HEY, I’M BRENDA.
YOUR PEOPLE PRACTITIONER
A natural initiator and leader, I am driven, decisive, independent and self-sufficient.
I value inclusivity, transparency, collaboration, diverse perspectives and the collective knowledge, skills, and experience of others.
As a Change Leader, I am passionate about the positive human experience; enabling people to think differently, organizing people to work together, and engaging people towards a common purpose.
HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER
L.O.V.E.
01 | LEAD WITH passion
This means, I am committed to fierce and compassionate curiosity, interest, and leadership —listening intently to genuinely understand diverse perspectives, provide unwavering advocacy, and doing the right thing, always.
02 | own it
This means, I am committed to taking personal responsibility, accountability, and ownership for my decisions, actions, results, and outcomes. I expect the same in return. I do not prescribe to blame, bullying, or a toxic culture.
03 | VOW TO be real
This means, I am committed to authenticity; speaking truth from a heart of peace — a heart that leads with curiosity, compassion, and courage.
04 | embrace the adventure of change
This means, I am committed to open-mindedness and a willingness to do things differently — to see every opportunity as an adventure and find creative solutions to problems.

MINDSET SHIFTS
I hypothesize that if the patterns of fear, limiting beliefs, and negative emotions are removed and replaced with new supportive belief systems, then there is a high likelihood of overcoming change resistant behavior and enabling transformative change across an organization.

AMA
Often times, I would use an Ask Me Anything forum to give large groups of people, or teams an opportunity to get questions answered about a project or change effort. Here’s the process.

STORMING
This has served me well throughout my career, “How To Overcome The Five Dysfunctions of a Team”. I’ve included a few exercises to establish Team Agreements.
