Brooks, and I care about people and cherish the relationships built. My career spans 24 years \u2013 covering clinical psychology and personal development \u2013 with the mission of helping people move incrementally toward sustained achievements.<br /><br />My early experience in clinical psychology taught me a valuable understanding of how our history and choices influence the direction taken. The power of this experience transitioned to working with organizational leaders and individuals \u2013 who are already successful \u2013 but want to expand beyond their current boxes.<br /><br />I invest in \u2013 time, money, and energy \u2013 and am willing to take risks toward improving my life. I challenge myself to extend beyond my comfort zone to see what\u2019s next. This is not in comparison to others but in comparison to my personal bar.<br /><br />I earned my PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Marshall Goldsmith School of Management at Alliant International University and a Master\u2019s in Clinical Psychology from Auburn University at Montgomery.<br /><br />I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Morehouse College. I also pursued a National Academy of Sports Medicine certification and a bar-tending license, furthering my development to understand individuals and build connections.<br /><br />In my free time, I enjoy working out, wine tasting, motorcycles, conducting \u201cmixologies\u201d, attending sporting events, and continuously pushing my personal boundaries. In the end \u2013 what\u2019s the worst that can happen?<br /><br />Ian\u2019s Coaching Style:<br /><br />My coaching style integrates laughter and dialog. I\u2019m here to reestablish the behavioral foundation of leadership and personal transformations. I have a reputation of asking tough questions that penetrate, where the answers expose the deepest kind of individual conditioning.<br /><br />My strength is to recognize the potential and talent of other people and offer guidance. I have an inherent ability to understand the challenges you are facing or the growth you are seeking. By reducing the anxiety associated with transforming, I focus on the behaviors and management of emotions that can be transferred to other situations.<br /><br />I am here to break you of old patterns and acknowledge the templates that have offered safety. Intended to be vulnerable, this awareness offers the groundwork to act and experience the journey of transformation.<br /><br />Resources:<br /><br />Contact Ian<br /><br /><a href=\"mailto:E-mailian.brooks@rhodessmith.com\">E-mailian.brooks@rhodessmith.com</a><br /><br />Website<a href=\"http://rhodessmith.com\" rel=\"noopener\">http://rhodessmith.com</a><br /><br />Social Media profiles:<br /><br /><a href=\"https://twitter.com/DrB\" rel=\"noopener\">https://twitter.com/DrB</a>_Intention\u00a0;\u00a0<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/drb_intention\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.instagram.com/drb_intention</a>/\u00a0;\u00a0<a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ian.brooks\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.facebook.com/ian.brooks</a>.501\u00a0;\u00a0<a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-brooks-phd-ms/\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-brooks-phd-ms/</a><br /><br /><br /><br />Contact\u00a0LaQuita\u00a0Monley:<br /><br />If you would like to be a guest on \"LaQuita's Toolbox, please schedule a 15-minute discovery call with me.<br /><br /><a href=\"https://calendly.com/laquitamonley/podcast-pre-booking-call\" rel=\"noopener\">https://calendly.com/laquitamonley/podcast-pre-booking-call</a><br /><br />Email:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:podcast@laquitamonley.com\">podcast@laquitamonley.com</a>","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/ee39919a-3e8e-4b70-93b7-b142cd5c0c4c/9818c4257f1ed54eae94acfe7e83b6f7.jpg"}
