Life is too short to live with regrets. Did you learn something? Then it wasn't a mistake - it's all part of the journey.  There's ONE person you are destined to spend the rest of your life with - and it's YOU.  So you better start loving yourself, taking care of yourself, and settling your self-worth NOW. "Settle Your Worth and Launch the Life of Your Dreams" is Brenda's latest offering and has received rave reviews.


Her experiences on and off camera inform her memorable sessions. Author of the #1 Amazon New Release in Government Management, The Public Servants' Survival Guide, her ten keys to restoring joy in work and life appeal to any audience of busy people. As the architect of nationally-ranked corporate cultures, her "I Love My Job!: How to Create an Inspiring Workplace" addresses the challenges of engagement while offering insights to make core values effective pillars for coaching and praise.


Need to communicate better? "How to be Heard (without Screaming!)" offers practical skills to make the most of any speaking opportunity. Audiences are empowered to get what's in their heads out of their mouths effectively (and with grace), producing rave reviews and life-changing results.


Unpacking the communication problem led to extensive research on "Why don't we speak up?" The culprit?  FEAR.  Her "The Fear Factor" class was developed and its companion, "Create Your Life, One Thought at a Time" resulted in hundreds of testimonials from people whose lives have improved as a result of these practical and candid workshops.


Brenda's audiences laugh out loud. She is not shy about telling her own gut-wrenching life stories. In fact, the heartbeat of her story is "My messes are my message" and led to the registered trademarked phrase, "Embrace Your Flawsomeness."


If you have a group that is "Running on Empty" Brenda's Keynote based on her book, The Public Servants' Survival Guide, will help them self-assess and fuel their tanks to go on to improved and happier lives. 


When you mean BUSINESS about the well-being of your team, Brenda Viola is your go-to source for inspiration, motivation, and practical tools that, when applied, can change a life - or a business - for good.

Effectively Deal with Difficult People without "Losing It!"™

Are you dealing with a bully? A know-it-all?  An energy vampire?  

It's easy to react when you're being treated unfairly or with rudeness. It's more challenging to take a step back, breathe, and conjure up empathy, respect and diplomacy. Learn not only what pushes your buttons, but WHY - and practical tools to reduce the heat in an uncomfortable situation.

Embrace Your Flawsomeness!™

Format: 
2 - 4 Hours
This program is perfect for any audience member who:
A healthy sense of self makes for a more productive and enjoyable workplace. Those who lack self-worth resist coaching (or take it as crticism), they defend and protect their turf rather than collaborating - and constantly need approval and applause to compensate for how badly they really feel about themselves.

Self-worth is an inside job, and those...
