What gets us out of bed in the morning?

Our mission is to create systems and training that can drive practical business results; improve how small business owners and their employees run their business; and inspire learning and growth.

Our dream is that every small business can have access to the systems, and the training for their people, of any large organization. 

Our Values

Deliver meaningful results

Constant improvement 

Create purposeful experience

Focus on the whole person

How Our Values Influence Our Approach

We understand everything is about getting results. That’s what you are paying for after all. To make something meaningfully better. What you are trying to improve and what’s the desired outcome – that’s where we start and that’s what we keep coming back to.

We believe that constant improvement with a growth mindset is critical to lasting success. We don’t want systems and tools collecting dust on your shelf. We want to leave our clients capable to continue to improve performance.

We understand your business is always unique. You want systems and training. But it must be tailored to your realities. And it must be delivered and implemented on your schedule.

We understand it’s not always about just the numbers. We value the whole person and helping business owners and their employees create the experience they want in life.

BRAD COPES

FOUNDER 

Business Coach

Brad’s passion has always been teaching and coaching. He started an exterior painting business to pay his way through university, and fell in love with entrepreneurship, training, and leading employees. Small business became the outlet for his passion – the place where he could train, coach, and develop people. At the same time, he learned the real hard day-to-day challenges of managing a business: making payroll, negotiating with clients, and motivating staff.

His career after university started in the franchising world where he has experienced recruiting, training, and leading hundreds of franchise owners. He has managed large divisions and led corporate staff. He has experienced the real pressures of needing to deliver results. He was fortunate to work in a company that cared deeply about the success of franchise owners; and cared deeply about training and developing leaders.

Brad used the things he learned early in his career next building training programs and consulting with business owners in home services, construction, and manufacturing. Brad loves spending his days concocting systems and tools that can optimize a small business.

Bedrock Advising was born from Brad’s deep desire to provide approachable and affordable bespoke coaching, consulting, and training to small and medium sized businesses. Solutions tailored to what is needed, implemented in a way to get meaningful results today. And a dream that any small business, empowered with the things large corporations have when it comes to leadership training, coaching and systems – could make more money, it’s people can have more fun, and they can manage like seasoned executives.

  • Above & Beyond Home Concepts

    In my pursuit of continual improvement & growth, I was on the search for a consultant that could advise & work with myself & our team. The goal was to find someone who could offer direct & individual coaching, doing a deep dive into our business and offer recommendations. I've found that and more with Brad! He makes you think, has outstanding advice, vast resources to draw from & most importantly for me, is a great person. Anyone looking for support with their business should consider Brad.

    I would highly recommend Brad & Bedrock Advising to anyone who’s looking to get crystal clear on their vision, mission and goals for themselves. Working with Brad has given me the critical time necessary to reflect on my current habits/routines and be more mindful about what I need to do to restructure them in order to hit my goals. Honing my vision, goals and priority management in just a short period of time has helped me significantly refine my day to day work in order to more effectively work towards what I really want. Thank you Brad for helping me make those goals and priorities clearer.

  • Fyfe Coaching

    I'm a mental fitness coach and I've been working with Brad at Bedrock for about 8 months now. It's been amazing. Brad has helped me refine my business priorities and strategy. In the last 2 weeks I have increased my potential customer discovery calls by an insane amount. Went from 1-2 a week to 6+ all because of the coaching with Brad. He's also been really great at uncovering the limiting perspectives I have in my business. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

  • High Five Exterior Cleaning

    We're re-clarifying our organization structure right now, and it's allowing me to finally delegate full responsibilities and roles to my staff, instead of me haviing to stay on top of everything as the owner. He's helping me make way better choices with hiring which I know will decrease turnover drastically
