GROUP COACHING
Your Group,
Elevated
Design your next gathering for work or wellbeing - we'll curate something just for you.
MY APPROACH
Together, we can create greater connection, meaningful collaboration, or inspire individual growth.
We'll thoughtfully curate a topic for your group - whether your gathering is a full-day retreat, a virtual meeting, or an off-site.
Gather, with purpose. Grow, connect, support, and transform together.
Group coaching is a transformative experience and can be used to navigate transitions, build self-awareness, or cultivate stronger relationships.

HI, I'M BRANDY DEORNELLAS
Expert facilitator, Harvard-trained mediator, using evidence-based approaches to elevate groups.
FROM CHYI-SHIN SHU, UC BERKELEY HASS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP
"The perfect combination of inspiration and tactical skill development."
Brandy ran an amazing and thoughtful workshop for the Haas Women in Leadership Club and it was one of the best workshops I have ever attended! Because of Brandy's deep knowledge of professional coaching and experience, she was able to deliver the perfect combination of inspiration and tactical skill development. She was also prepared with research on current topics, anticipating multiple questions from the group.
Not only did she share relevant and insightful content, she also delivered it in a way that was interactive and easy to absorb. After walking us through [an exercise], we were paired into breakout rooms to apply our learnings straightaway. I took away several strategies [for] my summer internship - I wouldn't have been able to step into my role as confidently without Brandy's workshop!
FRom AMANDA SARAVIA-BUTLER, PHD, NASA AMES EARLY CAREER NETWORK
"Brandy went above and beyond - very happy with our choice."
The NASA Ames Early Career Network (ECN) recently hired Brandy. Brandy took the time to meet with the ECN Professional Development Committee (of which I am a member) to ensure she was clear on the workshop goals and that she had a thorough understanding of her audience. She provided a detailed workshop schedule well in advance, which allowed us to recruit over 100 attendees.
Brandy’s attitude and delivery was warm and inviting, providing a comfortable atmosphere that encouraged our attendees to ask questions and kept them all engaged. As the workshop was wrapping up, Brandy went above and beyond by providing her contact info to all of our attendees. Since the conclusion of the workshop, my e-mail has been flooded with gratitude. All of us on the NASA Ames ECN Professional Development Committee are very happy with our choice to hire Brandy.
FROM DAVID TSAI, THE HARVARD CLUB OF SAN FRANCISCO
"An expert in her craft... Her style is compelling and enjoyable."
Brandy led an excellent workshop on navigating career transitions for the Harvard Club of San Francisco. We had great attendance of nearly 50 attendees and meaningful engagement from the group. Many of the participants stayed on for another 45 minutes after the presentation to ask questions and get support. We are grateful she was gracious with her time as she added so much value during the Q&A.
Attendees shared that they found the workshop to be motivating, encouraging, and tactical. It is clear that Brandy is an expert in her craft, but she's also skilled at presentations. Her style is compelling and enjoyable. I enthusiastically recommend Brandy for your next workshop or event.
