About Brandi

I coach emerging and next-generation leaders through the moments where career growth starts requiring a different version of them. For 15+ years, I have worked across employee experience, talent development, people strategy, recruiting, finance, and leadership programs at The Walt Disney Company and NBCUniversal. My work has centered on helping people and organizations improve the way work actually feels, especially during moments of transition, growth, and pressure. Today, I run my own practice specializing in employee experience and next-generation leadership, with a focus on helping people prepare for, step into, and grow through the first few years of leading others. This stage can be incredibly formative. It's where people begin moving from being responsible for their own performance to being responsible for communication, trust, expectations, feedback, decision-making, team dynamics, and the experience others have at work because of them. My coaching is grounded in practical leadership development, employee experience strategy, and real-world organizational behavior. I help clients make sense of the situations that don't always show up in a leadership book: the direct report who needs more structure, the senior leader who gives vague feedback, the conversation you are avoiding, the team dynamic that feels off, the pressure to be liked and respected, and the fear that you are supposed to know how to handle all of it already. My approach is thoughtful, direct, and highly practical. I ask questions that help clients get underneath the obvious problem and identify what is really happening. From there, we build language, decisions, and next steps that feel clear, usable, and aligned with the kind of leader they want to become. I have supported thousands of employees and leaders across complex organizations, and I bring that pattern recognition into every coaching conversation. I understand the business side of leadership, but I also understand the human side: the self-doubt, the overthinking, the pressure, the identity shift, and the desire to lead well without losing yourself. I work best with people who are ambitious, reflective, and ready to grow, but who want practical support instead of generic advice. My goal is to help clients become more grounded, more confident, and more effective in the moments that will shape their leadership reputation for years to come.
