Brodie and her clients experience the greatest success together when clients are willing to examine their own stories and assumptions and explore what can be possible when they are open and honest with themselves.

What matters to me is…

integrity, authenticity, humanity, gratitude, and relationships.

One thing I’ve done that I’m proud of is…

starting a pro-bono coaching program for Back on My Feet DC, a non-profit that supports individuals experiencing homelessness as they reinvent their lives through running. A group of professional coaches (myself included!) donated coaching engagements to alumni members who had secured independent housing and full-time employment and were looking to expand their personal and career development. It was a transformative experience for both the members and the coaches.

I’m part of The Boda Group because…

I value and admire Boda’s rigorous, practical, evidence-based approach to coaching and leadership development.
