“I have worked with Brenda for a year now. She is organized, professional and unbelievably precise. She is currently the business consultant at the same company that I do bookkeeping for. She was instrumental in getting me the position even though we didn't know each other at first. Not to toot my own horn but my company Balanced Books by Bruce is the best so she clearly recognizes skilled and talented professionals which is a necessary skill for someone in her line of work. I can't recommend her enough. She is ideal for any company or individual that wants to be better organized.”

Brenda Magee-Tyson is truly remarkable at what she does! By pin pointing the exact opportunity of growth that I needed in the season I was in, her instruction has allowed me to grow exponentially. She drives right into the root of defining your character, by asking the tough questions, and providing self reflective homework. One of my highest appreciations regarding Brenda’s tactics, was the fact that she consistently increased the way I viewed MYSELF. Once we were able to get past my subconscious “victim language”, we were able to aim for the stars and begin taking steps in that direction. Her intentional, organizational skills allowed for prompt and sincere follow up, which made me feel valued by her. Her delegation of check-in homework allowed me to constantly stay in thought regarding our previous conversation, as well as the one to come. With the help of Brenda, I went from receiving a demotion from a General Manager position, to now making it past interview #2 for a Regional Training Manager position. The title and job opportunity aren’t necessarily the reason why I thank Brenda; It’s the blessing of having someone who was patient and encouraging enough to give me the direction in which she believed I had potential for. I do need to add that Brenda is the definition of “no joke” when it comes to getting yourself from point A to point B. If you find yourself ready to sincerely make some moves into the next chapter of your life, she’s the one to reach out to. With her computer as her instrument for note taking, along with her eye glasses of perception, she’s ALL about turning what you thought was clumsy, into poise. I recommend her to all brackets and groups of individuals from the retail employee folding clothes, to the CEO of a well oiled machine. Brenda will take good care of you. I’m honored and grateful to be able to recommend her because, she truly is remarkable! She has left a mark on my heart and in my mind as I consistently remember and recite her statement of penetration; “You’ve got to do the work.”
