Dr. Bradt gained national attention in 2000 when Dr. Spencer Johnson, the renowned author of Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life chose him as the leading speaker on the message of that blockbuster best-selling book which has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. Cheese gave thousands of people the chance to get acquainted with Bradt’s extraordinary ability to cut through their frustration and fear and get to the heart of the matter; delivering powerful tools that help them adapt when going through change.

Bradt had established a strong following as an executive coach and speaker long before Johnson asked him to be the messenger for his groundbreaking book. He began his leadership development career in 1987 with a respected leadership development consultancy. There he helped client companies launch proven leadership strategies and transformational processes which turned change and tough times into an opportunity to transform themselves and take performance to the next level. His mantra—adapt and ignite!—is a rallying cry for success in these tumultuous times. He helps organizations adapt to new technologies and government regulations; inspires innovative thinking as industries consolidate; helps employees quickly adapt to major shifts driven by mergers, acquisitions or reorganizations; and gotten customers and employees alike to embrace a new product or service line.

Bradt earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Duquesne, University in Pittsburgh PA. He earned his doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from Hahnemann University and Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, which in 2007 honored him with the "Excellence in Professional Psychology" award. Only the second graduate to be so recognized at the time, this award underscored Bradt’s contributions to the field of professional psychology through his achievements as an author, leadership consultant/coach and world-class speaker.
