Andy Stone
Clarity is KEY in the intellectual sport we know as 'Business'.
Regina's coaching and methodology took apart all the major "plays" in business and turned them into bite-size, easily digestible pieces for me to understand and most importantly, IMPLEMENT. It's amazing how much clarity she can bring to the very cliché topic of Marketing and Sales.
I easily added 10K+ in monthly revenue by implementing the steps she'd shown me, and that's nowhere near the rewards a JV, that Regina also helped me set up, have brought to my business.
Regina is definitely one of the best coaches that knows how to marry theory and experience together perfectly.

★★★★★
Before participating in Regina’s coaching program, I was pulled in various directions. But, as a result of her clear, concise, structured, coaching, I’m focused and aligned with my work... all in a matter of a few short weeks.
Regina’s ongoing coaching, training, energy, and enthusiasm motivates me to keep up the momentum.She understands the challenges I face, and coaches accordingly, so that I can avoid overwhelm and share my value with confidence and authority.
If you’re seeking a coach who’s sincere, looks out for your best interest, dishes out generous dollops of value and gives first class support, help + feedback, without reservation, I highly recommend Regina’s coaching program/service.
It’ll be one of the best investments you’ll ever make, because you’ll get the whole enchilada and then some!
Scott Seideman
I tried to go into this meeting with my mind open to the possibility that there are effective marketing strategies I haven’t explored yet.
After listening to my sob story for a few minutes, Regina shifted the conversation to what we haven’t done. This was one of the areas I thought she really demonstrated her polish and professionalism.
I’d also like to add that I’ve never seen anyone manage a consult call more effectively and efficiently. Just being able to watch her manage our call was its own masterclass.
FAQs
Bridgeport Strategy focuses on core diagnostics, assessments, and implementation roadmaps. For our signature executive-level coaching, strategic facilitation, and profit-acceleration workshops, please visit or inquire through our sister brand,
The CEO Holy Grail.
What is the typical duration of a consulting engagement with Bridgeport Strategy?
Engagement length varies based on your needs and objectives, but most projects fall into one of these timeframes:
Short‐Term Diagnostic & Workshop (1–3 Weeks)
Diagnostic Assessment Only: If you simply want a rapid Profit Acceleration or Leadership Alignment Assessment and high‐level findings, we typically deliver that in 7–10 days.
Single Workshop (Half‐Day or Full‐Day): A standalone Alignment Workshop, Innovation Catalyst session, or Sales Mastery Bootcamp is scheduled and completed within one or two weeks (including prep and debrief).
Focused Implementation & Coaching (1–3 Months)
Tactical Improvement Projects: For targeted initiatives—such as streamlining a key process, rolling out a new pricing model, or conducting a small pilot for market expansion—we work together for 6–12 weeks. This includes discovery, facilitated sessions, hands‐on implementation support, and a final wrap‐up report.
Executive Coaching Package (3–4 Months): If you engage in our Executive Presence or Leadership Accelerator coaching, most clients commit to a 3-month cycle. During that time, we conduct 4–6 coaching sessions, assign leadership exercises, and track progress.
Comprehensive Strategy & Transformation (4–9 Months)
Strategic Planning Facilitation: A full 2-day off-site workshop followed by 3–4 months of roadmap execution support—facilitating stakeholder interviews, developing a detailed strategic plan, and monitoring early milestones.
Profit Acceleration Engagement: For a deeper revenue-growth and margin-enhancement initiative, we often work over 4–6 months—conducting a full diagnostic, prioritizing improvement projects, guiding cross-functional teams, and measuring results.
Change Management & Culture Transformation: If you’re embedding a new change-readiness framework or shifting organizational culture, the typical timeline is 6–9 months to allow for initial planning, rollout of communication plans, training, and reinforcement cycles.
Ongoing Advisory Retainer (6–12 Months or Longer) Some clients choose a retainer relationship—meeting monthly or quarterly to review financial and operational KPIs, provide ongoing coaching, and adjust strategies as the business evolves. These retainers often run 6–12 months to ensure continuous improvement and sustained momentum.
How to Determine the Right Timeline for You:
Scope & Complexity: Larger initiatives (e.g., full‐scale market expansion or organization-wide change management) naturally require more time for stakeholder alignment, execution, and measurement.
Desired Outcomes: If you simply want a quick pulse check on profitability, a 2-week assessment may suffice.
If your goal is to transform leadership culture, plan for at least 4–6 months. Resource Availability: We work around your team’s bandwidth. If your leadership can dedicate 2–3 hours per week, multi-month projects remain realistic. If schedules are tighter, we can condense workshops into focused sprints.
