Brenda Benham is a retired lawyer who lifts people up by making them feel heard, respected and understood. In her business, which she started at age 61, that is how she approaches being a presentation skills trainer and coach. She helps detail-oriented people give much better presentations and pitches using the brain science of how people learn and remember. She helps her clients feel competent and be recognized as experts in their field. Her work is based on her own experience over 30 years of public speaking, as a Toastmaster since 2001, and her in-depth review of research into the brain science of how people learn and remember. When not helping people and organizations with their pitches and presentations, Brenda volunteers with Employ to Empower and Dress for Success Vancouver and can often be found at classical or folk music concerts or at challenging plays or films.
