Meet your instructor Brad Copes

Certified Executive Coach

Brad’s passion has always been teaching and coaching. He started an exterior painting business to pay his way through university, and fell in love with entrepreneurship, training, and leading employees. Small business became the outlet for his passion – the place where he could train, coach, and develop people. At the same time, he learned the real hard day-to-day challenges of managing a business: making payroll, negotiating with clients, and motivating staff. His career after university started in the franchising world where he has experienced recruiting, training, and leading hundreds of franchise owners. He has managed large divisions and led corporate staff. He has experienced the real pressures of needing to deliver results. He was fortunate to work in a company that cared deeply about the success of franchise owners; and cared deeply about training and developing leaders. Brad used the things he learned early in his career next building training programs and consulting with business owners in home services, construction, and manufacturing. Brad loves spending his days training business systems and tools that can optimize a small business. Bedrock Advising was born from Brad’s deep desire to provide approachable and affordable bespoke coaching, consulting, and training to small and medium sized businesses. Solutions tailored to what is needed, implemented in a way to get meaningful results today. And a dream that any small business can be empowered with the things large corporations have when it comes to leadership training, coaching and systems – and this will drive making more money, people having more fun and managing like seasoned executives.
