Brett Miles

Brett helps people learn how to get buy-in, how to gain agreement, with people so that they can move the action forward, get results, and achieve their goals. In his 35 years of research, Fortune 500 experience, consulting, and training people, he has found that central to success is the ability to get buy-in. Failure is always associated with the inability to gain agreement with people to act. Here’s the key issue. The vast majority of people do not understand or know how to effectively get buy-in. They don’t know the process, have the skills, or understand the psychological influences impacting their ability to get buy-in. This is why Brett starts with Getting Buy-In™, a program he created, in his personal and leadership development, coaching, organizational culture, and strategic selling work.

Brett is also known for Empowering Leadership™ a program that combines four critical ways of leading with his Getting Buy-In™ model to create a proven leadership mental and emotional roadmap.
