Restore integrity through insight.
A world in which people do what they say, are forthright in their communications, and a handshake solidifies any promise.
Provide integrity-centered leadership counsel.
Through our integrity-based services, we improve productivity for the investor, executive, team, culture, organization and the individual.
No substitute for the truth
Creating and supporting a climate that encourages forthright communications - including presenting the bad news first - enables members of the organization to function more effectively.
Verbal handshake
Promises are made and kept. Integrity, timeliness, quality and loyalty are reflections of what it means to honor commitments.
Intensity, sensitivity and follow-through
Productivity is measured in accomplishment and impact. Graphs measure productivity. High morale and constructive relationships emerge when what people say is reflected in how they treat others.
"Integrity is one of several paths; it distinguishes
itself from the others because it is the right path and
the only one upon which you will never get lost."
-- M.H. McKee
HISTORY & PURPOSE
When businesses fail in their values, they decay from the
inside. In the late 1990's, values came to be viewed as
expensive and conservative relics of the old economy. In
the race to sell the latest and greatest product or service,
the false promises of hollow values spoke too frequently
to what we would not or could not do. As we begin the Twenty-first
Century, the excesses of a few appear to have punished the
whole of society, especially the economy. A world has been
created where the prevailing structures promote the politics
of convenience over the commitment of leadership. Too large
a part of the business community enjoyed the excesses of
luxury as it drifted from quick deals to devastating dishonesty. It
should be common knowledge that free markets must operate
with integrity, a culture of compliance, or face increasing
government
oversight.
If you are interested in developing integrity in your business,
capturing customers, motivating your workforce, and setting
your organization apart, then turn to our consulting
services and come away with a process to re-ignite the
fire that drives integrity inside and beyond your enterprise.

Jane K. Bracher
 Jane K. Bracher, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dimension Five Consultants, Inc. founded in 1980, helped expand services globally. Addressing management and leadership development concerns, Jane grew the firm from a few word-of-mouth referrals to a consulting brand known for identifying talent, domestically and internationally. By coordinating team building for organizational impact and profit; she grew her job in accounting (where she started, part time, for two weeks) to operations, culminating with her becoming CEO.
In 1993, Jane renamed Dimension Five’s individual leadership assessment approach, originally called profiling. She saw ways to better leverage the value-added impact of Dimension Five’s executive effectiveness process, building a consulting approach into a brand, called a leadership Portrait. The value-added element of this approach would provide clients with a powerful differentiator. Instead of focusing narrowly on how people currently behaved, using a standard organizational development approach, Jane saw that focusing on the potential of the individual would better enable clients to capitalize on Dimension Five’s high-speed, accurate and effective leadership counsel.
The Portrait process became the leadership and teambuilding platform that enabled individuals to even more constructively impact organizational growth and productivity - providing tools and processes that could:
Dimension Five services were featured on network television, in national newspapers and business journals. Jane and Jim Bracher were the originators of the “Talking with Leaders” symposia, celebrating the first ten years of Dimension Five Consultants in 1990 - hosting President Gerald Ford and early in 1991- Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick.
Jane encouraged Dimension Five’s Founder, Jim Bracher, to provide an on-line service, creating the Bracher Center for Integrity in Leadership in 2004, offering a free “library” on its Resources page. The resources page focuses on the role of integrity in effective leadership; sharing insights from consultation with 8,000 leaders.
Following her retirement from the Bracher Center, in December 2007, Jane will continue to serve as CEO of Dimension Five Consultants, Inc. - having relocated the firm’s offices from Monterey, California, to nearby Carmel, simultaneously scaling down the consulting services from national and international assignments to primarily regional projects.
Prior to her operational role with Dimension Five, Jane, and educator, focused on early childhood development, having taught at the Church of St. Michael and George, St. Louis, Missouri.
Following her decade as a “stay-at-home” mother, wife and partner with Jim, Jane returned to the working world, outside the home, to expedite the launching and expansion of Jim’s entrepreneurial efforts, Dimension Five Consultants and later the formation and development of the Bracher Center for Integrity in Leadership.
Jane’s education: Elmhurst College, Elmhurst Illinois; The American School, Jerusalem, Israel; and Mansfield College, Oxford University, England. Hobbies: music, travel, reading and golf (but only on warm clear days).

Capitalizing on a network of clients, colleagues and friends, Jim is offering similar counsel to what has been provided through the Bracher Center and Dimension Five Consultants.
The motivation for the Bracher Center grew from suggestions of clients. They realized that Dimension Five was collecting data concerning effective and integrity-centered leadership that would enable leaders to gain insight into their own operational effectiveness as well as that of their organizations.

The Bracher Center shares insights that have been gained by Dimension Five in consultation with 8,000 leaders.
His work has been featured on network television, in national newspapers and business journals. He is the originator of the "Talking with Leaders" symposia.

His assignments were Saint Louis Country Day School in Ladue, Missouri; Second Congregational Church in Greenwich, Connecticut; First Congregational Church in Terre Haute, Indiana; and Community Church of the Monterey Peninsula in Carmel, California.
