You know what the right decision is...

but still second-guess it once the pressure kicks in.

You leave a meeting replaying everything you said...

wondering what you should've done differently.

You wonder if leadership could feel lighter...

without lowering expectations or results.

You hesitate to speak up until you're 100% sure...

and sometimes miss the moment.

You carry the weight of leadership home with you...

even when the day is technically over.

You perform well on the outside...

but inside you're working much harder than anyone realizes.

To help you through these challenges,

My Coaching Focuses on 2 experiences:

One-on-One Coaching

Transformational coaching that focuses on your goals and aspirations, so that how you want to live and lead is how you actually show up.

Links to Leadership™ ™™

A unique Leadership Development program for Leadership Presence, using golf as a mirror to identify new approaches for growth and sustainability.

Included in both experiences: the ELI Assessment

(ELI - Energy Leadership™ Index - iPEC created),

a Forbes Coaches Council endorsed assessment like no other you have taken.

A Different Approach to Leadership Development

Links to Leadership™

Uses real-world golf and work parallels to make learning more engaging, practical, impactful, and fun.

The unique experience focuses on a simple, critical formula for unshakable Leadership.

Golf is the context Leadership is the work.

The Links to Leadership™ Formula:

Leadership Skills + Leadership Identity = Leadership Presence

Leadership that feels like you ... not theoretical.

Especially when you're successful on the outside,

but something feels off on the inside

Leadership Skills

Like an experienced leader, look beyond execution to understand how skills create ripple effects, shaping:

Your experience in the moment
How others respond to you
The outcomes that unfold
What becomes possible next

Use your skills to build pressure capacity in a way that actually reduces stress.

Leadership Identity

Explore the inner dialogue that quietly runs the show ...

How You Feel when you lead with strength from within ...

And what becomes possible when you trust and believe in yourself.

Your Ideal Leadership Identity shows up in every moment.

Leadership Presence

When skills and identity align, leaders move with steadiness and self-trust, responding naturally, without forcing or second-guessing ...

Feeling strong, and calm, and ready for whatever comes next.

This is what it feels like to be the the leader you always knew you were.

Stay connected to yourself, even when things get intense

Move forward with confidence in your decisions

Leadership feels more natural, not forced and draining

My Professional Bio

Achievements / Credentials

I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to have received extensive training, mentoring, and guidance from exceptional managers over the years, resulting in incredibly fulfilling experiences…

  • Achieving multiple top achievement and leadership awards

  • Receiving promoted positions, and serving on marketing advisory boards

  • Training/mentoring over 100 individuals

Following that success, it felt natural for me to pursue certified coaching through the ICF (International Coaching Federation) and iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching), totaling 420+ hours of intensive training and coaching.

  • ICF Certified Coach, ACC (Associate Certified Coach)

  • CPC (Certified Professional Coach) – iPEC

  • ELI-MP (Energy Leadership™ Index - Master Practitioner) – iPEC

  • COR.E Dynamics™ Coach, specializing in four crucial areas: Leadership, Performance, Transition, and Wellness - iPEC

Why Golf Works So Well For Leadership

You can't hide in golf. It's one of the most honest mirrors of leadership, because it reveals what shows up

'between the ears' ...

• Confidence and Self-trust

• Pressure and Recovery

• Focus vs. Distraction

• The Self-talk after a missed shot

• The ability to Stay Steady and still Enjoy the game

Leadership works the same way.

Links to Leadership™, with golf as the backdrop, creates a safe, engaging way for leaders to practice, reflect, experiment, and grow ... without judgment.

You don't need to play golf to benefit, you just need to lead.

What Links to Leadership Is All About

Leadership has two experiences happening at the same time:

The Outer Experience

What you’re doing in the moment:

Leadership Skills

They're the capabilities you draw from when leadership is required ...

your communication, decision-making,

problem-solving, and actions (as others experience them).

In the moment, this looks like:
What you say

How you decide

Where you focus

How you move situations forward.

Why it matters:
Your leadership becomes visible, and your skills shape trust, momentum, and results ...
influencing how others experience your leadership and whether progress feels clear

or complicated.

The Inner Experience

What you’re thinking & feeling in the moment:

Leadership Identity


It's your inner experience shaping how you lead (and usually never said out loud)...


your thoughts, self-talk, emotions, and what you take things to mean about yourself as situations unfold.

