Columnist Joins The Citizen Business Page

CONYERS — The Rockdale Citizen welcomes new columnist Brian Howe to its format for the business page. Howe is the president and owner of ThinkTank Coaching, where he helps business leaders, executives and HR professionals excel in their fields.

In terms of his history, Howe began his career in human resources, where he operated his own consulting firm for over a decade. However, Howe was dissatisfied with the limits of his field and wanted to move into a pro-active and hands-on role with his clients. After much thought, Howe decided to pursue a career in life coaching.

“In HR consulting, I felt like I could tell people what to do, but my role ended there,” Howe said. “In coaching, I am able to help people who have the vision and the commitment create change in their lives that is sustainable. I go through the process with them, and help them set and achieve their goals.”

Howe attended Coach University to gain his business and personal coaching certification. Shortly thereafter, Howe launched his business ThinkTank Coaching and began building a client base comprised of executives, business owners and professionals, both in Georgia and nationwide.

In terms of his services, Howe prides himself on providing his clients with the tools, structure, support, accountability and focus they need to succeed personally and professionally. As a result, his clients are able to set better goals, explore bigger possibilities, overcome barriers, and achieve greater success and satisfaction in their lives.

Other accreditations Howe has earned include certified mediator, and a designation from the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) as a senior professional in human resources (SPHR). This is the highest designation that the SHRM gives to members.

Along with his business, Howe is a writer, a public speaker and conducts workshops across the country for executives, high-potential leaders, business owners and HR professionals. He also gives scholarship to promising individuals interested in his services, but unable to afford his fees.

Howe resides in Conyers with his wife Lynn. They have three daughters.
