CLIENT REVIEWS

Positive People Impact

I've always appreciated Brandis, but I think my quote is that she's been "extra stellar." From navigating awkward engagement survey comments, trying to retain staff, budget planning
help, staff comp convos....and the list goes on), and Brandis has been such a great thought
partner. A number of these things were very sensitive in nature and I didn't necessarily have
someone at the site I could partner with on it, so knowing I have this extra teammate has been
amazing. Oh yeah, and I trust her and she gives great advice.
So overall, put me in the Brandis fan club (maybe even President)!

Executive Director - Kansas City AmeriCorps non-profit organization

One of the biggest gaps I have worried about in my development as an HR professional is my lack of
access to mentors. I worried that being "alone" at my organization would make me miss opportunities to observe
the work from someone with more experience. I am so grateful to have been a part of that conversation and hear/observe the coaching and
feedback you shared with us. It was an opportunity for me to observe an HR professional working
through a difficult problem. I am
reassured of the fact that I am not being thrown into difficult problems alone.

Director of People & Operations - Detroit area non-profit organization

You are an amazing support to your clients. Your partners benefit greatly from your strategic approach that seems to prioritize having a deep and holistic view of each of your partnerships. I wanted to go on record as saying you exceed and excel. I learn from you every time we get to connect and I am grateful for the support.

VP People Services - National education non-profit organization

I wanted to thank you again for for navigating us through our engagement survey results. Your delivery is done with
care for the team and your guidance allows for true reflection, growth, and opportunity.

SVP, People Operations - AmeriCorps national non-profit organization

Our Executive Director wanted to share how amazing you were to work with in Providence. She talked about how you came in and jumped right into what they needed. She
spoke about how much she really values your perspective and especially because you could pull examples for the work they needed done from other organizations and experiences - your ability to find pattern recognition in the work - which helped them quickly but also really showed them that they are not alone was invaluable. Your
calming presence and clear path forward for them was everything.

VP, People Experience & Culture - national AmeriCorps non-profit organization

Brandis holds the most relevant tenure and credentials. She consistently makes data informed decisions, implements her vision strategically, and builds authentic partnerships with leaders at all levels in an organization. Brandis excels at leading through influence toward a desired outcome. She does all of this effortlessly, while balancing strategic organizational priorities. Brandis always delivers on and exceeds on expected outcomes. The training that she created was relevant, timely and has proven to be invaluable. By prioritizing accountability, agency, and authenticity, Brandis adds structure to chaotic landscapes.

Managing Director, Executive Talent Acquisition - national non-profit organization

Thank you so much for your time earlier! I was feeling really burnt out, but after our meeting feel like I have some action items to improve my relationships with my clients AND create a better work/life balance for myself! I’m grateful to you for sharing some of your expertise with me and am planning to talk to my boss about having you connect with the other members of our team who aren’t already signed up for sessions. Thanks for creating a safe space to share my frustrations and struggles – our coaching session was exactly what I needed! I hope you have a great weekend and please feel free to use this on your website if you want to add another testimony to how fantastic you are!
