Honoring Mama
4Alice is named after my grandma. Everything we do carries her spirit.
Her name was Alice Jerszynski. I called her Mama. She was the kind of woman who made you feel like the most important person in the room — not because she tried to, but because she genuinely believed you were. She listened without judgment. She offered wisdom without ego. She believed in people even when they struggled to believe in themselves.
Mama never had a coaching certification. She never read a leadership book. But she had something more valuable than any credential: the ability to sit with someone in their uncertainty and help them find their own way forward. She didn’t give you the answer. She helped you realize you already had it.

We said our final goodbyes to Mama in October 2023. She was 98 years old and she lived every one of those years with the same gentle presence. I had the privilege of seeing her one last time in the spring of 2023 — a visit I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.
4Alice carries her name and her spirit forward. We show up for our clients the way she showed up for her family — without judgment, without agenda, with genuine care for the person in front of us. When we help a client find clarity, build confidence, or take the step they’ve been afraid to take, that’s Mama’s influence at work.
“She didn’t give you the answer. She helped you realize you already had it.”
OUR FOUNDER - BRIAN JERSZYNSKI
I spent 20+ years learning what it takes. Now I’m here to help you get there faster.
Career
I started my career in pharmaceutical sales and spent the next two decades doing the work — earning promotions in every role I held, including advancing from an entry-level role to a National Account Manager in my first year. I received three Circle of Excellence Awards. I became a Regional Field Trainer, a Strategic Account Manager, and an Associate Director. I built and led high-performing teams across some of the most competitive markets in the industry.
FIVES Framework
In 2004, I developed the FIVES™ Framework — not as a coaching tool, but as a personal survival system. I was nine months into my career and trying to figure out how to earn my first promotion. Three months later, with the help of the FIVESTM Framework & a comprehensive business plan, I was promoted to National Account Manager – a milestone my company told me typically took three years to achieve. This framework is the system I’ve relied on to earn promotions in every role I’ve held. It shaped how I lead, how I decide, and how I show up in every relationship that matters to me.
I spent years refining it quietly — using it with my teams, adapting it as I moved into leadership, sharpening it through every challenge the industry threw at me. By the time I decided to pivot to coaching, I didn’t have a theory. I had a proven system with 20+ years of real-world results behind it.
Coaching Journey
I transitioned to coaching because I finally found something that drove me more than my own career: helping other people accelerate theirs. I’ve seen what happens when ambitious professionals get the right guidance at the right time. They don’t just hit their goals faster — they build careers and lives they actually want. That’s what I’m here to help you do.
You don’t need someone to motivate you. You need someone who’s been where you are and can show you the way forward. That’s what 4Alice is built for.

The work matters.
So does everything outside of it.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me with my wife Kim and our three rescued research beagles – Rylee (13), Briggs (15) and Lily (10). Those three have more personality per pound than any animal I’ve ever met. We’re a travel family — national parks are our thing. There’s something about being in a place that’s genuinely humbling in size that resets your perspective on what actually matters.
I played competitive soccer my entire life made it to the D2 level in college – the discipline of team sport never really left me. These days I channel it into competitive powerlifting at the regional and national masters level. It’s taught me more about consistency, resilience, and the relationship between process and outcome than almost anything else in my adult life. The same principles that get you under a heavy bar are the ones that get you through a hard year at work. I genuinely believe that.
