OUR SUCCESS STORIES

"We had the pleasure of having Brenda as a Facilitator during our Future of Work Career Readiness Bootcamp in July 2021. The passion and drive with which she delivered her rich content kept our audience engaged and active throughout the duration of her speaking time. We found her facilitation style to be interactive, thought-provoking and inspiring. The feedback from our participants was very positive - they appreciated the passion and mastery with which Brenda delivered her material. A good number of participants were inspired to take immediate action towards optimizing their CVs and LinkedIn profiles, just like Brenda had taught. Thank you very much Brenda!!."

"Brenda!!!! I was in a dark place, stuck up and unsure of what I want to continue doing with my life and career after working for five years. Having the review session with Brenda changed my entire perspective and gave me a new direction. She revamped my CV, highlighting skills I didn't even know I had. It's surreal. We spoke about new things I could do based on previous experience and new things I could learn. I've gotten clarity I really wanted and I'm so grateful to you. Please use her service, it's worth every dime. Thank you, thank you."

"Brenda has been engaged with YWCA Canada in a range of ways – first in March 2018 when she was selected to participate in YWCA Canada’s flagship leadership program, next as a delegate at YWCA Canada’s Day on the Hill, and now Brenda serves as a member of our Leadership Summit Animation Team. Brenda’s continued involvement in our Think Big! Lead Now! Young Women’s National Leadership Program has allowed us to create a safer space for all woman-identified and non-binary youth. Her inclusive leadership style is remarkable and she continues to inspire other young leaders every day. We’re proud to work alongside her.” We are honoured to have a dynamic leader like Brenda Okorogba as part of our YWCA Canada community and thank her for her ongoing service. We wish Brenda continued success in her endeavours!"

"Brenda helped change my life and I am so grateful for her! I had met Bren multiple times over the years and in passing but at one of the last conferences we attended together, I approached her and asked for help with my Letter of Intent /Statement of Purpose for grad school applications. Brenda sat down during her busy schedule and we wrote my entire SOP together for one of the grad schools I was applying for. The hour I spent with her allowed me to learn how to write a professional letter, what to include, and how to show them I was the perfect fit for the program. I used that letter to help me write my other ones and I ended up receiving two fully-funded offers to my top programs. As a Canadian student who didn't have a perfect GPA, I credit a lot of my success to Bren who taught me how to best sell myself and my assets. Bren regularly sends me messages of support, opportunities, and other information she thinks I may be interested in. I'm so lucky to have Bren!"

"Excellent session with Brenda. I went in crude and returned refined. How does a person impart so much into you in such a short time? The question I kept asking myself. She is a life coach! The career part is one of the perks of the package. She was made for this and more. For my session, I had Spiritual, Family, financial, professional, business, and career impartation. Unpacked so much within the time. This is a ministry for her and I will say thank you for saying YES, to this call. Humble and kind-hearted. Yes, I will flood people in your direction, highly recommended, everyone needs a MomentWithBren"

“Brenda has been supporting the participants of our Empowering Visible Minority Women program for over one year now. Brenda's presentation is on personal and professional branding. Her support extends beyond the content of her slides. Brenda is able to engage with each participant on an individual level and often continues outside of the formal sessions. Brenda understands their journeys and connects with each person at their starting point. Brenda provides practical guidance while challenging each person to own their journey. I have had several participants tell me that Brenda came into their lives at just the right time and helped them to find clarity and focus. Brenda is personable, professional and genuine.”
