"I am amazed at how strategic Creed’s coaching was in helping me find and answer the key questions necessary to determine and remove the large roadblocks in my life. Our time together quickly helped me determine what was keeping me from pursuing my calling and allowed me to further accept the adventures God has been leading me towards."
"Creed is very good at asking questions that me help think about what I am passionate about and what next steps I need to take to find joy in my life."
"Balanced approach to addressing business issues, Creed has helped me generate a more methodical strategy to complex HR, career, and work/life balance scenarios. His insight and recommendations took into consider my own strengths (and weaknesses), on how to gain the most impactful outcome. Highly recommend his coaching to help with clarity on your challenges!"
"Creed Branson's system helped me think about all aspects of my past and present, and what I wanted most for my future."
I came to Creed to learn more on the profession of Life Coaching, and in return he not only offered his time to share his knowledge, but he extended an opportunity to work with him as a student.
Creed is a professional and true expert at what he does and delivers. He has invested much time into acquiring the tools and skills needed to offer guidance for those in search of clarity in life and in business; this is evident by his precise and methodical approach.
If you are at a point in life where you are at a cross roads, looking to connect more with what is truly important with you, or how to live life more fully in your personal and business arenas, I would highly recommend Creed as being a trusted partner, coach and confidant to work with.
Creed is thoughtful, inspirational, full of wisdom and knows how to ask just the right questions to get you on the right path. He is passionate about helping people find their sweet spot - their gifts, talents and abilities and encouraging them to discover how to apply them. He is caring but tough and no nonsense. He has high expectations because he wants the best for his clients. I highly recommend Creed for business, personal and spiritual coaching.
I was at a crossroads in my life and a couple of friends recommended Creed to me. I took their advice and am so thankful that I did. Creed does an amazing job of asking the right questions at just the right time. He understands that each person is uniquely different and therefore, asks the most pertinent question aimed at getting the most out of the individual. He has helped me to see the barriers in my life that have kept me stuck and has given me tools to aid in the removal of those barriers. By doing so, I am seeing more clearly the gifts and abilities that God has given me. I highly recommend Creed to anyone who seeks clarity in their lives. I am truly grateful for all that he has done and continues to do in helping me along this path of life.
Creed is an exceptional coach. Creed always found ways to challenge my thinking by putting another perspective to it. He's never told me what I need to do. His method was to always make me think about my situation and applying different scenarios to allow me to come up with my own solution.
I have worked with Creed for the past 6 years. I very much appreciated his deep knowledge and sincere integrity. He has an innate ability to meet you where you are and communicate effectively and productively. Working with him was easy yet challenging because he operates from a place of authenticity with no personal agenda. Creed clearly demonstrates a seasoned level of knowledge and experience and a passion for what he does.
Creed is filled with a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and experience. His insights and probing questions have encouraged and challenged me in countless ways. Creed is a brilliant man and an amazing human being. I highly endorse him
In many of my past business relationships I either allowed people to win at my expense or I won at their expense. Creed has helped me understand that we both need to win or no deal. This was a huge step, and as a result of thinking win/win, my business relationships have soared. In one of my first meetings with Creed, he helped me understand a business model that puts my team first while creating great value for our customers. This improved my cash flow immediately! I don’t think it was a coincidence that I hired Creed to be my life and business coach because Creed focuses on one of the most important things in life – long term relationships. Creed also helped me understand my identity as a serial entrepreneur. I never would have understood or expressed this prior to my relationship with Creed. He really helped me grow my business and genuinely cares about his clients! I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!
Creed is a wonderful life coach who's passionate about helping people discover their gifts and passions. He helped me discover my values and assisted me in creating a clear path of small goals leading me to my preferred destination.
As a church planter trying to juggle various roles in life, I knew I had to become a more organized and disciplined man, but I wasn’t sure where to begin. With Creed’s coaching and friendship, I have been able to take steps towards a healthier rhythm of life and am now becoming a better leader for my family, church, and community. I highly recommend Creed as a personal coach.
Creed accelerated my professional growth. He helped me identify where growth was required and realize what necessary change needed to happen. I've seen him change lives as people discover their life's calling under his coaching.
As a young musician, I have been amazed at how much Creed has been able to help me process things in my life. When I started working with him, I had just moved to Nashville to start college. Creed asked me tough questions that helped get me to where I want to be, and I couldn't be happier with what I was able to accomplish with a year. Thanks, Creed!
Creed has been coaching me for the last several months and the experience has been eye opening and very meaningful for me. In a relatively short period of time, he has helped me start connecting the dots of how I am personally wired and what makes me tick. As an entrepreneur, it is exciting to start to gain real clarity and confirmation within myself and in regards to my personal goals and dreams. If you are looking for a life or business coach, I would definitely recommend talking with Creed Branson. You won't find a more sincere person who is more passionate about helping people.
