Brian Houp

Certified Executive Coach

It has always been my belief that the quality of leadership drives the quality of our lives. It’s what drives me.

At ReZone, I provide executive coaching and leadership development tailored to the unique needs of senior executives and entrepreneur leaders. These 'Leaders of Leaders' carry significant influence. Their actions and behaviors create ripples in all directions as they model how to lead, live and work in both positive and negative ways.

My work is often with experienced leaders taking on bigger roles and more responsibility. Our goal is to ensure they thrive now and in the future, just like they did in their past. Together, we work to ensure their influence is as positive, productive and effective as possible.

ReZone’s Core Values

Lasting success can only be accomplished starting with a solid foundation built on consistent beliefs and core values. I have established eleven core values guiding how ReZone engages and interacts with each client.

  • Peak Performance

  • Value of Time

  • Continuous Growth

  • High Quality of Life

About Brian

Before coaching, Brian led multiple teams through 5 mergers and acquisitions in the fast-paced television advertising industry. Despite the constant change, Brian’s teams thrived. Most were recognized in the top 5% of their peers across the globe.

As a self-described "obsessive overachiever," Brian had been shamefully voted the "Office Workaholic" at a very challenging time in his personal life as his wife battled cancer and many other significant stresses fell upon his family. Working at that pace while attempting to be present with his family meant one thing: Brian was well beyond his capacity.

This wake-up call set Brian on a new path that led to ReZone. 

Since 2013, Brian has coached leaders in small businesses, big businesses, and everything in between. Brian’s personal mission with his coaching is to help more high-achieving leaders find ways to succeed without sacrificing their overall quality of life.
