The Personal Business Plan is a great and well-structured approach, which gave room for a lot of reflections that would not be prioritized or in focus otherwise. I have become more robust and balanced in how I approach life and everyday situations. I am much more clear about my priorities and “mission” in life, which makes me more comfortable in making choices. I think many senior executives could benefit from this.
The Personal Business Plan provides a genuine blueprint to drive individual transformational development and overall career success. This authoritative, 10-step process enables you to determine what is truly important and to establish and focus on your true life ambition.
Stephen Bruyant-Langer boldly states that his goal in The Personal Business Plan is to make you happy. Certainly a lofty ambition.

Common sense and deep psychological insight is vigorously applied. Embarking on the process of reaching a higher level of happiness is made as easy as designing a 2 week exercise program to get in shape.
Stephen Bruyant-Langer knows how you are thinking – and in The Personal Business Plan he elegantly compels you to move yourself to your next level. Deep psychological insight is invisibly applied to a familiar and easy-to-use business plan roadmap. With “Your Personal Business Plan” your biggest existential questions look like common sense.
Stephen delivered an excellent session for a group of our senior partners. His many years of experience gives him great credibility and shines through in his presence. He is very high energy, very engaging and good at challenging his audience. Furthermore, he has a unique ability to stay present in the moment and leverage the opportunities that arise. He has an ability to make it relevant for the audience. And it was the experience of not knowing exactly what would happen but feeling 100% safe at the same time.
Stephen’s session was the most talked about and the highest rated of the seminar. I would not hesitate to invite Stephen back for future engagements.
The Personal Business Plan is an immensely efficient tool – for clarifying potentials and priorities as well as for determining your future path. I recommend it highly.
Doing “My Personal Business Plan” developed into a great and inspiring journey. The opportunity to focus on myself, my past and my skills gave me insight into new dimensions of myself that I wasn’t conscious of. My desires and my dreams became much clearer to me. Stephen Bruyant-Langer was an excellent coach throughout the process. I can highly recommend him and his method.
When I finally retired, I was at ease with myself, prepared for my new life in so many ways and most of all full of appetite to explore this new period. Thanks to Stephen.
Stephen is a charming, open but also forceful professional, who in an elegant way conducts the various sessions you must go through. You are together with an inspiring mentor and a business psychologist. A challenge.
I want to tell Stephen a RESOUNDING Thank You for all your good help over the last couple of years. You have taught me an incredible lot, and your coach qualities are unparalleled – it’s that simple! You really have a rare ability to give the right push, which supports and confirms, motivates and prods one’s development potential and sends one forward and further. I shall miss it greatly!
I would really like to thank You for your great support, by you personally and from being subjected to the PBP concept which is brilliant, fascinating, and inspiring. Through my cooperation with you, and during a time when I was ‘in between corporate roles’, I managed to maintain a belief that I can do it and that I can wait to strike when the time and place is right. That all proved to be the right strategy.
PBP has been a fascinating journey bringing self-insight for the better and for the worse. I have learned to contain weaknesses and build on strengths and to formulate a vision and aspiration of what to achieve. For me that purpose is ‘what I can bring to the executive management board’. But PBP has also has shown me the path to get rid of stupidities and anxieties and to become a better and more balanced person.
I would love to continue our cooperation.
I run a successful construction company. Since I started working with Stephen, my personal life as well as my professional life have improved in ways I did not imagine before.
Stephen’s advice is specific and hands-on. He has a unique way of seeing my pains and guiding me to a solution. My work with Stephen has motivated me to implement major changes in my company regarding digitalization, top management, customers, and other strategic issues. On a personal level, I am healthier and happier.
The Personal Business Plan is a magnificent step-by-step method, clear and comprehensive. I feel confident that I leave no stone unturned in my life, and I feel confident that I plan and act in the best way possible. I would recommend The Personal Business Plan to anyone ambitious who wants to go even further.
The coaching process has given me great insight into myself and I believe I have become a stronger and sharper leader and person with the insight I now have.
Stephen is a very good listener, very good in asking questions and carefully guiding me to find my own conclusions. Stephen is a trustworthy partner and by his personality and professionalism he creates an environment of trust which is crucial to make a powerful coaching program.
Stephen is a true professional and strives for excellence.
I have had the great pleasure of working closely with Stephen at some of the workshops and seminars I arrange. Each time, Stephen’s book and The Personal Business Plan have been our focal point and a great deal of our participants has been inspired to go on and pursue their own desires and dreams, following our events.
I can safely say that Stephen has been an enormous source of inspiration for me. He is generous, welcoming and sincere in his demeanor and in sharing his knowledge. Stephen is always open to new ways of seeing and doing things and a great pleasure to work with. Always in a good mood and very straightforward, he is highly skilled and can be sharp and challenging where necessary. I would like to give Stephen, Stephen’s book and especially “The Personal Business Plan” my highest recommendation.
Stephen was an excellent coach and mentor for me during 2½ years – very dedicated, passionate and committed to me regarding the different challenges I was facing in my daily business life in both Ukraine and Russia.
He supported me in an excellent way during the global crisis, with the right tools he always ensured to give me the right balance between work and private life and he was able to fly up in the helicopter and see the big picture.
One of Stephen’s greatest strengths is his communication skills. I have been part of many different audiences, where Stephen has been a keynote speaker. Outstanding performance and dedication from his side and he is really able to deliver a top notch result.
The Personal Business Plan might, based on title only, sound like yet another unleash-your-unrealized-potential book. It isn’t. In a world where recruiters and executive search companies tend to narrow candidates to CV headlines and inflated job titles, Stephen has chosen to challenge habit thinking.
The Personal Business Plan explains how successful companies are comprised of more than just talented professionals; they excel due to successful human beings. My meeting with Stephen’s thinking forced me to review my accomplishments as well as my motivators in a different light. It has synchronized my personal and career ambitions, and provided me with clear guidance and purpose in the actions and choices I make.
If you want to take a long-term perspective on your career path and life, and you dare to challenge your beliefs about your professional life, the Personal Business Plan (PBP) has by far the best mind-set and methods I’ve tried. After working with career and leadership development for managers and executives for half a decade, I had the opportunity to work extensively with my own Personal Business Plan through challenging and educational coaching by Stephen in 2016-2017. The sessions gave me a systematic way to view my achievements in a broader and better perspective and set both short and long-term ambitions for my professional future.
I´m confident that I will revisit the online plan we developed as my personal blueprint several times every year throughout the remainder of my career. To have a written overview of thoughts, ideas and decisions, will help me execute my goals and change them from a one-dimension paper plan to a multi-dynamic self-development tool. The PBP will also make it much easier to share my ambitions and seek support from my network.
”You only live once but if you do it right, once is enough”, in all its simplicity describes what ”My Personal Business Plan” is all about!
I experienced the process as a mental check-up, which surprisingly revealed imbalances between the life I want to live and my actual life. Focus on daily routines and tasks had in obscurity created my imbalance.
My Personal Business Plan now functions as a forecast for the remaining part of my life, it contains work as well as private goals for the life I feel worth living and look forward to live. By performing regular pit stops I secure that my forecast is updated and my milestones achieved. For all coming users I recommend that the ”first pass” is done with assistance from Stephen. Without Stephen’s experience and professional insight the quality of my realizations and visions would never have reached its present level: Prioritize important things; be ambitious when setting personal goals and brave when pursuing them; that’s how you create a personal adventure.