Next Steps During our initial discovery call, we’ll clarify your top priorities and recommend a timeline that aligns with your goals and constraints. From there, we’ll deliver a proposed project plan with milestones and a targeted end date—so you know exactly what to expect and when.
How do you ensure confidentiality and data protection?
Client confidentiality and data protection are paramount at Bridgeport Strategy. We adhere to strict confidentiality agreements and employ secure methods of data handling and storage to protect sensitive information.
We prioritize your privacy and safeguard all sensitive information through a combination of policies, technologies, and best practices:
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) - Before any engagement begins, we sign a comprehensive NDA outlining what information must remain confidential. This agreement covers all data you share—financials, strategic plans, employee details, and proprietary processes.
For virtual meetings, we rely on Zoom or Microsoft Teams with waiting rooms and meeting passwords enabled to prevent unauthorized access.
Compliance with Industry Regulations -Although we work primarily with U.S.-based mid-market firms, our processes align with GDPR and CCPA principles (even if not strictly required).
Can Bridgeport Strategy help our company with market expansion?
Absolutely. We guide companies through every step of successful market expansion—including:
Market Research & Analysis Conducting thorough market scans to identify growth opportunities, assess competitive landscapes, and understand customer needs in target regions or segments.
Performing SWOT analyses and sizing potential markets so you invest in the highest-return opportunities.
Entry Strategy & Positioning Crafting a clear, differentiated value proposition tailored to your new market—so you stand out from established competitors.
Advising on pricing models, distribution channels, and partnership or alliance strategies to accelerate traction.
Go-To-Market Planning Developing an actionable launch plan with timelines, budgets, and key milestones (e.g., local marketing campaigns, sales training, channel partner onboarding).
Designing custom sales and marketing collateral that resonates with local buyer personas and decision-making processes.
Operational Readiness Ensuring your organization is prepared to scale: assessing supply-chain capabilities, regulatory or compliance requirements, and staffing needs. Recommending process improvements and systems (e.g., CRM configurations, reporting dashboards) to support multi-market operations.
Pilot Testing & Iteration Running a small-scale pilot or soft launch to validate assumptions, gather customer feedback, and refine messaging before a full roll-out. Using real-time data to adjust tactics—whether that’s revising pricing, tweaking product features, or reallocating marketing spend.
We focus on proven frameworks that major market-entry firms use—tailored specifically for mid-market organizations. Whether you’re entering a neighboring state, expanding into a new vertical, or exploring international opportunities, our structured approach ensures you hit the ground running while managing risk and maximizing ROI.

What makes Bridgeport Strategy different from other consulting firms?
While many consulting firms offer strategy and advisory services, Bridgeport Strategy stands out in several key ways—especially for mid‐market companies seeking both high‐level insight and hands‐on execution support.
Here are our primary differentiators:
Integrated Business & Leadership Expertise:
Holistic, Dual-Lens Approach: We don’t just deliver strategic roadmaps; we embed leadership development, change-management tactics, and team-engagement best practices into every engagement. That means you get both the “what to do” and the “how to lead people through it.”
Founder-Led Delivery:
Bridgeport Strategy Engagements: Regina Partain Bergman serves as your primary coach and consultant for all Bridgeport Strategy projects. You’ll work directly with her—never passed off to a junior team member—ensuring consistency, expertise, and personal accountability from kickoff through execution.
The CEO Holy Grail Programs: For our signature executive coaching and profit-acceleration workshops under The CEO Holy Grail brand, Regina co-leads each engagement alongside her partner, Dr. Asha Mankowska. Together, they combine their complementary expertise in leadership development and strategic growth to deliver a unified, high-impact experience.
Tailored, Data-Driven Frameworks—Not Cookie-Cutter Templates
Proprietary Assessment Tools: Our Profit Acceleration Assessment and Leadership Alignment Survey go far beyond generic checklists. They produce quantifiable, organization-specific insights and scorecards so you can see exactly where the levers for growth and alignment lie.
Customized Roadmaps: Instead of generic “best practice” recommendations, we co-create your implementation plan based on real data, stakeholder interviews, and your unique culture. Each initiative is prioritized for ROI, feasibility, and impact, so you’re not wasting bandwidth on low-value activities.
Hands-On Implementation & Accountability Beyond PowerPoint: Many consultants walk away after delivering a slide deck. We stay engaged through execution—facilitating workshops, coaching individual leaders, and keeping project teams on track until objectives are met.
