From the very beginning, our mission has been to walk alongside our clients with integrity, transparency, and a deep commitment to their success. We dont take it lightly when individuals like you recognize the heart behind our work. Its what keeps us striving to do better every single day.


    Your mention of ***** ********** especially means a lot. ***** embodies the values we hold dear: professionalism, honesty, and an unwavering dedication to the people we serve. He, like the rest of our team, sees every client as a person, not just a project. Our teams commitment is rooted not only in industry expertise but in genuine care for each individuals journey believing that success is as much about character as it is about results.

    Nice people, but this system is trash. Looks great on paper, *** **** *** * *****. All religion infused, praying is apart of the search process. If you don't mind asking people for contacts 10 minutes into a conversation with a stranger, than go for it.

    Date: 05/20/2025

    Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We recognize that this feedback comes from an engagement that ended more than five years ago, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond with sincerity and respect.


    While your contract expired over four years ago, our relationship with youand with every clientis never truly expired.  Because of our deep commitment to our clients, modeled by the Author and Creator Himself, we want to emphasize that you are always welcome back with open arms.


    Our process is not for everyoneits bold, faith-driven, and rooted in meaningful relationship-building. Prayer is a part of our process not as a religious requirement, but as a sincere invitation to align with purpose and seek wisdom. For those open to that approach, it can be transformative. For others, we respect that it may not resonate.


    That said, wed be remiss not to mention that at least 45 others right here on this platform alone have shared a very different experience. And hundreds more have offered their stories at ********************************************, where their words reflect the results and relationships that have come through this unique and heart-centered journey.

    If youre ever open to a fresh start, wed love the chance to serve you againwith humility, gratitude, and open arms. Please dont hesitate to contact us. We will start from square one at NO additional cost or occurrence.


    Warmly,
    The Team at Browning Associates

    Interesting. You have been trying to block my comments for the past 4 years, and now I get through, with you most recently reporting to the BBB that "you didn't know who I was" and that I shouldn't be allowed to comment. The BBB gets my proof with your contract and you send this nice PR letter in response. What you SHOULD do is refund the money for a service that never worked. For folks that are savvy enough, you can get most of your materials on your website, including the recording on how to do your method by **** RECORDED IN HIS CAR WHILE DRIVING! I'll give you that you have great SEO placement, but other than that, your service is a fraud. I would be happy to elaborate further, but knowing how you operate, you won't. Steer clear, folks. It's now my mission to share with people my experience.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We genuinely regret that you feel your experience did not meet expectations, and we welcome the opportunity to engage with you directly.


    To clarify, the initial response to the Better Business Bureau inquiry was based on the information we had available at the time. After five years without any contact from you and a first glance yielding no immediate record, we erred on the side of caution and responded accordingly.

    Upon further review, we were able to confirm your past engagement, and we sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused.


    Please know and we cannot emphasize this enough that we care deeply about the experiences of every individual who entrusts us with their career journey. It is precisely why we have made multiple attempts to reach you, and we invite you once again to contact us directly at ************.

    We are committed to resolving outstanding concerns in a professional, fair, and constructive manner.

    Since your initial work with us, Browning Associates has had the honor of helping nearly ***** executives across industries and geographies successfully advance their careers. We have refined our methodologies, expanded our team of consultants, and continued to evolve based on feedback both positive and critical because we believe that integrity demands constant improvement.


    Regarding your comments about the resources provided, our firm has always believed in delivering content that is practical, accessible, and personal. Some of our clients have even found the informal and candid nature of our founder's early audio recordings refreshing, appreciating the genuine approach over a scripted presentation.

    Nevertheless, we are proud to say that we now offer a comprehensive, professional suite of executive development materials and one-on-one personalized services that are second to none in the industry.

    We appreciate honest feedback it challenges us to stay sharp, compassionate, and committed to excellence. However, we also believe in fairness. A complete view of our work includes the thousands of satisfied executives who have seen tangible outcomes from their partnership with us, many of whom have risen to C-level roles, board appointments, and beyond.

    If you are willing, we would be grateful to hear from you directly so we can discuss a resolution and ensure your voice is fully heard. Our lines are open, and our leadership team is prepared to personally review your concerns.

    Thank you again for sharing your perspective. We wish you success and fulfillment in all your future endeavors.


    Sincerely,

    Browning has been part of my network and my life since m 2020. I went through 2 different moments when I was seeking for a new job opportunity, they are really good at shaping your online presence and preparing you to present yourself the best. And there is the network. Over these almost five years I have received and helped some others with the networking opportunities. Something to notice is that even though I already had new jobs they always stayed in touch. They do a yearly touch base to see how things are going. Overall I would recommend Browning to any executive looking for the next thing, as I have in the past to other people and heard the same comments from them.

