Earlier in her career, Brenda was paralyzed when public speaking, she struggled with conflict and was overly reactive at times. When practicing mindfulness daily, Brenda noticed a shift. Gradually, life started to flow easier, she was more comfortable speaking publicly and was able to maintain composure during high-pressure situations.
As a result of her own personal transformation, Brenda landed several executive roles at the Michigan Department of Treasury. With an extensive accounting and security background and 20 years of leadership experience, Brenda helped transform the Michigan Department of Treasury's security culture through education and the engagement of over 1,500 employees and contractors while protecting millions of taxpayers' data.
Helping others shift is Brenda's passion. With vast executive experience, her own personal transformation, and substantial mindfulness, resilience, and well-being credentials, Brenda is highly effective in both corporate and group sessions.
