Hi, I’m Chase Brownlee.
I started Your BOLD Advantage with one simple goal in mind: Help others make their personal and professional dreams a reality to create a better world.
When I was starting my career as a young geologist working in an underground mine, I can honestly say that I wasn’t very humble. I was ambitious and wanted to help people by solving their problems for them. The intent was pure, but I was overly confident in my abilities. I lacked the experience and social skills necessary to work with others. I wasn’t collaborative in my approach to solving problems. I believed that strong leaders should have all the answers and work independently. If you couldn’t do it on your own, it was a sign of weakness. So that’s how I operated.
A few hard discussions and some interpersonal conflicts started to paint a picture of how ineffective I truly was. I slowly started to develop empathy and quickly realized I wasn’t going to achieve anything alone. Through a series of coaches, mentors, and trusted advisors I was able to start realizing my true potential. Both inside and outside of work. Since then, I have held many different roles, predominantly focusing on people and process improvement and development.
My career path has given me the ability to effectively deconstruct complex problems into their individual constituents. These individual parts and pieces become much more manageable in terms of solutions and clarity on a path forward. This skill applied to any life or business situation can yield powerful results.
Using this methodology, I have achieved some of my biggest life goals and continue to push into new areas of my career where I’m uncomfortable in order to grow. All while maintaining balance with all my competing priorities in life.
It’s this realization of true potential and a comfortability with the unfamiliar that I look forward to helping you achieve as your coach and trusted advisor. You have what it takes, but you can’t do it alone.
Scientific methodology backed with a proven Framework
As a scientist, I prefer to take a data driven approach to solving complex and dynamic challenges. People are no different! As a certified MBTI practitioner with certificates in Change Management and Coaching, we will use several different assessments to get an objective understanding of yourself and identify potential blind spots that are limiting your potential. Through this objective approach, we will build the most comprehensive personal/professional development plan possible. Our coaching sessions will use the International Coaching Federations (ICF) framework to ensure that you receive the highest level of support possible.
Myers-Briggs (MBTI) and Personality Type
Should you request, we will use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to identify your unique personality type. This information will unlock the door for you to begin exploring the real you. This is the first step in gathering data to understand yourself, your strengths, and your opportunities for development.
Thomas-Kilmann Instrument (TKI) and Conflict Resolution
Conflict is ever present in our daily life. In our sessions we will use the TKI Assessment to get a better understanding of how you use the 5-conflict handling modes and develop your conflict handling abilities. This session will also dive into the importance of Emotional Intelligence or EQi to help you locate some potential blind spots to more effectively resolve conflict.
