“Brenda is a very thoughtful and caring individual.  Over the years I have leveraged her coaching many times.  No matter how busy she has been, she has always made time for me, and provided me with the coaching I needed.  I love how she frequently asks me questions that make me think differently about a situation, and ultimately to come up with my own solutions.  She is exceptionally ethical, and always helps look for a solution that is in the best interests of all parties.  Brenda puts people first.”
(Business Unit Director, Pharmaceutical)

“Brenda is an empathetic, insightful, analytical coach and a great business leader.  As a coach, she asks insightful questions and knows how to push and prompt the people she is coaching - to listen to what they are saying, analyze problems from all angles, come up with a few courses of action and choose one.  She is a great listener and mirrors what the person being coached is telling her in a non-judgmental way.  She helps the people she is coaching - whether individuals or groups - really analyze what they are saying, feeling and want to do about it.”
(Bioscience Executive)

 “Compassionate, caring, giving, insightful, intelligent, great listener.  She guides you through asking the right questions to get to a solution / insight.  She gets you thinking and always leaves you feeling better than when you started that conversation.  A truly great coach and partner.”  
(Finance Director)

“Brenda is good at letting people speak and listening attentively and then asks questions to project forward.  She forces you to think.  What I want to get from a coach is to know you have that person in your life to talk things out with in a safe environment. I don’t want to be told what to do holistically, but gentle guidance and have questions to stop and reflect to solve my own problems to solve on my own.  Leaving feel lighter…I have more clarity and more hopeful.“
(National Sales Leader)

“Brenda you have a respectful, professional, supportive coaching presence setting a tone of comfort for the conversation. You tracked your coachee through your ability to reframe what you are hearing, creating energy for them to be seen, heard, and understood.  Your gift of attentively listening with empathy invited your coachee to open up and explore all the elements of their issue, as vulnerable as they may be; this says a great deal of the trust you have built."
