Brenda Goodwin | Executive Coach
Brenda has over 30 years experience as a scientist, executive, consultant, and coach. In her coaching practice she likes to, “meet the client where they are.” She leverages her experience as a manager and consultant and uses an integral approach to help her clients develop core competencies that enable them to excel not only in their work, but in all areas of their lives. Building self-awareness, she helps clients observe and assess their automatic habits and patterns of action to achieve better results. By offering powerful distinctions, Brenda helps them expand how they view the world, see new possibilities, and take new action. Using empathetic listening, insight, and compassion she helps her clients build the emotional intelligence they need to deliver rapid and long-lasting results in people and in intensive business environments.
Prior to founding her own coaching and consulting firm, Brenda had 20 years of experience working for Fortune 100 companies including DuPont, UGI, Merck & Company Inc., Johnson & Johnson, and Sunmark Industries, a division of Sunoco Oil Company.
