Meet Bruce

For twenty years, I’ve helped professional services firms grow — not by doing more, but by doing what works...better.

I believe that clarity wins. Focus scales. And leadership isn’t about being in charge — it’s about being in the corner for your people.

Today, as National Leader of Industries at CBIZ, I continue that mission from a new platform — helping teams and practice leaders across the country get pointy, stay accountable, and lead with intention.

While we think we’re pretty great seconds to our clients, we know if we want to level up we, too, need the help of experts. So we sought out Teddy Atlas, one of the best coaches and cornermen in the history of boxing, and asked him for advice.

Thanks, Teddy.

Enjoy.

Working with Bruce is a

What is a
Chief Seconds?

Chief Second, noun

\ chēf se-kənd \

1. In sword and pistol dueling one’s second, often also armed, had the responsibility of ensuring the duel was conducted in fair and gentlemanly manner. Think Hamilton and Burr.

2. In boxing, a second is the fighter’s coach and corner person. This person’s responsibility is to lead their fighter to victory, guide them through adversity, and always keep their fighter’s welfare the top priority. One of the boxer’s seconds is designated ‘Chief Second’ and it is this person’s role to lead the support team to the overall benefit of the fighter and the sport.

3. In professional services marketing, your Chief Second is your secret weapon. A strategist, problem solver, coach, and growth catalyst whose sole goal is to get you to success, however you define it.
