Welcome to The Brink Academy

Who we are

At The Brink Academy, we excel in supporting the leadership growth and productivity maximization of our clients. We can support you and your organization in person or virtually.

At The Brink Academy, our leadership style is grounded in a holistic approach that prioritizes team success over individual leadership. Our framework is built upon key principles that guide our actions and decisions:

  1. Team-Centric Philosophy: We firmly believe that the success of a team is paramount, and we recognize that individual leadership can only thrive within a thriving team environment.
  2. Transparency as a Guiding Light: Transparency is at the core of our leadership approach. We strive to maintain open and honest communication, fostering an environment where trust and collaboration can flourish.
  3. Reality-Based Leadership: We adhere to the principles of Reality-Based Leadership, focusing on addressing real issues rather than getting entangled in unnecessary drama. By staying grounded in reality, we create a workplace that is efficient, productive, and resilient.
  4. Personal Accountability: We emphasize the importance of personal accountability, empowering individuals to take ownership of their actions and contributions. This not only enhances personal growth but also contributes to the overall success of the team.
  5. Coaching for Success: Recognizing the transformative power of coaching, we advocate for its vital role in individual success. Drawing inspiration from the world of sports, where the best athletes have coaches, we bring the same philosophy to leadership development.
  6. Goal Setting for Achievement: We believe in the potency of goal setting. Setting clear and achievable goals not only provides direction but also serves as a catalyst for continuous improvement and accomplishment.


We also recognize that exceptional leadership is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor.

About the founder

Steve Brink is the Owner and Head Coach at The Brink Academy

Steve started his career in IT for a local health care system. Over time, he earned the opportunity to move from a technical role into leadership, where he continued to grow into a Senior IT Director. During his time of growing as a leader, he was able to be coached by some fantastic mentors. It was during this time that he realized that his true passion was in training others to become great leaders. So after 20+ years of leadership, he launched The Brink Academy.

“Steve instilled a belief in me as a leader and essentially unstuck my career for what direction to take next. From the very beginning, he encouraged me to think outside of the box and to consider new possibilities. His enthusiasm for leading people to strengthen their own skills for the betterment of our team was infectious, and I quickly found myself inspired to do more and to push myself further, and,  lead my team in the same way. Thanks to Steve’s influence, I have grown professionally and express my gratitude to him for teaching me to better empower my team and watch them grow as I have.”

"The Brink Academy and Steve are simply amazing! Steve's coaching helped me gain a new perspective on leadership, and his guidance and support have been invaluable to me.
