Author - International Motivational Speaker, Growth Facilitator - Consultant & coach

With a focus on balanced living, I provide inspiration for events and assist companies in building team connection through motivational speeches and interactive workshops. While I specialize in real estate, my messaging caters to all industries, associations, and companies looking for team building and growth opportunities.

Hi there, I'm Brandi

After 20 years in commercial property management, I know what it takes to build strong, high-performing teams in stressful environments and my experience has taught me the importance of balance in both personal and professional life. My passion is in helping others discover their own balance through messaging focused on self-kindness and discarding expectations and outdated societal beliefs. Using leadership skills gained over 30+ years, I work to help bring teams together, empower leaders, and guide individuals in rediscovering their passion for work, life and everything in between.My mission is to create positive change for individuals by helping them rediscover balance in life and thereby reintroducing a balanced human experience in the world. I believe the best way to achieve this is through encouraging individuals to connect with others from a place of kindness and to do so in a way that invites all voices endeavoring to create positive change to the table.

Why the focus on balance?

At a time when extreme messages are at the forefront and steadiness is particularly difficult to find, the message of balanced living is not only popular, it’s paramount for all professionals. My message is about self-kindness, discovering balance, letting go of expectations, and discarding outdated beliefs. Through this, I encourage individuals to connect within and with others from a place of kindness. To connect in a way that invites all voices endeavoring to create positive change to the table, regardless of our collective differences.