In the moment, this looks like:
What you tell yourself before you speak

How you interpret pressure

Who you become when expectations are high

Why it matters:
Your inner experience quietly influences your confidence, clarity, and presence ...
affecting whether your leadership feels steady and aligned, or tense and effortful.

Your skills are always expressed through your

Inner Experience.

Links to Leadership™ helps leaders align the two,

so how you lead finally matches who you know yourself to be.

At A Glance:

How The Program Works 💼

Links to Leadership™ is a 3-stage leadership development program,

preceded by the Energy Leadership Index™ (ELI) Assessment and a personalized Zoom debrief.

Recognized by the Forbes Coaches Council as the #3 Assessment Every Executive Should Take, the ELI provides clear insight into how leaders experience leadership ... both in everyday moments and under stress ...creating a powerful baseline for growth.

(Additional ELI details below)

Stage 1

The Practice Range

Here, we look at leadership skills under pressure, and through the multi-dimensional lens of high-level leadership:

How it impacts your own effectiveness

How it impacts the experience of others

How it impacts the desired outcomes

What opportunities and possibilities the skill creates with elite application.

This perspective allows leaders to move beyond normal execution and into strategic, forward-thinking leadership.

This stage often brings a surprising realization:

Increasing your capacity for pressure optimizes your capabilities ... so that you don't need to sacrifice sanity to succeed.

Stage 2

The Mastery Clinic

This stage brings awareness to the inner experience of leadership ...

the internal messages and patterns that support peak performance, as well as those that may unintentionally hold you back.

It allows leaders to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and authenticity

under pressure.

Participants explore their ideal Leadership Identity by examining...

values, purpose, motivation, capability,

possibility, opportunity, and energy

... and how they work to create exceptional leadership that people naturally follow.

  Feel your old internal narratives loosen, clarity increase, and your leadership become more grounded, self-directed, and aligned with who you are.

Stage 3

The Championship Tournament

Leadership Skills + Leadership Identity = Leadership Presence

Participants practice integrating Leadership Skills and Identity to create their personal Leadership Presence ... using real-world, high-pressure scenarios.

This stage strengthens leaders’ ability to remain clear, confident, and intentional, allowing leadership to show up consistently under pressure. 

This stage fills in the missing link

You're reconnecting with who you are while doing the work ... creating confidence and steadiness that carries into every situation.

“I lead from who I am, wherever I am.”

Optional

Experiential Add-On:

The L2L 18-Hole Leadership Challenge™

Organizations may choose to add an optional L2L 18-hole Leadership Challenge™ designed to bring learning to life.

Each hole includes a custom golf / leadership prompt or challenge, creating a memorable way to practice focus, communication, confidence, and application in real time.

This on-course experience can be:

     • Adapted for non-golfers

     • Designed for individuals or teams

 

The purpose is simple: to integrate learning in a fun, meaningful, and practical way, while reinforcing confidence and connection.

* Some groups choose to include the challenge at the conclusion of a specific stage, while others use it as a capstone experience after the full program.

Tools for Leadership Insight

ELI Assessment*...

The Foundational Insight Tool

Lasting leadership growth doesn’t start with more effort.
It starts with understanding what’s happening on the inside, especially under pressure.

The Energy Leadership Index™ (ELI) Assessment is a research-based, proprietary assessment that supports your leadership journey by revealing how you experience, interpret, and respond to challenges in real time.

Recognized by the Forbes Coaches Council as #3, of the top assessments every executive should take, the ELI provides a clear, non-judgmental snapshot of your inner experience ... both when things are going well and when demands are high.

Each participant completes the ELI Assessment and receives a personalized, Zoom-delivered debrief, translating insight into clarity, language, and practical awareness.

What the ELI Reveals

The ELI brings visibility to patterns that often operate beneath the surface, including:

How you naturally respond to pressure and challenge

What truly motivates your decisions and actions

Where your energy is drained ... and where it’s restored

What fuels confidence, engagement, and clarity

Habitual patterns that may be limiting performance without your awareness

This awareness becomes a powerful turning point for many:

“This explains so much.”

“I finally understand why I react the way I do.”

“Now I know what to work on ... and why.”

Why This Matters

Most leaders have never experienced an assessment like this;

One that reflects who they are, without judgment ... not what they're missing or failing to be.

The ELI reveals potential... and opportunity.

Leaders gain insight that allows their authentic leadership to emerge, so growth feels natural, not forced.

