Brian Peterson

Brian is naturally "wired" to be a problem solver, always asking himself: Is there a better way? More often than not, the answer is yes. However, as a self-described recovering perfectionist, his greatest challenge lies in deciding when a project is truly complete or if it still needs further refinement. Brian is constantly learning and growing to become the best version of himself—and he’s passionate about helping others do the same.

A lover of impactful quotes, Brian finds inspiration in Karen Quinones Miller’s words: “When someone tells me ‘No,’ it doesn’t mean that I can’t do it. It simply means that I can’t do it with them.” This mindset of resilience and a drive for personal and professional growth motivated Brian to transition from a successful engineering career into a calling that aligns with his passion for empowering others. He has since invested in himself to earn certifications in the following areas:

  • Leadership Coach (Maxwell Leadership): Inspired by Mark Cole’s belief that “Everyone deserves to be led well,” Brian is committed to helping people unlock their leadership potential.

  • DISC Consultant (Maxwell Leadership): By understanding the connection between personality and behavior, Brian helps others recognize their “wiring” and make better predictions about behavior, fostering stronger relationships and teamwork.

  • Financial Coach (Dave Ramsey FCMT): Brian embraces the mindset that being rich is about more than money—it’s about having a vision, creating a plan, and enjoying life along the way.

  • Spiritual Coach (GPS – God, Personal, Social): Brian guides individuals in deepening their awareness of the three critical relationships in their spiritual life: with God, with themselves, and with others.

Brian believes that everyone has untapped potential, but realizing it often means stepping outside the safety of their comfort zone. His mission is to add value to others by helping them become the best versions of themselves while embracing and enjoying the journey of growth.

I believe that the secret of your success is determined by your daily routine. If you make a few key decisions and then manage them well, you will succeed.

More About Brian!

Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, with the majority of Brian's life spent in Lincoln, he embarked on his career as an engineer. For over 33 years, Brian served as a rubber chemist, finding solace behind a computer, yet sensing a lack of genuine meaning. Seeking more purpose, he took on the role of a lay pastor for approximately 11 years. This endeavor not only allowed him to deepen and share his faith but, more importantly, to cultivate a profound appreciation for people.

​Brian's dual career as an engineer and pastor brought numerous growth opportunities and promotions. In 2015, he became a part of Maxwell Leadership. In his professional journey, he identified a gap in authentic leadership skills. Leadership, centered on people rather than mere processes, stood out as the missing link. While both management and leadership are crucial, it's leadership that not only breeds success but often elevates it to a level of significance. As an introvert at heart, Brian's passion for personal growth might just convince you that he's an extrovert at heart!

Outside of his professional pursuits, Brian cherishes moments with his wife, Kris, and their family - whether camping, sailing, enjoiying Nebraska Volleyball, movies, or simply relishing time in their favorite space - the back porch.
