At Rhodes Smith, we are catalysts of transformation – the provocateurs of the uncomfortable – aimed to expand your story that is authentic and true to your intention. Our clients are risk takers and are passionate about breaking through pre-set patterns and habits. If you are in an organization where a leader is seeking to enhance how you interact with your team, peers, or build influence, or an individual seeking to excel past your status quo. Rhodes Smith provides a holistic approach aimed to reframe, restructure, and renew capabilities centered around: Mind, Body, Intention.
With the digital era establishing a pace of organizational innovation that is only matched by human resource headaches that resonate from toxic cultures created by the lack of leadership skills, Dr. Brooks and the Rhodes Smith team offer one-on-one consulting and customized plans to help you and your organizational leaders forge new behavioral paths. We develop the soft skills in leaders that matter most for organizations in the future – when the software is not the differentiator. Our role is to accelerate the process of leadership self awareness in younger generations, as leadership power is thrust upon them.

It takes a great deal of focused determination, dedication, and energy, and Dr. Brooks is ready to help you take this journey and truly master your intentions.
