But ask him what shaped him most and he'll talk about a frozen lake in Mongolia, a mountain in Kerry and the grandmothers he lost when he was young.He's a Performance Architect by trade, working with CEOs and leadership teams of scaling businesses to figure out why performance isn't where it should be and fixing it. He's climbed Kilimanjaro, been arrested in Ghana, crossed Lake Khövsgöl in Mongolia with a group of strangers and coached the Ireland Masters Hockey team to a World Cup bronze medal among other adventures.Brian believes that the best performers, in business and in life, are the ones who've learned to find their way through genuine uncertainty.
