That is why Aperture helps individuals and organizations develop great performance through mindfulness-based processes.The bottom line is great leadership can be cultivated through guidance, mentoring and commitment to a process of improvement.
Founding Aperture – Brad Baldwin
I am energized by the opportunity to share my story with you. I have enjoyed a two-decade career in executive leadership, leadership development, and human resources. I’ve learned from great mentors and also through the difficulties that are an inevitable part of life. There have been personal successes and countless failures, those highs and lows have at times been overwhelming. The integration of mindfulness into my daily experience has provided the joy and satisfaction of a more easeful and productive path forward.
Aperture was founded to support you on your journey of discovery. I look forward to helping you find the authentic leader within you and the easeful and productive path available to you.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Let the light in. Let us help you.
Aperture helps chart a clear path for putting the attitudinal foundations of mindfulness into action. We use a combination of skill development and perspective building that builds the understanding of self necessary to be a great leader. Applying this process with mentoring support enables a person to become an easeful and more effective leader.
Clarity is key to great leadership. We nurture a mindful approach to leadership helping you through a process to cultivate clarity about your self, your style, and how you can use this authenticity to be effective.
To know thy self is the beginning of wisdom.
