‘This was hands down the most deeply transformative coaching I have ever participated in.’
“It's been over 24 hours and I still can't get yesterday's Women in Leadership session led by the wonderful Brita Fernandez Schmidt ACC out of my head.
Over the course of around 10 weeks Brita skilfully guided two cohorts of women from Alzheimer's Society through topics such as exploring our relationship with power, trust and defining our purpose. We used Brita's powerful case clinic approach to generate new perspectives on challenges we might be facing. One the big take aways for me was the importance of having a supportive network at work outside of your own team.
For any organisation who wishes to invest in their staff and build capability, I would thoroughly recommend Brita's course. Brita's facilitation skills and knowledge of the topic areas explored are excellent and she is truly inclusive in her approach. Thank you so much to Alzheimer's Society for investing in your female managers in this way. Fiscal studies illustrate that when you invest in women, society does better. I am excited to see what lies ahead for the strong women that I had the privilege to meet on my cohort. And I will cherish the powerful stories shared as part of the course, and the deeper relationships that I have built with colleagues as a result of participating in it. For myself I feel I have now gained the confidence and tools to start planning my path ahead.”

“Dear Brita,
After a few days of reflection, I wanted to write to you to say a huge thank you for your incredible guidance through your program. Your dedication and passion to teaching - and room for us to self-learn - were truly inspiring and will leave a long lasting impact.
I found your emphasis on authenticity particularly profound. You showed us that true leadership and power stems from being genuine and embracing our unique selves, and this perspective has reshaped the way I view my interactions, both personally and professionally – making us not only better leaders but also better individuals.
Thank you again – I will cherish the memories, connections and lessons from this program.”

“The Step Into Your Power programme was fantastic.
I really feel like I’ve grown in myself both professionally and personally. The course allows you to get to the core of who you really are by identifying your beliefs and values. From this, Brita supports you in identifying the ways in which you want to lead authentically.”
— Samantha Pratt | Tag Heuer
“Time with Brita is a precious gift and a truly enhancing experience.
With her Step Into Your Power course, her unlimited empathy and emotional intelligence allowed each of us to unlock their inner strengths and power that we all have. Fear and uncertainty are replaced with courage, belief in your instincts and a magnified self-awareness; she guides us expertly and very personally through the discovery. I wish I could do it all again.”
— Rachel Rollo | LVMH Fashion Group
“I still cannot believe we are coming to the end of our training programme.
This has been one of the most valuable experiences in my career journey, and it came at the right time for me. Throughout this process, there have been so many lightbulb moments that made me realise so many things about myself.
It has been such a privilege to be part of this programme, to listen to other colleagues and to be inspired by you. You didn’t just help me find my inner fierce, but you inspire me to raise my boys to find their path, treat others with respect and without bias. It makes me think a lot about how our childhood impacts who we’ve become, how it’s shaped our society and a small difference I can make starts at home with my two boys.”