Trying to discern calling in one's life can be daunting and stressful...it certainly has been for me. I struggled greatly to find peace and direction; clarity remained elusive. Recently, Creed was particularly helpful in guiding me through this challenging time. He is uniquely qualified through his life experiences, and Christian/biblical perspective.
Creed has helped me to realize there are differences in how I am perceived and how I think I am perceived. He has helped me to ensure my communications and actions are consistent when working with co-workers, team members and others.
Creed helped me discover the way to juggle all that I do. He didn’t tell me the answers (although I wanted him
to) but he walked me through the process of helping me get organized and improved my effectiveness in my professional and personal world.
Creed was an incredible help to me as I nailed down my personal beliefs as well as my personal mission. I constantly refer back to my time with Creed when I'm unclear on decisions I need to man.
Creed's ability to drill down to what's really going on is something akin to ESP. He brings to the table a veritable toolbox of flexible and thought-inspiring exercises, which would serve anyone who sits down with him. Very impressed, and looking forward to continuing to use Creed as a resource in developing my business.
My experience with creed was great. He helped me discover my strengths, the tools I needed, and how to use those tools to achieve my goals. I would and will recommend him highly to anyone looking to take the next step to achieve there highest potential.
Creed is a great mentor and excellent teacher. After three sessions, he has already made a difference in my life.
Very effective at framing questions to help one get at the underlying reasons -- the traits and experiences that make us each individuals -- that drive our day-to-day actions. Creed has helped me shift my mindset from insisting on having all the "right" answers in life, to being okay with living in the world as it is, while keeping a healthy state of self-awareness.
Creed and I were able to dive a bit deeper into some of the more obscure parts of myself. A map of the mind would be useful, but he helped me create the compass with which I can map the rest out myself.
Age Isn't Your Problem—It's Your Power!
Leadership Coaching for Young Executives Who Refuse to Wait Their Turn
Transform your age from liability into competitive advantage
The technical skills got you promoted. The people challenges are what's holding you back. I help young executives master the emotional intelligence and strategic presence that separates good managers from transformational leaders.
My Track Record
- Age 23: Division director overseeing 10 restaurants with no college degree
- 300+ young executives coached to breakthrough performance
- 2 published books on leadership and emotional intelligence
- 0 college degrees when I reached senior leadership
I've Walked Your Path
At 16, I was a busboy. At 23, I was a division director managing 10 restaurants and hundreds of employees. No MBA. No connections. Just raw ambition forged in small-town dysfunction and an unshakeable belief that performance trumps pedigree.
I've sat in boardrooms where I was 15 years younger than everyone else. I know what it feels like when people assume you're someone's assistant. I understand the unique pressure of proving yourself while learning the rules nobody taught you.
That experience led me to discover something counterintuitive: your youth isn't your weakness—it's your secret weapon. But only if you know how to leverage it.
The Turning Point: When I was fired from that restaurant chain after 7 years, I realized something: I had been trying to lead like someone else instead of leveraging what made me different. That realization changed everything. Now I help young executives skip the trial-and-error and fast-track to authentic, effective leadership.
The Problems Traditional Leadership Coaching Ignores
Most leadership advice assumes you have gray hair and decades of experience. You don't.
The Credibility Gap: People assume you're inexperienced before you open your mouth. Traditional "executive presence" training feels inauthentic and often backfires.
The Imposter Spiral: You're succeeding faster than your peers, but internally you feel like you're faking it. The higher you climb, the more exposed you feel.
The Relationship Maze: Managing people older than you. Influencing without authority. Navigating office politics when you don't know the unwritten rules.
The Burnout Trap: You're working twice as hard to prove yourself, but sustainable pace feels like giving up. The relentless drive that got you here is now burning you out.
The Young Executive Advantage Framework
Research-backed strategies specifically designed for leaders who achieved success earlier than expected.
1. Dysfunction Audit: Identify the hidden advantages your difficult background gave you. Most young executives don't realize their "weaknesses" are actually superpowers.
2. Emotional Intelligence Mapping: Using the 16-element EQ framework from my book "EQ God's Way," we pinpoint exactly which people skills to develop first.
3. Strategic Presence: Learn to command rooms without trying to appear older. Build credibility through competence, not credentials.
4. Sustainable Success: Create systems that leverage your energy and ambition without burning out. Success built on unhealed wounds is unsustainable.
What Young Executives Say
"Creed helped me realize that my 'too young' problem was actually a pattern recognition advantage. Within six months, I went from being dismissed in meetings to being the person they call for strategic insights." — Marketing Director, Non-profit Company
"I was promoted to VP at 28 but felt like an impostor. Creed's framework helped me understand that my rapid rise wasn't luck—it was specific skills I'd developed from early adversity. Now I lead with confidence instead of anxiety." — VP Operations, Technology Startup
"The emotional intelligence work transformed how I manage my team. Instead of trying to be the 'boss,' I learned to lead with empathy while maintaining authority. Game changer." — Regional Manager, Cybersecurity Company