The Result

Leaders gain clear, non-judgmental insight into how they lead, without being labeled or put into a box.

They see their inner experience dynamically:
how they think, interpret situations, and respond under both normal conditions and pressure.

This awareness creates choice, where leaders ...

Recognize habitual patterns as learned defaults impacting performance

Gain a shared language to understand themselves & others

Intentionally choose how they want to show up.

The ELI doesn’t prescribe change... It provides clarity ... and that clarity becomes the foundation for authentic leadership growth.

ELI Options Available:
➤ Individual Leaders (ELI)
➤ Leadership Teams & Groups (ELI for Groups)
➤ Organizational & Leadership Development (ELI 360)

My Why

I’ve always been drawn to growth ... not as pressure, but as an invitation to see what’s possible. I’m at my best when I’m learning, being challenged, having fun, and helping others succeed in ways that actually matter to them.

During my years in corporate sales and leadership, I saw something that stuck with me. Even highly capable, successful people can slowly lose themselves under constant expectations and unrelenting pressure. Not because they aren’t strong ... but because they’ve been carrying too much, for too long.

I also saw the shift that happens when someone reconnects with who they are, clarifies what matters, and starts leading from alignment instead of effort. Leadership gets lighter. Decisions get clearer. Energy returns.

That’s why I do this work.

I believe work should energize you, not drain you ... and that real success comes from leading as your full and aligned self… with confidence, clarity, and presence.

If this resonates, it’s not an accident.
It’s an invitation ... and an opportunity for us both.

What I Do

I create opportunities that empower people to transform how they experience their work, their leadership,

and themselves.

Leaders reconnect with who they already are, what matters most to them, and how they want to live and lead.

Along the way, a shift happens:

People stop asking,

"What’s wrong with me?"

And begin to ask ...

"What would be possible if I allowed myself to lead this way?"

Leaders begin to trust themselves more deeply. Decisions feel clearer. Leadership feels steadier.

Confidence comes from within ... not from proving.

No longer on autopilot, they begin to see opportunity more clearly, and work becomes more meaningful.

Leadership more authentic. Life opens up with more space for connection, enjoyment, and growth.

That is what aligned leadership makes possible... living the life you acually want to live.

I believe work should bring out the best in you, not drain you.

So, that when someone asks, "How was your day?",

you can say, "It was great.", and actually mean it.

See What Clients Are Saying About Brenda

“Coaching with Brenda is the thing I didn’t realize I needed. When I began our sessions, I was actively advocating for myself and a promotion at work. I was working long hours taking on a workload I thought would identify me as deserving of this promotion. I thought I was doing the right things. Brenda was able to troubleshoot what and how I communicated to better support my self-advocacy. The increased understanding of the impact of my verbal and non-verbal communication was pivotal in the weeks leading up to my offer in the new role. I also had the confidence to negotiate the initial salary proposal. Once in the new role, I continue to use these tools to establish myself as a clear and effective communicator, while maintaining healthier boundaries. I did not initially think I needed coaching or would benefit as much as I did. My growth has been a tremendously welcomed surprise.”
- S.P. - Massachusetts

“Working with Brenda exceeded all of my expectations of what my coaching experience was going to be. She helped me identify opportunities to change my thought patterns that immediately resulted in positive outcomes, and removed mental blocks so I could act on opportunities I was too afraid to take. Her coaching style was concise, fun, patient, and supportive. I am more aware of who I am and empowered to work on new thought patterns that will allow more joy in my life. This was the best investment in myself!”
J.L. – New Hampshire

“I highly recommend Brenda as a coach. The coaching sessions have been tremendously beneficial for me. I'm an "A type" personality, and my interaction with younger co-workers or subordinates had been at times “rough around the edges”. I met with Brenda bi-monthly for four months. During this time, we discussed approaches and tactics on how to effectively manage different personalities in the workplace. The strategies and insights I learned have helped to change how I interact with co-workers and have made these interactions more of a positive experience. I cannot thank or recommend Brenda enough. ”
J.F. – New Hampshire

“Brenda’s coaching facilitated a strong start to my sales career! Her sessions helped me erase any blocks to my success. Brenda coached how to think big and I achieved big! I learned behaviors that allowed me to connect with my customers. I’m very happy with the results and positivity the coaching provided.”
- M.A. New Hampshire

