Organizational development & leadership branding for to help leaders and organizations thrive
Our Purpose
Career Thrivers is a strategic leadership development and organizational consulting firm founded by Brittany N. Cole. Named a Top 10 Leadership Development Company by ManageHR, we've partnered with 103+ organizations including Amazon, Bridgestone Americas, UPS, Caterpillar, Sony Music, Vanderbilt University, the National Museum of African American Music, and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center reaching more than 130,000 leaders worldwide.
​
We operate at the intersection of three disciplines most organizations keep separate: organizational development, leadership branding, and workforce strategy. That integration is what allows us to design a women's leadership intensive for Bridgestone, advise the Freedom Center board on strategic planning, and coach an executive on their leadership (personal) brand all with the same rigor and methodology.
Our Vision
As AI reshapes every industry, the leaders who thrive won't be the most technical; they'll be the most trusted, most visible, and most human.
Career Thrivers is building the firm that Fortune 500 executives and mission-driven organizations turn to first when the question becomes: how do we develop, retain, and position the leaders no algorithm can replace?
Our Mission
We help organizations translate mission into action and build leadership pipelines for long-term impact. And we help individual leaders build the brands their expertise deserves.
Our Why
Career Thrivers was founded in 2019 by Brittany N. Cole, a bestselling author, LinkedIn Learning instructor with 25,000+ global learners, keynote speaker, and host of the Let's Thrive Together podcast. Her book Thrive Through It was endorsed by #1 Executive Coach Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, and she holds education credentials from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville and Harvard Kennedy School.
​
Brittany built Career Thrivers because she saw the same pattern across every industry: the most qualified leaders were often the least visible, and the organizations investing in talent were keeping leadership development, branding, and strategy in separate silos.
Career Thrivers exists to close both gaps, helping organizations build the systems that develop and retain great leaders, and helping those leaders build the brands their expertise deserves.
