Book Your Free Introductory Call

Ready to get more of what you want from your business? Let’s talk. Book your free introductory call with me to share your business needs and challenges. I’ll share my background and style. No pressure, just a real conversation to see if we’re the right fit.

My Approach

Never "Agree to Disagree"
Let’s be clear, as leaders, we should never settle for 'we’ll agree to disagree.' That isn't leadership. I guide teams through productive conflict to come to the best solution.
Get Better Incrementally
"Perfect is the enemy of good." Mastery doesn't mean perfection. I help teams hone their skills each session so they improve over time. They get better and the business does too.
Shared Fate
The leadership team should have a unified purpose - a common conviction. Just like they have this responsibility to each other, I have a responsibility to them on our journey together.

About

Branden Barkema grew up with a front row seat watching his father build a successful medical imaging equipment sales and services business for more than 30 years. He channeled that experience into a successful career helping other entrepreneurial businesses for nearly two decades. Branden has held several senior leadership roles, and he is highly experienced leading in, and growing businesses up to $100 million in annual revenue.

One highlight of Branden’s journey occurred in 2014 when he became a founding member of a training and development business dedicated to teaching and coaching leaders. That program has impacted more than 1,400 individual leaders, and he credits this experience for his desire to grow servant leaders and help them build thriving organizations.

Branden discovered the power of EOS during his time as COO of a managed services business. This eventually led him to become an EOS Implementer where he now dedicates his time helping entrepreneurs and leaders build better performing businesses and stronger teams.

Branden resides in northwest Saint Johns County, Florida (Jacksonville) with his wife and daughters.

Thriving organizations are built by cohesive, healthy leadership teams. These companies outperform others by aligning their teams and supporting them with good systems. I help you get both.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
