BRENDA BLACKBURN--Author and Speaker.
Brenda Blackburn is an experienced personal development coach and motivational speaker. She attained her Life Coach and Employment Counselor designations through a local BC university, while practicing in both capacities professionally (group facilitation with one-to-one) since 1996. Her program development and curriculum writing have met with Private Post-Secondary Education Accreditation guidelines, as well as with federal and provincial criteria necessary for facilitating government contracted Employment and Life Skill programs. As well, she has been a leadership and employee trainer for various corporations since 1991. Her contracts have included employment agencies, non-profit organizations, post-secondary schools, international corporations, a national union, as well as private one-to-one coaching sessions. She also continues to be a guest speaker at various public post-secondary institutions and networking groups. She holds memberships with a variety of associations including; International Association of Coaches, ENET-Education and Networking for Rehabilitation and Career Practitioners, Adult Educators, Association of Holistic Practitioners, UCFV Alumni Association, the Institute of Noetic Science (International and Regional), International Women's Writing Guild and many others.
Her speaking style is enthusiastic, engaging and genuine. Professional and personable, she not only motivates, but empowers others to discover their own inspiration they have within themselves.
Brenda's greatest joy has been to watch as her clients have positively transformed their lives, lived their dreams and bettered their worlds, as they created both the present moment and future they desired. These experiences have had such a heart-felt impact on her, that she felt compelled to share the wisdom and philosophy that positively inspired and transformed her life and the lives of many. In answer to clients' requests, she decided to put all of her learning, teachings, and insights into a book so that it could be more widely accessible to the public. This, her second book, is due to be released later in 2008.
Her first book is a pocketbook entitled, "Breathe: How to Keep Your Cool at Work (or anywhere else)", and was originally designed as a training complement for her full-day workshop of the same name.
