largely by the quality of its leadership. Brett has been and will continue to be a great resource for leaders in the Church who want to see their diocese and parishes bear fruit that will last.

Brett has a passion and perhaps more important a charism for teaching leadership. In a particular way he is gifted in developing leaders for the New Evangelization. As General Superior I saw first hand the impact he had on our Companions Priests and his encouragement to me personally has been valuable over the years.

People are losing heart from an increasing distrust of leaders. There are some who still walk a narrow path. These trustworthy souls go the way of the heart, leading others to real life in the midst of meaningful accomplishment. Brett Powell is one of those few, great, trustworthy souls. His mentorship is neither stale nor contrived; it comes from real experience and deep human, spiritual and academic formation. He is a gift to anyone desiring to lead in the spirit of Jesus.

Brett is an articulate and thoughtful speaker, writer, and consultant. I have had the pleasure and benefit of working closely with him and learning from him for many years. Brett always offers interesting and high quality insights into leadership, especially where it matters most.

Brett is a natural leader and gifted teacher. His unique blend of missionary zeal, professional acumen, ministry experience, communication skills and knowledge of leadership are a unique gift to the Church.

Few are experts in leadership and fewer still are experts in the new evangelization. But rarest of all is someone who can speak on both with knowledge, experience, and insight, Brett is among this distinguished group.

Brett has and continues to be one of my most trusted advisors. His ability to guide me through some very complex human relation issues has been such a blessing to me and our organization. Brett has taught me a lot about leadership and I am very thankful for his mentorship and friendship.

I've heard a lot of speakers talk about leadership and Brett is simply one of the best. His content is fresh, clear, accessible, practical and inspiring.

Brett’s writing emanates from his relationship with Jesus, his allegiance to the Church and his instinct for leadership – a winning combination!

Brett is a remarkable communicator. He has a unique way of meeting the people where they are at. He speaks with knowledge, conviction and substantiates his talks with inspired personal stories. He aroused a strong spiritual impulse in me and my parish community. I can listen to him for hours!
