"Brian spoke with our management team in the areas of training, communication, the importance of mastering the basics, and building a culture for success.  The way he related his worldly experiences to our industry made his presentation interesting and effective. This is exactly what I wanted and needed for my team."  Eric Moltz, CEO, Moltz Construction, Inc.

"Brian Petit is an exceptional speaker and I would highly recommend him to any organization. His encouraging and sincere approach will reach the heart of anyone wanting to improve as a leader. Brian is energetic and has the unique ability to adjust his presentation to meet your company's goals. He is a difference maker that can orchestrate positive change in your organization. I am honored to have him as a mentor."   Jim Coscarella, Athletic Director, Salida High School

"A gifted and impassioned speaker and communicator. Brian Petit's candid expression is crafted in such a way that he can connect with any audience in any setting. His humor, passion, insight, and worldly experience makes him sought after." US Army Lieutenant Colonel Todd Burkhardt, Ph.D.

"I had the privilege of working with Brian during a one-year deployment in Afghanistan. When I began creating a non-profit to retain women leaders in Special Operations by pairing them with male mentors, Brian was my first choice to join our Board of Advisors because he is the finest Green Beret I know. And other Green Berets agree - when I tell them he's on our Board, they want to join the program. Not only is he a recognized leadership expert, but he is a gifted speaker who connects and captivates his audience with humor and humility.  I'm proud to call Brian my mentor and friend."  Lyla Kohistany, Nonprofit Founder and Leader. 

"Brian is a highly-skilled educator and communicator who excels at the design and execution of curriculum involving operational planning and organizational leadership."  Michael Rogan, Instructor of Leadership and Strategy 

"A translation from theory to reality.  This style is not vague, it is written out in front of you.  The practical examples relate to us, specifically." March 2017

"Our pride gets in the way when we know we have a weakness (writing); this course is much needed and appreciated."  December 2016

"The class was efficient and effective, particularly compared to many other writing classes."  December 2016

"The writing improvement course conducted during P940 provided an invaluable service to myself and my classmates. Not only did the course address writing skills which had atrophied, it taught correct methods for citation which I have used to great effect throughout my tenure at CGSC. Without the skills taught during P940 a significant amount of time would be spent addressing the format of my papers leaving me little time to focus on the more important content." July 2013

"A very informative course, especially Embassy 101 and Foreign Service.  This course helped me to improve my writing shortcomings." December 2016

"The SOF writing improvement classes conducted during the SOF prep course was among the top three beneficial modules. These classes helped understand citations, organization, and flow of writing. Dr. Petit provided an invaluable ability that set me up for success within the CGSOC curriculum. Constructive feedback along with customized instruction decreased my personal writing challenges prior to starting CGSOC."  July 2013

Thank you for tailoring the class and instruction for our products and missions." March 2016

"Jodi holds our attention and is very interactive with attendees.  She is an excellent teacher."  March 2017

  “The teacher (Dr. Breckenridge Petit) is passionate about her work and kept students engaged.”  March 2016

"Without the SOF writing course provided by Dr. Petit, I would have struggled writing the required papers. My family time would have been reduced due to the time required to organize and refine my topics. The lessons learned from these modules will carry forward in my SOF career after I leave CGSC. Writing professional papers along with detailed analysis will be easier because of these classes."  July 2013

"I absolutely loved this course.  I don't think it could have been done better by anybody else.  Both instructors were wonderful."  December 2016
