WE BELIEVE IN
HUMAN CAPITAL

The power of you.

The power of the people who work for you.

This is what drives your business.

This is your team.

It is essential to foster well-being and collaboration. This is the fuel that leads to outstanding
results.

WE BELIEVE IN
ORGANIZATIONAL WISDOM

Planning, strategy, and efficiency determine the bottom line.

It can be easy to get entrenched in the daily grind and lose site of the big picture.

Improving organizational culture by employing the LEAN process in all facets of your business creates present and future success.

WE BELIEVE IN
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Self-aware and empathetic leadership leads to an energetic and loyal workforce.

The average person will spend 81,396 hours of their life at work. The only thing we spend more time doing is sleeping.

TESTIMONIALS

“I just wanted to give my sincere feedback on what a great job Steve has done. The progress we made is outstanding and has exceeded my expectations.

EVP Business Transformation of a $60B global organization
“I was seeking to work with a seasoned professional coach who could elevate me to the next level within my career and professional development through one-on-one coaching sessions. I found such a person with Ana Smith from BrightFlare. Ana's corporate experience combined with her insight and inspiring attitude proved valuable for me as I transitioned to the next phase in my career. The learnings gained through my sessions with Ana enabled me to position myself within a new targeted role.”
Rob CartiaVP
“BrightFlare did a fabulous job in leading us through the learning and planning. It was 1,000% better than our first sessions at the Innovation Center. BrightFlare provides excellent facilitation and behaves as a tutor. I feel that at the end of the day, they will understand our business better than us.”
VP Advanced Product & Technology of a $42B multinational organization
“BrightFlare is the king! Thanks for all of your hard work! We would not have accomplished our great success without your leadership, hard work and dedication! I am glad we have someone like BrightFlare around us.”

“Once again, I want to thank you for the transfer of knowledge and support over the last six months.

I not only gained great knowledge but also a friend. I am confident we will work together again.”
VP Advanced Product & Technologyof a $42B multinational conglomerate
“Overall, our CEO and I are very pleased. It appears that our initial skepticism, followed by discomfort, has now been replaced with enthusiasm. I would like to express to you our sincere appreciation. We have worked very hard every year for incremental gains and have been satisfied achieving our targets. This year, with BrightFlare methodologies and facilitation, we now have what we need for a true breakthrough, if not a tipping point. We could not have done it alone; BrightFlare was the difference.”
