About Excelsis Leadership Group
At Excelsis Leadership Group, we empower professionals and executives to lead with confidence in a world of evolving geopolitical risks and rapidly shifting business landscapes. Our mission is to equip leaders with the strategic foresight, mental toughness, and emotional resilience necessary to navigate complexity, make high-stakes decisions, and execute with precision under pressure.
Meet Our Founder
Our founder, Brian Harris, brings a unique combination of expertise in leadership, crisis management, and strategic planning developed through decades of service in the U.S. Foreign Service. Having led teams in some of the world’s most challenging environments - from conflict zones in Iraq and Pakistan to complex geopolitical environments in Latin America - he understands what it takes to stay calm, focused, and effective when the stakes are high.
As a certified Unbeatable Mind coach, Brian applies cutting-edge techniques to help clients build mental toughness, emotional resilience, and the adaptive strategies necessary to navigate high-pressure environments. Unbeatable Mind, developed by Navy SEAL Commander Mark Divine, is a proven system for mastering the mind and performing at your peak, even under the most extreme conditions.
Adaptive Strategies in a Rapidly Changing World
Today’s world is in constant motion—political realignments, environmental shifts, technological leaps, and evolving power structures all converge to reshape the competitive landscape. At Excelsis Leadership Group, we don’t just offer “geopolitical risk consulting” in a vacuum; we guide you through the interconnected forces driving change on every level, from international relations to the dynamics within your own organization.
We help you see how these forces interact in a kind of multi-dimensional chess game—one where the moves you make today can position you for success tomorrow. Whether you’re transitioning from government to the private sector, aiming to elevate your leadership impact, or seeking peak performance under pressure, we equip you with the strategic acumen to interpret trends, anticipate challenges, and seize emerging opportunities.
By integrating a nuanced understanding of global and local shifts into practical strategies for career development and crisis leadership, we empower you to thrive in the modern economy. At Excelsis, we believe that true leadership isn’t just about guiding your team internally—it’s about navigating the external forces that define your path to success. And when you understand the game, you can chart a winning course.
Developing Strategic Leadership and Resilience
In today’s volatile environments, leaders need more than just awareness of external shifts; they need agile strategies, emotional resilience, and a vision that unites their entire team or organization. At Excelsis, our leadership coaching goes well beyond individual mental states to provide a holistic framework for high performance across the board. We help you:
Strengthen Mental Toughness
Stay focused under pressure and maintain clarity when it matters most.
Elevate Emotional Intelligence
Cultivate genuine connections, motivate teams, and foster a culture of trust.
Build Strategic Foresight

We believe that real leadership growth arises from uniting strategic thinking, robust resilience, and an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement—so you can face uncertainty with confidence and lead your organization to lasting success.
Strategic Transition Training
In addition to serving seasoned executives, Excelsis recognizes the immense potential of those transitioning from federal service to the private sector. Our Strategic Transition Training program is specifically designed to help government employees leverage their unique experiences and skill sets to excel in new roles. Through focused coaching, practical career guidance, and resilience-building techniques, we provide a clear path for professionals seeking to transfer their public-sector expertise into rewarding private-sector opportunities.
