COACHING
PHILOSOPHY
Coaching is the bridge between rumination and action.
If there's one thing I know, it's that you know what's best. Yes, you. Our sessions won’t resemble an advice column or an AI answer. Those are fun, but this isn’t that.
Your job is to arrive with an open mind. Aside from that, you can be confused, afraid, energized, or even weird. My job is to listen, stay curious, and support your next steps.
I believe that in life design, two heads are better than one.
I’ve coached hundreds of people amid career transitions and across industries.

CLIENT SUCCESS
“I’m finally excited about my career again!”
Brenda's coaching guided me as I started my own business, helping me take it from an abstract idea to fully formed. We developed strategies and a timeline so that I felt confident as I left a full-time job and struck out on my own.
— Amber, Consultant
“We could all use more Brendas in our lives!”
Brenda has that unique ability to understand what you’re going through no matter what industry or background you come from.
— Christina, Content Creator
“I got the job!”
Brenda identified the most important skills and assets from my previous work experience and helped me explain how those skills could benefit a different industry.
— Faye, Executive Director
“I can’t recommend her services enough!”
Brenda has a truly unique ability to ask the right questions, reframe challenges, and help navigate ambiguity in a way that feels organic and rooted in creative problem-solving. I had never explored coaching prior to working with her, and her openness and curiosity helped me approach my work in an entirely new light.
— Deniz, Marketing Manager
“Brenda’s superpower is uncovering the truth.”
She has endless curiosity, empathy, and patience. She will help you discover things about yourself and your business that would have taken years to access yourself.
— Anna, Product Designer
“Amazing!”
I’ve never had a cooler looking resume. I would actually be proud to send this out!
— Jessica, Comedian & Producer
MEET BRENDA
I’m guided by three core beliefs: daydreaming is research, resonance is data, and starting reveals what planning can’t.
Before becoming a certified coach, I spent a decade as a project manager at agencies and nonprofits. I balanced emotion with logic to support teams that elevated design at companies like Capital One and Adobe. In my work with museums, I opened over 25 exhibitions on topics ranging from Walt Disney to the Wild West.
Then, I had a profound realization: I’m at my best when empowering others. This insight inspired a shift from management to coaching, where I now help individuals flourish through self-awareness and intentional choices.
I live with my husband and our energetic 5-year-old in Lisbon, Portugal. Together, we share a love for art and travel. I’m an obsessive listener of podcasts and audiobooks, so hit me with your recs. If I ever write a memoir, it’ll be titled "The Hazards of Being an Optimist."
In short, I make ideas happen.

Coaching differs from therapy, mentorship, and consulting in several key ways. Specifically, the process emphasizes looking forward and centers your deep (and often untapped!) knowledge of self. Coaches are not qualified to address mental health concerns.
