Chapter Leadership

President - Brady Ross

Brady lives in Edmond, OK with his wife and two young children. He is wrapping up his coach training with Coach Approach Ministries, an ICF-approved coach training program that has trained thousands of professional coaches since 2005. He holds a Certified Christian Leadership Coaching credential and expects to complete his Executive Christian Coaching credential by June 2023.

After spending the first five years of his career in church leadership, Brady felt a call to pursue coaching in 2020. He enjoys helping people unlock new and deeper sources of motivation to pursue the goals that matter most to them. He is also passionate about helping people win at work without sacrificing their overall well-being.

Brady is the author of “Seven Steps to Dominate Your Day and Crush Your Goals” and the host of the “Motivation for Regular People” podcast. He contracts with Lingo Live as one of their leadership coaches and works as a freelance writer when he isn’t coaching.

Brady’s excited to be on the AR/OK chapter board, and he’s looking forward to co-creating opportunities for members to learn and connect. Reach out to Brady here.
