Our mission is to be a catalyst for change in not only the workplace, but in people. We help leaders understand that any organization or person can undergo a transformation. This can be accomplished through the adoption of a learning mindset, rejection of self-imposed limits and a committed investment in others.
We would like to personally thank all of our clients, colleagues, and friends who have trusted us enough to act on these principles and who value honesty and action more than comfort or the status quo.

What Clients are Saying
“As a Human Resources Specialist, I found Mark to be very engaging and informative. His ability to be relatable to individuals within the construction industry is a valuable asset. I am happy to share the knowledge gained today in the 5 Minute Foreman Webinar with all the Crew Chiefs, Supervisors and other managers within our organization and would highly recommend other construction companies to engage with Mark Breslin strategies to develop great leaders within their organizations.” – HR Manager, Makloc
“It really was amazing. I have never been to one of our seminars/trainings where a group was so engaged with Mark. He truly commands a room. They were never bored. They ALL came away with something. I’m hearing feed back about the guys talking about it on the job sites. That is the true sign of a successful training/seminar! Someone that truly gets them thinking, and talking! I am so impressed, and happy that we did have Mark come in.” – S.A. Comunale Co., Inc.
“The way you put others before yourself, the way you didn’t just talk about yourself, you led differently than what I had experienced before.
Your speech changed the trajectory of my career and life.” – UBC Apprentice
“The buzz this week was so positive and uplifting with regards to his training. Most of the team members had worked a 12 day and to come back to the training center for another 4 hours of classroom times was a lot. I witnessed a whole classroom of engaged, focused and inspired men and women while listening to Mark speak. We look forward to more trainings in the future.” – Anvil Builders
I want to thank you for today’s session. I met you as a union apprentice operator in MI about 17 years ago. It was the Survival of the Fittest seminar. That helped shape my career, and now I am able to utilize your seminars within the ranks of my company. We will be rolling out more of your resources to as many as we can. Thanks again!
Mark’s presentation was fantastic and aligns very well with what we are working toward. I most impressed by the response from the audience (hardened PROFESSIONAL construction workers) with their level of engagement with Mark. They seemed to take it very well and that was the critical factor for me. Very well done and worth the time.
I have been in the trade for 25 years and have always thought that my way was the right way because I always got the job done on time and not taking anyone else’s thoughts or feelings into consideration because they weren’t the ones signing my pay check. Let me say this right now. I was so Wrong! There are better ways to do things and the field leader training helped me professionally and personally in ways I can’t express with words. I believe that it has made me all around a better person and oh by the way, I will always see myself as a leader for the rest of my life. Thanks again for seeing in me what I didn’t see in myself.
I had a number of individuals reach out to me after the event to express how much the day changed their view on leadership and energized them to take greater responsibility for leading at home and work. You did a wonderful job and made a significant impact on the lives of leaders at Mid-Ohio. Thank you!
I just want to start with how thankful I am that I was able to attend the field leader day. The impact so far has been amazing in my day to day activities at work as well as at home. My approach towards my coworkers on the job has changed, and I see improvements on work and have more respect from them. I have less stress because I have stepped back on some task and let them figure it out while I can concentrate on the next step. It has also impacted the actions towards my family and understanding more now that I am the leader of my household and the mentor towards my children and my wife. I feel my family has had a dramatic difference on how they look at me, and it has improved our relationships.
I never would have thought that the field leader day would have this much of an impact on my life. Once again thank you and I look forward to the videos every other week.
The one thing that I have been working on is getting away from being a “wagon wheel” manager. I always thought that the leader was supposed to be the guy everyone went to, but after listening to Mark I realized that I was making my job harder than it needed to be. I have been asking my guys what they think should be done when they bring me a problem, and as Mark said they are right 80% of the time. I know that it working because I am getting fewer calls asking what to do and more calls informing me of what has been done. This is allowing me more time to work on other areas of leadership.
