Our Story

Screenshot 2026-03-16 at 9.04.57 AM.png

Our Start

 

Julie was Rookie of the Year. Tim was a distant second. 

Julie balanced leadership with motherhood.  Tim built a full-time career.

Julie spent 33 years building Brady's Sales Training Program.

Tim spent 23 years at Brady leading a diversity of Sales, Marketing, & Product Development teams.  The next 3 in software for a founder then for a PE, was incredible.  The past 7 have been as "the Collaborative Advisor."

The crowning achievement in our careers was as partners.  We built, launched & institutionalized Brady's "Trusted Advisor" sales methodology that is still used today.  Helping professionals grow through sales training & coaching has introduced us to wonderful people.  Listening instead of talking makes us better humans, not just better leaders.

Our Family

​We raised Connor, Molly & Sydney in Menomonee Falls, WI (metro Milwaukee).  It has been a wonderful community that continues to grow in opportunities & experiences.   We are so grateful, for our neighbors, friends and teachers along the way.  

Our practices are a reflection of our values & beliefs that we hope to extend to a multigenerational practice of serving others. 

We are inspired by the development of people to unlock their potential.    

The Collaborative Advisors, Bearfoot Retreats & the Predictive Index practices are purpose driven work. 

​Our Priorities (in order)

  • Have impact on others

  • Enjoy the people we serve & the work we do

  • Generate income to fund our charities, families & adventures

Mission Statement

Be curious, helpful & add value to improve the lives of those we serve.