Built-In Metrics & Dashboards: From Day 1, we establish a simple KPI dashboard (often hosted via HighLevel or your existing BI tool) so you can see weekly progress. We hold ourselves—and your team—accountable to those metrics, adjusting tactics in real time if something isn’t moving the needle.
Boutique Firm Agility with Comprehensive Capabilities:
Small-Firm Responsiveness: As a boutique consultancy, we’re nimble. You won’t be treated like “just another account.” We respond quickly to pivots, ad hoc crises, or emerging opportunities—without the bureaucratic delays of a larger firm.
Full Suite of Services: Unlike single-specialty outfits, we bring expertise across diagnostic assessments, operational efficiency, change management, and strategic facilitation under the Bridgeport Strategy umbrella. For our signature leadership coaching, profit-acceleration workshops, and sales mastery programs, we partner with The CEO Holy Grail—allowing you to work seamlessly with one team for everything from aligning your executive function to optimizing your P&L.
Seamless Tech-Enabled Delivery:
Integrated HighLevel Automations: We leverage HighLevel workflows, membership portals, and AI-powered tools to streamline communication, automate follow-up, and track engagement metrics—saving your team hours of manual coordination.
Digital Knowledge Transfer: All deliverables—workbooks, playbooks, recorded training sessions, and dashboards—are stored in a centralized, secure portal for easy access. Whether you need to review a recording from last month’s alignment workshop or download the latest Profit Acceleration scorecard, everything is at your fingertips.
Risk-Mitigated Engagements & Pilot Options:
Satisfaction-Focused Guarantee: If, after our initial workshop or first 30 days of coaching, you don’t feel we’re delivering value, we’ll either re-scope the engagement at no additional charge or refund a portion of your fee. We measure our success by your satisfaction and outcomes—not just by hours billed.
Strategic Partnership with The CEO Holy Grail:
Extended Capabilities: For clients needing high-level executive coaching, profit-acceleration workshops, or immersive leadership accelerators, we collaborate directly with The CEO Holy Grail. This strategic partnership ensures that you receive best-in-class content and facilitation—backed by two brands committed to leadership excellence.
Cross-Brand Synergy: If you engage Bridgeport Strategy for diagnostics and implementation and later decide to scale your executive coaching or advisory services, you can seamlessly transition to The CEO Holy Grail’s offerings—without relearning new frameworks or onboarding new teams.
Deep Focus on Mid-Market Companies ( $10M–$100M Revenue ):
Tailored for Growth-Stage Needs: Many large consulting firms focus on Fortune 500 mandates, while smaller coaches target solopreneurs. We specialize in mid-market dynamics—where processes are still flexible, budgets allow for meaningful change, and leadership teams are open to rapid transformation.
Industry-Agnostic, Yet Experience-Rich: We’ve worked with clients in construction, professional services (CPAs, law firms), manufacturing, and select high-growth non-profits. Our frameworks are versatile enough to adapt to any sector, but we never use “off-the-shelf” approaches—each engagement is deeply rooted in your industry’s nuances.
Emphasis on Sustainable, Long-Term Impact Not a One-Hit Wonder: We’re as invested in your performance six months— or a year—from now as we are in the initial wins. That means building internal capabilities: training your leaders to facilitate future strategy sessions, coaching your emerging managers to adopt new decision-making frameworks, and embedding continuous improvement rituals within your day-to-day.
Culture of Continuous Learning: Through follow-up surveys, quarterly check-ins, and optional retainer arrangements, we make sure the improvements stick. If engagement flattens or new challenges arise, we’re there to refine the approach and keep you on a trajectory of sustained growth.
In Summary, Bridgeport Strategy combines the responsiveness and personal touch of a boutique consultancy with the breadth of expertise traditionally found only at larger firms. We fuse data-driven diagnostics with hands-on implementation, leadership development with operational efficiency, and tailored roadmaps with robust follow-through. Our partnership with The CEO Holy Grail further extends our capabilities for clients seeking top-tier executive coaching and profit-acceleration workshops. In short, if you want a consultancy that truly rolls up its sleeves, aligns with your vision, and ensures real, measurable outcomes—Bridgeport Strategy is your ideal partner.
How do Bridgeport Strategy and The CEO Holy Grail relate?
Bridgeport Strategy is our consulting arm, focused on diagnostics, data-driven roadmaps, and operational implementation.
The CEO Holy Grail is our executive coaching and high-impact workshop brand—co-founded by Regina and Dr. Asha Mankowska—to help CEOs and leadership teams accelerate profitability, scale without burnout, and build world-class cultures. Depending on your needs, you may engage with one or both entities.
What outcomes can I expect, and how long does it take to see results?
