Our Services:

Turning Potential
Into Success

Great processes can optimize operations, but it’s engaged employees who truly transform challenges into opportunities.

That’s why our services are designed to develop self-aware leaders who recognize their unique power to make a lasting impact. From day one, we’re committed to turning talents into strengths and potential into performance. Our approach combines the science of data-driven strategies with the art of human-centered leadership. 


We’re here to create sustainable change, foster engagement, and drive long-term success. With our unique SIT Framework (Self, Individual, Team) and CliftonStrengths foundation, we offer a holistic approach that starts with understanding yourself and ripples out to transform your entire organization.


Explore our tailored services and discover how we can help you and your team perform at your best, creating an environment where everyone can succeed.

FRACTIONAL DATA ARCHITECTURE

Where Efficiency Meets Potential

 

Most businesses don’t have a data problem. They have a systems problem. Disconnected spreadsheets, manual workarounds, and processes built on tribal knowledge create bottlenecks that slow growth and increase risk.

 

As your Fractional Data Architect, we step in without the overhead of a full-time hire. We work directly in your systems, including Excel, Power Query, and SharePoint, to build clean data structures, automate manual workflows, and create reporting that actually reflects how your business runs.

Typical engagements include:

 

  • Data architecture and system design
  • Excel and Power Query builds and automation
  • Reporting and dashboard development
  • Process mapping and workflow optimization
  • Ongoing fractional support or defined project-based engagements

Our work is scoped to fit your needs, whether that’s a one-time build, a structured project with a clear deliverable, or ongoing fractional support as your operations grow.

COACHING & LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Leaders excel when they understand and leverage their unique strengths to inspire and elevate others. Our leadership development program is designed to transform good managers into visionary leaders who drive engagement, innovation, and sustainable growth.

We utilize Gallup’s CliftonStrengths assessment to uncover your natural talents. This isn’t about fixing weaknesses. It is about amplifying what you already do best.

Your Leadership Development program with BrightPath might include just you (for one-on-one coaching), or an entire curriculum for your team. Our packages are customizable to fit your needs, but we always use the SIT (Self, Individual, Team ) Framework and CliftonStrengths together as the backbone of our coaching and development processes. 

 

Above all, your customized Leadership Development program will focus on practical application and sustainable growth–for an impact long after our work together is complete. 

 

Let’s build stronger leaders for your organization. 

We also offer exclusive CliftonStrengths packages. These packages include assessments, 1:1 coaching, and team coaching to ultimately implement a strengths-based culture in your company. 

We help clients understand how to transform their greatest talents into strengths that can be consciously applied to achieve personal or professional goals.

Talent Equation (1)

Discover your natural talents, find opportunities to apply them and develop them into a Strength you can consciously apply.

 

Our CliftonStrengths 1:1 Discovery Coaching Package starts at $450 with options for continued coaching and team-level packages.

Choose the challenge you need to solve

Two paths to a stronger organization.

BrightPath develops the people who lead the work and improves the systems that support it. Start with the path that matches your most urgent problem.

01

People path

Coaching & Development

Choose this path when capable employees have become managers, but have not yet been given a practical system for leading people.

  • First-time manager development
  • Individual and cohort coaching
  • CliftonStrengths team workshops
  • Communication, feedback, delegation, and accountability
Explore Coaching & Development →
02

Systems path

Fractional Data

Choose this path when scattered spreadsheets, manual reporting, or disconnected processes are slowing decisions and consuming valuable time.

  • Data architecture and reporting design
  • Excel, Power Query, and Power BI solutions
  • Workflow and process automation
  • Documentation, ownership, and ongoing support

Which path fits?

Start where the friction is most visible.

Start with coaching when… Expectations are inconsistent, managers avoid hard conversations, delegation is weak, or strong employees are burning out under unclear leadership.
Start with data when… Reporting depends on copying and pasting, leaders question the numbers, key knowledge lives with one person, or decisions arrive too late.
Use both when… The organization is growing and needs better management behavior alongside clearer processes, reporting, and decision rights.
Not sure yet? Jakob can help diagnose whether the immediate constraint is primarily a people challenge, a systems challenge, or both.

Coaching & development

Leadership growth that moves beyond self-awareness.

BrightPath uses the SIT Framework to turn insight into observable leadership behavior. The work begins with the leader, expands into one-to-one relationships, and ultimately strengthens how the entire team operates. CliftonStrengths is a foundation, not the finish line. Managers learn how their natural patterns influence communication, conflict, delegation, and decision-making, then practice tools they can use in real work.
SelfUnderstand how you naturally lead and respond under pressure.
IndividualAdapt communication, coaching, and accountability to the person.
TeamCreate shared expectations and operating habits that scale.
BrightPath SIT Framework showing Self, Individual, and Team
Jakob’s SIT Framework keeps leadership development connected to three levels: the leader, each relationship, and the team system.

Fractional data architecture

Reliable information without a full-time data hire.

BrightPath designs practical reporting and data systems around the decisions your organization actually needs to make. The goal is not another dashboard. It is a dependable flow of information your team can understand, maintain, and trust. Jakob combines engineering discipline, process improvement, and human-centered implementation so the solution fits both the technology and the people using it.

DiagnoseMap the decisions, sources, manual steps, and hidden dependencies.
DesignCreate a right-sized architecture and phased improvement plan.
BuildDevelop reporting, automation, and cleaner data flows.
TransferDocument the system and equip the team to use it confidently.

Jakob’s BrightPath pyramid

Build the foundation before you build the dashboard.

The pyramid shows why Fractional Data work begins with processes: structured data, useful analysis, clear dashboards, and thoughtful automation. That foundation supports people and teams, which makes better strategy and better outcomes possible. This is how Jakob keeps data work connected to the organization it is meant to serve.
