We translate your company values into simple & specific behaviors.
So that you are equipped as an authentic, inclusive leader to build your dream team.
What if...
- Your core values were a compass you could rely on to guide your most complex leadership decisions?
- You - AND your team - could describe your unique leadership style in 1 clear sentence?
- You felt confident in navigating high-stakes conversations with your fellow company leaders?
- You knew how to adapt your managerial approach to support diverse workstyles and personalities?
- You were able to effectively delegate within and empower your team, so you finally felt comfortable to take a day off without checking work email every hour?
Hi there, I'm Brenda! Leaders like you hire me to help build values-based practices & teams.
Want to align your team's processes & culture with your core values?
You're in the right place.
- YOU ARE...already a high-achiever and you're ready for more at work, like leading a larger team. You want to be known as an authentic leader - proven through your actions, not just inspiring words.
- BUT... you're not sure how exactly to get there.
- YOU NEED...specific leadership methods and skills to unlock the next level of trust, performance & collaboration within your team.
- YOU ARE...a manager who takes great care to hire smart, capable staff. You know you need to invest in skill development for your team.
- BUT...you've never designed a team training program before. And you're overwhelmed by the options out there.
- YOU NEED...a training expert to assess what your team's development needs are and deliver exceptional learning experiences so your team increases their individual and collective effectiveness - without you doing it all on your own.

- YOU ARE...building a quickly growing team and putting processes in place as you go. You are trying to anticipate your team's future needs (for the next hire, next site, next project).
- BUT...you're running at 100 miles an hour trying to keep up with the realities and needs of a growing team.
- YOU NEED...a partner to provide the structure for reflection, gathering input, and customizing research-based best practices so that your team has clearly defined goals, action plans, and a roadmap for success.
I wanted a consultant to work with our team to help define our mission and values as a company and to guide us through team-based learning about common topics like professionalism, teamwork, etc.
Working with Brenda during the course of five workshops was very constructive and
helped bring our team closer together and re-aligned us on our purpose.

Does this sound like you?
"I want our company values to mean more to our employees than conference room names."
"I wish that I didn’t feel alone as a leader trying to do it all - build a team, start a program, and shape team culture all at the same time."
"I don't know where to start when it comes to developing a team culture or learning from leadership best practices."
Translating your leadership values into specific actions doesn't have to be overwhelming.
You don't have to do it alone.
I'm here to help.
What's Fireheart, you ask?
Fireheart is one meaning of my name Brenda. "Fire" represents my vibrant characteristics like tenacity and courage. "Heart" represents my softer traits like empathy and vulnerability. Fireheart is a symbol for the values and qualities that make me who I am today, as well as a grounding reminder of who I strive to be.
In addition to being the meaning of my name, Fireheart describes my favorite type of client - leaders of growing teams who know who they are and who they want to become. They just need support getting from Point A to Point B.
Does that sound like you?
Well, my superpower is helping leaders like you make your dream leadership style and team culture a reality.
