Who Brian works with
Brian works with people who know information is not the problem. They need to change the pattern underneath the decision, the reaction, the procrastination, the fear, or the business bottleneck.
- Entrepreneurs and business owners whose biggest bottleneck is a pattern in the operator, not a missing strategy.
- Professionals and leaders who want better decisions, boundaries, communication, and conflict repair under pressure.
- High performers who consume plenty of personal development content but keep repeating the same loop.
- People preparing themselves and their businesses for AI — who know the tools only compound what the operator already is.
How the method works
126 Coaching offers remote coaching sessions for clients across the United States. The method combines NLP coaching, hypnosis-informed mindset work, emotional intelligence development, PatternPrint, the EQ Growth Profile, AI readiness coaching, and hands-on systems thinking — diagnose the pattern, rewire the response, build the system, compound the change.
Why assessments come first
You cannot rewire what you cannot see
Most coaching starts with opinions. This practice starts with a map: PatternPrint shows the patterns shaping how you think, feel, connect, and work; the EQ Growth Profile shows how you actually operate under pressure.
The report is the map. The debrief turns it into a plan.
Both assessments are free and private. If you want help interpreting your results, you can book a free debrief and we'll identify the one pattern most worth changing first. No pressure either way.
Coaching boundaries
Coaching at 126 Coaching is forward-focused personal and professional development. It is not therapy, counseling, or medical care, and Brian does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. The assessments are self-reflection tools, not clinical instruments. If clinical care is what you need, a licensed clinician is the right next step — and Brian will say that directly when it applies.
Talk it through first.
One conversation to clarify what you want, name the pattern or bottleneck underneath it, and choose the right starting point — coaching, a breakthrough session, or one of the free assessments.

- 20 minutes. No pitch, no pressure.
- We clarify what you want and identify the pattern or bottleneck most worth working on first.
