Carrigart is regarded as one of the most scenic parts of Ireland. While it is largely agricultural, it has attracted tourists for centuries. Brian Rafferty attached the name to his coaching, recruiting, and consulting practice because it is the town in County Donegal from which his grandmother emigrated in the late 19th Century. Like most from her hometown, Gran was the epitome of grit, determination, and perseverance. She crossed the Atlantic on her own, worked in a factory, and eventually married a Philadelphia police officer, with whom she raised eight children in a small rowhome. The couple has more than one hundred direct descendants living in the United States. Gran represents the American Dream. Brian recognized at a young age the odds Gran overcame and was indelibly influenced by her story. As a result, he approached his life and career with the same resolution and desire to influence success in others. Packaged into programs that can be tailored to specific needs are his experiences identifying, hiring, building, and leading sales teams and shepherding professional development. Throughout his career, Brian has been a hiring champion for well over a hundred sales reps and managers. He is known in the industry for having an eye for talent. Although Brian was born and raised in the Philadelphia region, the influence of Carrigart can be found in his enthusiasm for the outdoors, particularly running and hiking. It is no coincidence that these hobbies have modalities that parallel leadership development. Like experienced hikers and runners, good leaders cultivate habits necessary to constantly hone their vision, recognize opportunities, and successfully navigate unforeseen obstacles. Gran accomplished this more than a hundred years ago, and Brian successfully applied the same process to business. His empathy, know-how, and drive will help you reach your goals, too.
