About Me

I'm Brenda Lilly, dedicated to helping women rediscover purpose and passion in both their careers and personal lives. My mission is to guide you towards holistic transformation, focusing on your whole self.

With over 20 years of experience leading projects and driving transformation across various industries, I bring a unique blend of skills to my coaching practice. My journey, shaped by resilience and a desire to uplift others, began with witnessing the struggles of women in my family. This inspired me to empower myself and now, to empower others like you.

My expertise in leadership, project management, and digital transformation, honed through advanced education at prestigious institutions, translates directly into powerful coaching strategies. I've completed the Executive Women's Leadership Program at Yale, the Thayer Executive Leadership Program at West Point, and other leadership programs at other institutions. These experiences have taught me to:

Break complex goals into manageable steps

Weave innovative ideas into practical solutions

Prioritize client satisfaction in everything I do

Design high-quality, user-focused experiences

Foster effective collaboration and inspire teams

This approach has not only earned me accolades like the CIO Excellence Award but also enabled me to help clients achieve remarkable breakthroughs. For instance, I recently guided a mid-career professional to successfully transition into a leadership role in a new industry, balancing her career growth with personal fulfillment.

What truly drives me is connecting with women who feel unfulfilled or stuck. Through empathy, honesty, and a commitment to continuous growth, I help my clients turn doubts into confidence and careers into sources of joy.

When I'm not coaching, you'll find me volunteering at my twins' school, trying out new recipes to share with friends and family, or practicing Pilates. I'm passionate about continuous learning, whether it's exploring new cultures through travel or diving into home improvement projects. These activities not only fuel my creativity but also keep me grounded and connected to my community.

Ready to start your transformation? Let's connect and craft your unique path to a fulfilling career and life. Because it's never too late to pursue the future you deserve – in every aspect of your life.