    As a +20 year executive at the world's largest athletic footwear and apparel company, considered to be an ********** caliber career by many, I found myself looking to transition into a new career. With limited knowledge of the job search ins / outs I began the process by finding the best executive search firm money could buy. Brownings staff went to work by developing an arsenal of materials to launch a world class marketing campaign. This set of tools provided by Browning, included my resume, an executive profile, a linkedin profile, a coach and other tools and templates to streamline the search process. They helped me prepare my search, introduced me to an entirely new network of executives and decision makers and define the next phase of my professional career. My coach was out of this world and not only landed me professionally but opened doors of opportunity, help me reset my life perspective and set me on a path I would have never imagined. My coach, and the Browning staff, provide me far more than my next job. They helped deepen my faith and launch the next chapter in my life. I will never be able to repay my coach, ***, or Browning for where I have landed and the doors they opened for me are unimaginable. For the rest of my life I will always make myself available to help and serve Browning in any way I can. I leave the reader of this review with this; For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. ~ Philippians 2:13 NIV. I sincerely believe God was working within my coach and though Browning to chart my path to fulfill his good purpose. Thank you ****, *** and the Browning Staff for all that you do and have done for me. I will always be at your service as we are all called toward our destiny defined by our Lord and Savior.

And you allowed that transformation to take root, not just in your career but in your spirit. Were incredibly grateful that our paths crossed in such a meaningful way.


    To hear that this process deepened your faith and helped you realign with your purposethis is our why. And to know that ***, myself, and the team were vessels of Gods grace in your life fills us with profound joy. Youve inspired us, encouraged us, and reminded us that when we allow God to order our steps, the unimaginable becomes reality.


    We receive your offer of ongoing support with gratitude and warmth. The door here is always openand youll always be part of the Browning family. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your story, and for pointing us all back to the Source of every good and perfect gift.


    Philippians 2:13, as you shared, captures it all: "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." May His purpose in you continue to unfold beyond anything you could ask or imagine.


    With deepest thanks and blessings,

    Today's job market is not the same as it was 10, 20, 30 years ago, esp. if you are a senior level person. Like others, I have transitioned several times in my career, some because of RIFs, some because it was time to move on, but I always had my next position (usually more senior) in a very short time (always before the severance or vacation time was exhausted. Thus, I was expecting the same when I was let go from my prior company. After 5 months of working my network and having some success, I decided to get some help with Browning. They, especially my project manager, *****, were tremendous. They turned a potential devasting 14 months and early retirement (which I was not ready for) into a very positive and effective period of my life. Their coaching in all areas, their job AND emotional support, their network and tweaking my ability to work mine, and their ability to listen when needed were tremendous. While my new job came through my network, I cannot emphasize the positive impact and help that they were during the process. My thanks to them, and again, especially *****!

    I know myself very well: my strengths, areas for improvement, what motivates me, what distracts me, my hobbies, etc. I am also experienced enough to understand that surrounding myself with people who possess skills I lack can significantly enhance my personal and professional *********** in point: I lost my high-paying executive job due to the pandemic. I felt confident that I would land on my feet within a few months because of my previous position and title at a well-known global company. However, by the fourth month, my confidence waned as concern set in; the only feedback I was receiving was, 'You're overqualified.' Still, I was determined...By the sixth month, I had to dip into our savings account to sustain our family. I was losing sleep, I could feel my blood pressure rising, and the 'no-hiring' holiday season was just around the ********* tolerant and supportive wife suggested that I contact, '...one of those companies that helps you get a job.'That's all it took. I was not defeated. Rather, I needed to surround myself with people skilled in business coaching, rsum writing, networking, interview preparation, confidence building (yes, I needed it!), and strategies for staying relevant despite having a gap in my rsum. In other words, I needed to surround myself with people who possessed skills I did not.Let me reiterate one of these skills: networking. I was introduced to like-minded individuals as well as polar opposites, and I gleaned something from everyone! Many of them introduced me to others who wanted to meet me, and the connections kept growing. I reciprocated as well.Bottom line: the sum was much greater than the parts. ***** *. and his team coached me through every step of the process, introduced me to amazing people whom I now call friends, and most importantly, all of these efforts culminated in a fantastic job offer at a great company. I even negotiated a higher salary thanks to my coaching!Thank you, Browning Associates!

Her professionalism is unmatched: her high level of advising and branding expertise made me feel seen and taken care of, her negotiating acumen and experience helped inform and create an employment contract that fit my needs, and her network facilitation (connecting me to other executives) has allowed me to strategically grow my network in a meaningful way.

    It's my pleasure to recommend the team at Browning Associates as a key contributor to a career journey. After applying for jobs online, talking with recruiters if they called, and hoping that a new job somehow would materialize, we decided to work with Browning in the spirit of doing something different to achieve something different. What a blessing that decision has been.The whole team is so positive, encouraging, and engaging as they teach you their process and provide you their solutions. My coach was available throughout the process, and he wore many hats - sounding board, thought partner, mock interviewer, networker - and encouraged, supported, and challenged me. He helped me prepare for interviews, celebrate successes, and respond productively to struggles. And he and the team prayed for my well-being. Forever grateful.Through Browning, I learned how to network, how to consistently build my brand, and how to open doors and help others do the same. Through their own network, Browning introduced me to high quality and high character people who now have become friends and colleagues. And through their process, Browning has helped me meet new people and become reacquainted with familiar faces.I look forward to being part of the Browning network in the future and paying forward the opportunity to help others succeed.
