He is more interested in results than appearances and I can recommend him without reservation."

- Ken Honneycutt

"Brian was my career coach for the latter part of 2008. In this time, Brian clearly leveraged his extensive experience, insight and unique style to help me re-focus my energies towards a new personal and career mission. In our discussions, Brian was able to quickly get to the core, and guide me to the answers within that, now, seem to make so much sense, that were there all along, but previously seemed to be beyond reach.

I am very pleased to take this opportunity to recommend Brian, and I look forward to further opportunities to work with him again."

- Peter van der Reyden

Dispersive Networks

"I was referred to Brian during the most challenging transition of my twenty one year career as an expert in the field of Recruiting. My mentor and trusted advisor of twenty years had unexpectedly died of a sudden illness. I was a victim of a corporate acquisition where the Sr. Management team was ousted and my role was dramatically changed. For the first time in my life, I lost my job and I was 57 years old. Brian immediately established a rapport of trust that was extended with respect, dignity and kindness.

I am extremely cautious and selective with whom I accept advice and guidance. Brian earned my respect and trust. His probing questions were sometimes painful and consistently insightful. His uncanny insight and intuition were framed with reality, wisdom and gentle yet firm guidance through the raging waves of uncertainty. He clearly understood my distress, offered tangible and alternative solutions to my challenges while walking with me through an uncharted path. He guided and coached me with unprecedented confidence in my ability. The result has been radically effective in renewing my passion and desire to sustain the use of my skills in making a final contribution to society during my career's fourth season. His fearless courage and determination has given me the inspiration to "carry on!" Thank you, Brian Cork for making a significant difference in my life!"

Deborah Byrnes 

“Brian has his own unique style and process that forces you to prioritize the things that are important to you in both life and work. From this process a foundation is created that allows you to make career decisions that become void of emotion but are mission critical to your successful future as a business leader. I would highly recommend Brian to any executive going through a career transition.”

Tom Fetters, Sales Director

Success Metrics, Inc. 

"Thanks for your help coaching my husband.  He's returned to being the person I fell in love with 11 years ago.  He's got the swagger, confidence and passion for life back.  He's now taking better care of himself (and, has lost 11 pounds with 15 to go). I know by the end of the year, career-wise, everything will have come together for him.  You are a Rock Star Cork".

Christine Wall

“Brian has the unique ability to see through the clutter to get right at the issue or opportunity. In so doing, I acquired a clear sense for what steps I needed to take to accomplish my goal. I did and the results were outstanding.” 

Pete Canalichio

Director, Rubbermaid External Business Development
Newell Rubbermaid Corporation

“Brian guided me through a process for me to discover what I really wanted with my career that probably was very obvious to him from the beginning, but I had to realize myself and not be told. His patience and persistence enabled this process to unfold as it needed for it to be successful. He also truly had my best interests at heart, pushing me towards the best opportunity for me, that was not the profitable option for his own business interests, which speaks highly to me of his integrity.”
Michael Hartman
Manager, Advisory Services
PricewaterhouseCoopers
