“I was actively pursuing a middle school assistant principal role in Washington, Oregon, or California. Despite frequently advancing to finalist rounds, I wasn’t landing the position. I shared with IV my journey from librarian to aspiring assistant principal and the frustration I was feeling in the hiring process. What followed was several months of intentional, focused coaching, meeting twice monthly. Each session stripped down and rebuilt key elements of my professional presentation so my strengths could shine clearly and confidently.
Through IV’s coaching, I:
Refined and strengthened my professional brand.
Tightened and focused my resume to showcase measurable leadership impact.
Dissected interview questions to respond succinctly, strategically, and in alignment with my authentic leadership style.
Gained the courage to initiate challenging yet clarifying professional conversations.
Perhaps most transformative, IV helped me recognize that my leadership capacity was strong—and that it did not have to be confined to a traditional educational pathway. That clarity ultimately helped me land a leadership role aligned with both my strengths and my future vision.
Whether you’re an emerging leader or a seasoned professional experiencing frustration, plateau, or exhaustion, IV brings depth of experience, directness, and genuine investment in your growth. Working with him requires vulnerability and commitment—but it is absolutely worth the time and financial investment in your career.
I highly recommend IV Bray’s services to anyone ready to step fully into their leadership potential." [Aspiring Assistant Principal, “H”]

"Mr. Bray possesses a rare blend of leadership skills and teaching ability, along with a keen understanding of what it means to be an ethical educator. While I was already an experienced leader when I began working with Mr. Bray, I learned a great deal from him about navigating difficult leadership situations, challenging the brightest and most talented teachers, and—most importantly—living a more balanced life that prioritizes what truly matters.
He has a remarkable ability to know when to push someone to be their best and when to throttle down and play a supportive role, all while maintaining high expectations for excellence. I became a better educator and a better human being because of his mentorship and guidance. Mr. Bray played a profound role in my personal and professional development, and if he started a school today, I would come out of retirement to work for him." [Retired Principal, Dr. “J”]
