Our Services
We offer a wide range of organizational development services, from remote consultation to on-site, real-time coaching and problem-solving. Mickey works alone or with colleagues brought in for their particular expertise. Our four primary areas of service are:
Coaching for Impact
Every leader needs a sounding board, sparring partner, teacher, confidante, and unwavering ally to help set goals, enhance skills, improve partnerships, and - most of all – develop his/her unique leadership style.
As a certified executive coach, I’ve helped dozens of leaders, teams, and individuals from multiple industries and diverse backgrounds attain greater career success and bottom-line impact. Coaching can help you:
- Gain focus and clarity
- Overcome obstacles
- Build skills
- Increase confidence
- Accelerate results
Starting from the premise that the client is already strong and successful, I work to build on current strengths and lead people to insights and solutions that work for them.
Team Effectiveness
Because a collection of people is not a team, and “team dynamic” can be negative, competitive, and destructive… or collaborative, inspiring, and fun.
Different styles, shifting responsibilities, a changing marketplace, unclear expectations, new members, competing priorities, an ever-changing business world … any team that doesn’t stay on top of the million challenges within and around it loses effectiveness quickly.
Some of the most common areas of focus that clients request include:
- Working through Conflict
- Communicating Effectively
- Aligning Expectations & Needs
- Adopting an Enterprise Mindset
- Leading vs. Managing
- Setting Strategy & Vision
- Team Building
- Assessments (Myers-Briggs, Hogan, Thomas Kilmann Conflict Mode Assessment, Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model, et al)
- Skill Building
Diversity, Equity,& Inclusion
A culture where everyone feels respected, valued, heard, and able to bring their full selves to their work is essential for organizational success. It’s not just the right thing to do for people, it’s the smart thing to do for performance.
For well over two decades, Buster Consulting has been helping organizations create diverse, equitable, and inclusive cultures that allow ALL people to contribute their full range of talents and feel a true sense of belonging and respect.
Sample Topics include:
- Working across Differences
- Implicit Bias
- Allyship in Action
- Collaborative Conflict
- Power and Privilege
- Creating Cultural Safety
- Building Trust
Training & Facilitation
Done with targeted content, constant attention to the needs of the group, a dash of humor, and very, very little PowerPoint, I promise.
Learning, growing, and continuously improving never get old. Buster Consulting training emphasizes immediate and practical application. Participants leave with new mindsets and behaviors, and a workable plan to put them in action, and an eagerness to get started.
Sample Topics include:
- Powerful Communication
- Leveraging Conflict
- Overcoming Resistance
- Agile Leadership
- DEI
- Team Effectiveness
- Listening as a Partner
- Strategy & Vision
The Buster Approach
Keep It Moving
Meet people where they are, but don’t leave them there. We start by understanding your current needs/challenges, and then map a clear, strong strategy to get you to your goals.
Keep It Real
We find the signal amid the noise (the distractions, the dramas) to focus on what’s important and solve real issues at a root-case level. It’s all about impact.
Keep It Human
Whether in person or on-line, addressing one person or 500, we work hard to make it safe, relatable, and engaging. And to let people be people.
But don’t take our word for it...
“I have worked with Mickey for 15+ years, in various roles, because no one is better at getting the best out of teams, growing leaders, and improving cultures. His expertise is a big reason why, but equally important is his genuineness – his caring, energy, and disarming humor allow all kinds of people to quicky trust him and relate to what he is saying. I will always use Mickey to tackle our most challenging issues.”
Jon Gass
“I first experienced Mickey when he co-led a leadership development program at FedEx, where his knowledge and exceptional people skills had a huge impact on participants. Within months of starting my CHRO role, I contacted him to coach several CEOs in our nonprofit organization; he has now coached more than a dozen leaders, with great effect. His focus on practical application, combined with his accessible, warm style really helps leaders get to the next level.”
Jason Hernandez
“Mickey Bradley is a trusted professional with a special talent for facilitating delicate and complex Diversity Equity and Inclusion trainings. Since 2017, I have had the pleasure of inviting him into our programs for courses such as Collaborative Conflict, Communicating Across Differences, Allyship in Action, Power & Privilege in the Workplace, and more. He is a fan favorite among leadership and staff alike which is why I work with him and recommend him again and again.”
Jenna Lehr, SHRM-SCP, SPHR
“Mickey [is] the best facilitator I've had at any training in my life (and I've been at Google 12 years and elsewhere before, so that's saying a lot)! Brilliant at breaking down all the knowledge and research and communicating it in a very interesting and effective way. Even more, [he is] the best I've seen, by far, in creating a space where people can feel safe to be uncomfortable, speak up, make mistakes and GROW.”
