Hi! I’m Brenda Mariah
Personal trainer for your whole career!
I care about helping people do work they love and get paid what they’re worth. Encouraging professionals to push for deserved promotions and raises. Helping downsized professionals get back to work. Loving my clients enough to tell the truth even when it hurts. I believe in practical advising/coaching that will actually help you achieve your goals.
There are no empty cliches here, only step-by-step, practical counsel that helps you get unstuck, move the needle, and do the things you previously thought were out of your reach (job change, get promoted, negotiate your salary and get it, etc.).
I am wired for careers. Everything I hear translates to how I can help you navigate your career. That’s how I know I’m doing the right work!
Career exploration and advancement coaching are within reach. Thousands of professionals across my nearly 20-year career have all said in one way or another… “I feel confident and ready!”
My Process

Step 1: Unfiltered Discovery

We will develop (or give words to) your vision and goal(s). This may be hard because you may not believe you’re qualified…but I do, and I know how to help you get there!
-
Step 3: Actionable Strategy
Game plan…this could be as simple as a resume update or as complex as a multi-month coaching program. Once we know all the hurdles, we knock them down one by one!
-
Step 4: Celebrate Wins!
Your progress, big or small, deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated.

Steve’s Journey
Feeling lost and unsure of my next steps, a friend recommended I connect with Brenda. From our very first call, she walked me through her process with genuine passion and expertise. She took the time to understand my background, strengths, and aspirations—helping me see my own value in a way I hadn’t before.
Brenda transformed my resume into an authentic and compelling reflection of my skills and experience. Thanks to her guidance, I walked into my interview with confidence, knowing I was presenting the best version of myself. And the result? I landed a role with the right company—one that truly aligns with my goals, leadership style, and workplace culture.
I didn’t want to just be another cog in the corporate machine—I wanted a fulfilling career. Brenda made that possible. If you’re looking for a career coach who will bring out the best in you and set you up for success, I highly recommend her! – Steven Shaffer
