The All-Access 2026 Coaching Experience + In-Person Retreat
For big-hearted, ambitious women who are ready to
prioritize their well-being and elevate their leadership skills -
both personally and professionally.
“Love the community feel of the Inner Circle. It is such a magical experience to see women supporting women in such a tangible, authentic way.”
Annabelle A.
“The community, vulnerability and honesty in this group, coupled with Brenne's impressive ability to perceive humans and act as a mirror to ourselves, are what make it so unique and special.”
Valerie C.
"I value the opportunity to explore new ideas on key issues like leadership, motherhood, and sisterhood that help me to reclaim my agency, empower me to re-examine my values, goals, and dreams, and encourage me to recreate, redefine, re-strategize, and clarify my concept of success, failure, and growth."

“For me, this community is literally the most supportive place I have - to come and be myself, and to talk about things that I don't talk about anywhere else. And sometimes it requires discussing things that cause resistance or discomfort. But because we're problem-solving all of this together, I value it immensely and I can't tell you how much it's helped me grow over the last few years as well.”
Anita
Imagine what it would feel like to
*consistently* plug into:
An intimate, judgment-free community of powerhouse women who *get it*
and who want to help you navigate the conversations and dynamics that keep you up at night. Think: an on-demand support system to help you untangle the absurdity and complexity of life and work - with deep compassion, actionable strategy, and a sense of humor.
A BRAVE space to release old patterns and upgrade your self-perception
so that you can finally make peace with the mode of operating that got you here (thank you younger self!), and let go of the people-pleasing, perfectionism, and approval-seeking that makes you clench for control and certainty instead of flow with trust and curiosity.
A VIBE that soothes your nervous system and reinforces your confidence
because "we don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are." What if you made space to connect with yourself and the *quiet wisdom* that lives beneath the noise and chaos of your never-ending to-do list? What might that do for your confidence, self-trust, and personal power?
An endless supply of practical tools and soul-nourishing mentorship
to help you own your voice, your ambition, and your magic! What if you could pave a new, liberating way of navigating life and leadership for you and generations of women to come.
You Don’t Have to Hold Up the Sky Alone
It’s time to let yourself be deeply supported and empowered in community!

Our 2026 Schedule
The next step in your personal journey
Your Presence Under Pressure experience highlighted the importance of carving out protected time for yourself and your development each week.
And not just your professional development, but your personal well-being.
Now you know what's possible for your inner calm and confidence when you commit to learning and growing within a community that's rooting for you.
And not just rooting for you, but resourcing your GREATEST ASSETS
—your voice, your confidence, your intuition, and your power!
The Inner Circle takes your personal growth and transformation to the next level.
It is the number one way I know how to help you show up in your personal and professional relationships from a place of OVERFLOW and ALIGNMENT, instead of overwhelm and isolation. It's about more than just building confidence and advancing your skills...
-
It's about radically accepting who you are so you can own your voice and your power from within.
-
It's about exploring the type of revolutionary leadership it takes to thrive in today's complex work environments
-
It's about learning to network, get buy-in, or persuade others without the ick factor.
-
It's about giving feedback and coaching your colleagues in a direct, but empowering way.
-
It's about nurturing your own triggers and knee-jerk reactions when dealing with challenging situations.
... and so much more.
“Being part of a community of such thoughtful women, all of whom I respect so much, has been incredibly valuable. It's reassuring to see that genuinely impressive people still work on many of the same things I work on. More importantly, it's empowering to watch that work pay off. I love tracking other women's stories, and seeing their progress. Not to mention the fact that the group's collective creativity and wisdom is astonishingly helpful. I'm blown away by the ideas that are surfaced and the advice that is offered during our conversations.
Ultimately, this community has been both a safe space that feels deeply validating, and a place of growth that challenges me - in the most positive, empowering way imaginable - to keep expanding into the kind of person I want to be.”
Anne L.
As women, we gotta break out of our cultural conditioning to people-please and play small…
So that we can embody real, grounded confidence
from the inside out.
And there's no reason to go at it alone...
The Inner Circle can't wait to support you and bring out the best in you!

Not exactly 😉

👉 OWN your authentic communication style and LET GO of the need to please
💪 Prioritize STURDY LEADERSHIP over being "in control"
✍️ Give FEEDBACK and COACH your colleagues in a DIRECT, but EMPOWERING way
✨ RELEASE THE PRESSURE TO PROVE, so you can focus on what you're there to improve
💬 Navigate TENSE CONVERSATIONS with integrity and confidence
🤝 Get BUY-IN or persuade others without forcing it
🌱 NETWORK organically, PROMOTE yourself, and position yourself for advancement
... and so much more!

We're gonna dig deep, ditch old habits, advance your skills, and firm up an unshakeable trust in yourself.
And you know what else?
Ready to start showing up and speaking up
as the YOU, you'd look up to?
Not by proving, or pretending, or twisting yourself into a pretzel, but by honoring your instincts and sourcing your expression from a grounded and intentional place?
(like Brenda without the "da") and I'm a communication educator, leadership mentor, and confidence coach to thousands of leaders and emerging leaders around the world.
In 2018 (~6 years after returning home from the national tour of a Broadway musical and pivoting from my acting career into the world of coaching - a story for another time!), I kept butting up against a familiar impulse to PROVE myself.
Despite all the training I'd received as a coach, and the experience I'd accumulated as a workshop facilitator, I still felt like I had to "prove" my own credibility and confidence when I entered a room. The irony was that it was also my job to teach people how to project credibility and confidence...
I knew that coaching and empowering others was the path for me, but I also knew that if I was going to continue down this path, I had to:
⚡️ STOP abandoning myself to act like some perfect, polished person I thought I should be
⚡️ and START trusting myself to show up as the intrinsically powerful (and yes, imperfect) person I am.
I became determined to figure out for myself and others how to show up (and speak up!) in nerve-wracking situations with more authenticity and ease.
So after hundreds of hours of research, I developed a holistic curriculum to help big-hearted go-getters like you and me build confident communication skills from the inside out.
Not by faking it 'til we make it, but by embracing how we're wired, leveraging actionable strategies, and honoring our unique gifts.
l use SelfSpoken techniques to turn my own panic into power and everyday pressures into presence.
Like all of us, I'm a work in progress. But when the waves of adrenaline or the whispers of self-doubt inevitably flood my system, I take comfort in knowing how to find my own authentic sweet spot:
That empowering and fulfilling experience of being able to ground myself under pressure and express myself with integrity and confidence.
