Brett Cooper
What I Do:
Founder & CEO of BlueFletch & LessMeeting.
Where am I?
I have had the opportunity to live and work in some great cities such as LA, DC, Chicago, and New York, but I decided to return to Atlanta to raise my family. Atlanta is a great place for business, has a growing technology community, and is home of some great schools (GT, Emory, GSU).
What do I want to do when I grow up?
When I was little, I wanted to be an astronaut... that still seems like pretty cool gig, but there are a diminishing number of job openings. Right now, when I grow up, I hope to help create opportunities for others around me to grow as individuals and leaders.
Values
The follow are the guiding principles that I try to use for framing my actions:
Attitude
A good attitude is worth more than any amount of skill and a bad attitude
Character
A man's Character is his most valuable attribute. Character is what makes people enjoy your company and remember your presence.
Integrity
Integrity is the cornerstone to character, most people will not respect and trust someone who lacks in integrity or honesty. Always hold true to your word.
Thinking
No amount of worldly possessions is as valuable as the ability to independently control your thoughts and perceptions.
Communication
If you learn to listen and empathize, you will be amazed how much easier it will be to communicate with others. The ability to communicate thoughts and ideas clearly requires projecting images that people can hold in their minds.
Goodness
Good things happen to good people.
Purpose
Definiteness of purpose and clear goals allow a person to steer their ship through the roughest of seas.
