John Beranek – Roots in Storytelling

John Beranek’s consulting and strategic planning career began as a storyteller. Growing up as one of seven children in rural Miller, South Dakota, John quickly learned the value of connecting with family, friends, neighbors and business people to find shared values and reach common goals.

Today, he is a consultant, strategist, leadership developer, facilitator, coach and trainer for his Sioux Falls, South Dakota company, Intersections Consulting.

His small-town roots have guided John’s journey throughout his career, where his work has taken him to 21 different states, five countries and three international organizations.

I recently had the privilege of attending leadership coaching with John Beranek of Intersections Consulting. Upon being promoted to Water Superintendent with the City of Sioux Falls, I found myself struggling with the weight of responsibilities of serving a large team. John walked me through multiple introspective sessions that addressed my internal doubts about my leadership abilities. By confronting these personal concerns and understanding their impact on my leadership style, John helped me renew my confidence in and approach to serving my family, my team, and my community effectively.

One of the key insights I gained was that understanding oneself is fundamental to leading others successfully. John equipped me with practical skills that were immediately applicable in my role. He encouraged me to embrace and learn from my weaknesses and leverage my strengths to empower my team. He challenged me to reconcile my perceptions with the realities of leadership in such a large team. His guidance not only refined my approach but also enhanced my confidence in navigating challenges within my new role. I am grateful for the invaluable lessons and tools I gained through this coaching experience.
