The people who make shift happen.
Behind our methodology are people who genuinely love this work, and the people we do it with.
An organization moves only as fast as its people can absorb change and lead it. We equip leaders at every level to set that pace.
We’ve sat in the chair our clients sit in.
Kristy Braden and Brad Smith founded Inflection Point Leadership in 2019 on that conviction, and it still shapes every engagement.
Every one of us has led from inside organizations before partnering with them from the outside. We bring advanced degrees, deep functional experience, and certifications in William Bridges’ Transition Model, Immunity to Change, the Leadership Circle Profile and DiSC. What you’ll notice first, though, is how much we enjoy the work itself, and each other.
The partners you’ll work with.
Brad and Kristy lead IPL’s engagements and work directly with every client, from the first conversation to the final results.
Brad Smith
Practitioner at heart; working alongside leaders to equip their people to lead change rather than endure it.
Change is hard work, and I’ve learned that people do it better when the work also holds some genuine joy. I treat every meeting and project as an experience, not just a deliverable. Getting to know clients personally builds the trust that carries us when the work gets hard, so we can take the work seriously, partner toward a common outcome, and never take ourselves too seriously along the way.

Kristy Braden
Educator at heart; two decades turning learning into measurable leadership growth.
My first passion was education — I discovered it “playing school” with my younger brother, trying to teach him to read. After teaching high school and then adult GED classes, I realized I love working with adult learners most of all. I’m now in my dream job: harnessing the power of education to help clients grow and thrive.
LinkedInAlongside every engagement.
Libby keeps each engagement running smoothly behind the scenes. Our affiliate coaches join when an engagement includes individual leadership coaching.

Kevin Adler
My passion is helping people connect to the best version of themselves so they can show up as the best version of themselves at work, at home and in their community. Being in nature, and specifically the mountains, fuels me, as does being with fellow heart-centered, growth-minded people.