“I had the incredible opportunity of working with Brenda who has truly made a profound impact on my life. Her guidance and support have been instrumental in helping me navigate through various challenges and achieve personal and professional growth. What sets Brenda apart as a coach is her ability to listen attentively and empathize with my concerns. She creates a safe and non-judgmental space, allowing me to explore my thoughts and behaviors. Her insightful questions and thought-provoking exercises have provided valuable insights and a deeper understanding of myself. I appreciate Brenda’s commitment in helping me set goals and her encouragement and guidance have helped me overcome obstacles to make positive changes. Brenda is motivating and empowering in her approach with a holistic focus on well-being. I recommend Brenda for anyone seeking positive changes and personal growth. She has a genuine passion for helping others and this, combined with her expertise, makes her an exceptional guide on the path to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.”
- A.H., Ohio

“At a pivotal point with a career transition decision, Brenda guided me through a practice where I not only felt a shift, I knew what my next steps were to take action.”
- J.C., Massachusetts

Frequently Asked Questions

It's completely natural to have questions about the coaching process, especially if you're wondering how it can help you. Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.

If you're wondering about anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me for further information. I'm happy to be of help.

Answers To Commonly Asked Questions

What is the process?

It all begins with the Discovery Call where we have the opportunity to connect and delve into your goals.  During this call, we’ll explore how I can provide the best support for you.  It’s crucial for us to determine if we’re a good fit, and if you believe I’m the right coach for you.  Any questions you have will be answered, and I even offer an optional mini-coaching session (10 minutes) to give you a taste of what working with me will be like.  If you decide that coaching is the right path for you, we’ll then discuss and select the package that aligns best with your needs and goals.

Where do the sessions take place?

Almost all individual sessions, which typically last for one hour, are conducted virtually through Zoom or over the phone.  The only exception to this is when a session is scheduled in conjunction with a live group presentation or coaching arrangement.  It is recommended to find a quiet, safe, and confidential space that will enable you to fully concentrate and make the most of your session.  The group or team sessions, usually 90 minutes in length, can be held virtually or in person, depending on the needs and preferences of the group.

How long are the coaching programs and how much do they cost?

The typical coaching package consists of 12 sessions over a span of 6 months.  However, it’s understandable that every individual or group has unique needs, so tailored packages to accommodate those specific needs are available.  The cost of the package is determined based on the scope of the engagement, which we discuss during the Discovery Call.  This ensures that we fully understand your goals and that I can provide the appropriate support.  Throughout the coaching process, my priority is to regularly check in with you to ensure that you are making the desired progress towards your goals.  Additionally, at the conclusion of the initial package, I offer renewal and maintenance packages to support you on your journey.  I’m here for you and fully committed to providing the guidance and support you need to achieve your goals.

How is coaching different from therapy?

All In Sync Coaching relationships strictly adhere to the ICF code of ethics and competencies.  My coaching approach partners with you in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires personal and professional growth, without offering advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Together, we seek to unlock your inner knowledge to discover the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that will support your journey toward success.  Through coaching, the aim is to increase your awareness of any limiting mindsets and help you overcome them, enabling the development of new, empowering mindsets.  An important note…if the need arises for deep healing of the past, overcoming trauma, or any medical need, a referral to an appropriate professional will be provided for further support and guidance.

Is coaching confidential?

Yes, client coaching is held in strict confidentiality, and I prioritize the privacy and trust of all clients.  The signed client contract clearly outlines the details of confidentiality, so that all parties understand the nature and scope of the agreement.  If a client has a sponsor who pays for the sessions, the contract will clearly state, and be agreed upon by all parties, the nature and scope of the confidentiality.  This approach allows us to maintain a confidential and secure environment for clients to freely express themselves and work toward their goals.

How long will it take me to see results?

All In Sync Coaching interactions are client-centered, acknowledging that clients are responsible for their own choices, efforts, behaviors, thoughts, and growth.  Clients have the freedom to choose session topics, goals, measures of success and accountability.  Coaching provides processes and concepts that promote open-mindedness, curiosity, and flexibility, creating an environment for continuous learning and development.  In life, goals could sometimes be easier or more challenging than originally anticipated, and sometimes we shift gears in the middle.  Timelines may need to be reset to meet life’s demands.  It’s all okay, and perfectly normal.  If you notice progress, internally and/or externally, you will see your life beginning to transform.  Ultimately, you have the power to determine your thoughts, efforts, goals, and progress on your journey to achieve results.  In Sync Coaching is here to provide unwavering support every step of the way.
